Fewer School-age Children Vaping in Australia Since Ban, Study Says

Australia has seen a recent decrease in school-age children vaping since the implementation of recent bans.

A new study suggests that the decline is due to authorities' strict enforcement of anti-vaping laws.

The study also reports that the decline in vaping has been accompanied by an increase in the use of traditional cigarettes.

Experts are concerned about this shift and encourage parents to talk to their children about the dangers of smoking.

Policies may need to be revised by authorities to ensure they are effective in preventing young people from smoking.
