Queensland to ban public vaping

The Australian state of Queensland is set to outlaw the use of electronic cigarettes in those public places where tobacco smoking is already banned, according to story by Jonathan Pearlman for The Telegraph.

And it is set to further equate electronic and tobacco cigarettes by banning advertising of the former and banning their sales to young people.

The new regulations are due to come into force from the start of next year.

Australia bans the sale of electronic cigarettes that deliver nicotine.
