Are nicotine vapes legal in Queensland?
In Brisbane, Queensland and throughout Australiaa vaping is only legal if you have a prescription from your doctor.

Ordering nicotine vape liquid from online marketplaces is only legal if you have a prescription. If you choose to order vape products from international suppliers into Queensland it is recommended you request a copy of your prescription to be included in the package to avoid any penalties or fines.
To avoid any penalties, fines or uncertainty about the safety of your vape, engaging with Help Me Stop or your doctor will ensure you receive a vape device and e-liquid that meets Australiaan standards.
