New vaping laws banning disposables come into force today
The distribution, manufacture, sale and supply of disposable vapes are now banned.
There will be increased penalties - up to $400,000 for manufacturers, importers and large retailers - and as much as $50,000 for any other person - who breaches the rules.
The way stores look has to change from today as well - vape products must be kept out of sight. Online stores can't have images of vape products and they can't link to overseas websites with these pictures.
