E-cigarette crackdown not enough, Tasmanian anti-smoking group says

ABC  

A Government plan to crack down on the use and sale of e-cigarettes in Tasmania is not enough for an anti-smoking group, which says the safety of the devices is still in question. Ban the lot, anti-smoking group says Dr Kathryn Barnsley from SmokeFree Tasmania said the jury was still out on the safety of e-cigarettes. SmokeFree Tasmania said while it was concerned about e-cigarette use, it would continue to urge the State Government to ban tobacco. Let consumers decide, retailer says Launceston e-cigarette retailer Ben Vigers said consumers should be able to make their own choices. "I believe that the regulations would just mean that they'd put a burden on our customers, which means we have to increase prices on certain things," Mr Vigers said.
