Australia is banning recreational vaping to try to stop an alarming rise in teenagers using e-cigarettes.

Under new rules, they'll only be sold in pharmacies to help smokers quit, and there'll be restrictions on packaging.

The Government there also wants to limit nicotine levels and ban all disposable vapes.

Last year, the Irish Government approved restrictions on the sale and advertising of vapes.

If the proposals become law - self-service vending machines would be banned.
