E-Cigarettes

The Hon. J.E. HANSON (15:01): Final supplementary: will the minister consider implementing the recommendations of the bipartisan select committee report that flavours of vaping products attractive to children should be banned?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:02): From my recollection, there were three recommendations of the committee that have still not been implemented, and I certainly think that we should be looking at the select committee work, the work in other jurisdictions. I am keen to have conversations with my federal and interstate colleagues, because I think recent events in the United States have highlighted the fact that e-cigarettes are a significant risk which may not yet be fully understood. If the honourable member is suggesting that, considering recent events, we need to look again at whether we should be strengthening the e-cigarettes legislation, I think that is a valid point: recent developments are concerning.
