Donna Demaio: Australia Correspondent on the changes to Australia's vape ban - Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

Australia is taking a firm stance on vaping. 

The sale of vapes will be restricted to pharmacies from next week, as the Greens agree to pass a proposed ban. 

However, the Government has agreed to water down restrictions that would have required adults to obtain a prescription.  

Australia Correspondent Donna Demaio told Mike Hosking that this has sparked anger, as pharmacists say that they should be prescription only. 

She said that restrictions will still be in place regarding packaging and flavours, limiting the products to plain packaging and mint, menthol, and tobacco flavours.
