Of course, it cannot be enforced on the majority of the e-cig market - the nicotine based e-cig market, given it's illicit.
PS: I'd love to see Juul apply to the TGA to be granted the right to be prescribed. It'd cause ANTZ head explosions in both the US and Australia. Super bonus, it might even be approved, and if not, be a (further) demonstration of the underlying motivation being anything but health.
Gather that the TGA may have just banned personal importation, even for those who have a prescription
Great review.

Cinnamon is prohibited?
I can't understand that one?
There is apparently some lung assault from cinnamaldehyde. Doubtful it is a large risk.
In any case, the flavor industry has known about this for a while and has developed analogues of the cinnamon flavor using combos of other flavors.
What's more(1) insane is that there is a max $1.1 million fine (or 12 years jail) if you hand someone a cinnamon (cinnamaldehyde) vape!
