MOVES to restrict access to vaporised nicotine products have been put on hold, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) announced yesterday.
In a statement the TGA said the proposal had been designed to prevent people taking up smoking and to support those trying to quit.
However, it said "pending the final outcome [of the decision to amend the current Poisons Standard in relation to nicotine] it has been decided to defer the proposed restriction".
"To proceed, at the present time, with such an amendment, would unnecessarily pre-empt any further deliberations the Delegate is required by the therapeutic goods regulatory scheme to take in reaching a final decision."
