Australia has become the first country in the world to ban the sale of vapes outside of pharmacies, with the law coming into effect on Monday.

Heidi Murphy heard Federal Health Minister Mark Butler speaking on ABC TV this morning about the crackdown on the distribution of vapes.

And it led the fill-in 3AW Mornings host to say there’s “very serious enforcement to come”.
