Senator, I can say this. The Pharmacy Guild of Australia stood beside the minister for health only a month ago, and Trent Twomey said:
… Australia's 6,000 community pharmacies stand ready, willing, and able to work with both the Commonwealth and State and Territory Governments to not only keep vapes out of the hands of our children … but also to increase the accessibility of smoking cessation alternatives.
This is exactly what our laws here will achieve.
