Pharmacists in most states can now sell nicotine vapes without a prescription
The Pharmacy Guild of Australia says nicotine vapes pose a risk to pharmacists' duty of care obligations.
Pharmacists can now supply nicotine vapes without a prescription in most Australian states under new laws that have outraged the Pharmacy Guild of Australia.
From Tuesday, pharmacists in all states but Tasmania and WA can sell vapes with a nicotine concentration of 20mg/mL or less without a prescription to adults aged 18 or older, provided they are supplied in plain packaging and are restricted to tobacco, menthol and mint flavours.
