Electronic cigarettes: approach of Australia and Great Britain

Abstract

Electronic cigarettes (EC) are a controversial topic and the approaches of different countries also differ. We can compare Great Britain (GB), where ECs are recommended as a smoking cessation aid and available over-the-counter, and Australia, part of the Commonwealth, where only ECs without nicotine are free available, while ECs with nicotine are currently tied to the prescription of a physician.
