Public Health Association of Australia
Following reports today of an increase in shocking e-cigarette accidents in Australian schools, the Public Health Association of Australia (PHAA) is calling for strong Government action to protect children in Australia.
Adjunct Professor Terry Slevin, CEO, PHAA says:
"The predatory tactics of e-cigarette companies, including big tobacco, has resulted in a surge in children vaping and parents should be alarmed.
"We need both state and federal governments to take action now to protect children from harm – including nicotine addiction, dangerous chemicals and life-threatening accidents. Australia is a world leader in tobacco control, but to continue this legacy we need to ensure that e-cigarettes aren't being passed around the playground."
