Audio: Challenge to 'moral panic' of how vapes should be classified

Health

The Australian Medical Association has called the rise of vapes a catastrophic health concern. From July this year, a new Australian law mandated "all vapes and vaping products, regardless of whether they contain nicotine or not, can only be sold in a pharmacy". #Newsworthy speaks to public health specialist and vaping advocate Dr Colin Mendelsohn, who has a different, controversial take.

'We know enough to know it's at least much less harmful than smoking and that's all we should need to know to make it legal.'
