More and more young Australians are using e-cigarettes. These are harmful to health and can cause nicotine
addiction, poisoning, seizures, burns and lung injury. The long-term harms are not yet known. Non-smokers who use e-cigarettes are much more likely to go on to smoke tobacco.

This is a rapidly accelerating public health crisis. Cancer Council and other public health groups call on governments to take immediate action—before it is too late.

The only way to halt the epidemic of e-cigarette use among young people is to significantly strengthen enforcement of existing laws and enact additional legislative controls. Read the recommendations from Cancer Council, COSA and other leading public health organisations.
