Abstract
Australia has some of the most restrictive laws concerning use of nicotine in e-cigarettes. The only current legal option for Australians to legally possess and use nicotine for vaping is with a medical prescription and domestic supply is limited to compounding pharmacies that prepare medicines for specific patients. An alternative regulatory option that could be implemented under current drugs and poisons regulations is a ‘nicotine licensing’ scheme utilising current provisions for ‘dangerous poisons’. This commentary discusses how such a scheme could be used to trial access to nicotine solutions for vaping outside of a ‘medicines framework’ in Australia.
