(1) Yes.
(2) On 10 June 2022, I announced the first phase of the State Government’s action plan to tackle vaping among school-aged students. The strategy is aimed at educating students, families and school staff on the significant health risks and impact of these devices. It is targeted at secondary schools in particular, but the resources will be useful for all schools and made available to the public and non-government sectors.
