  • In short: Australia will restrict the sale of vapes to pharmacies from next week, as the Greens agree to pass a proposed ban.
  • The government has agreed however to water down restrictions that would have required adults to obtain a prescription.
  • What's next? The laws will be debated and put to a vote in parliament later this week.

Yeah, that's why the Greens opposed prescription. They aren't as subject to the Murdoch media cycle so they're free to point out the issues with criminalisation from an evidence based practice perspective.
