Urgent action needed to stop young people using e-cigarettes
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.
