Hello Bigboss!! How are you today? I hope you are always healthy, your sustenance is abundant, and all your activities are made easy!

In 2020, Australian Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt announced new measures banning the import of nicotine-containing vape liquids. A number of public health experts, tobacco harm reduction advocates, and parliamentarians spoke out against these measures, leading to their deferral.

However, earlier this year the TGA announced that the sale of products would be restricted to pharmacies via prescription: "...the import of nicotine e-cigarettes and nicotine liquid for vaping will require a doctor's prescription. This is in line with current domestic restrictions under State and Territory laws, which prohibit the supply of nicotine-containing e-cigarettes in Australia without a valid medical prescription."

Permission to make 'limited representations' of vaping products

Meanwhile, the latest announcement grants pharmacists permission to make 'limited representations' of these products. In a statement released on Monday, July 5, the TGA said: "generally, it is unlawful to advertise prescription medicines. However, the TGA has granted legal permission that allows pharmacies and pharmacy marketing groups to advertise (i.e., promote), through specific media, where to obtain nicotine e-cigarettes and nicotine liquids with a prescription."

"This means that patients who have been prescribed nicotine liquid to quit smoking will know where they can fill their prescriptions," the statement continued. "Pharmacies that dispense nicotine e-cigarettes or nicotine liquid with a prescription may, under certain circumstances, promote to those wishing to fill their prescriptions that the pharmacy has stock."
