Do vaping bans work?

New Zealand and Australia are two of the latest countries to introduce restrictions.

Around 60 million adults around the world vape but governments are trying to crack down by putting bans in place. New Zealand and Australia are two of the latest countries to introduce restrictions.

The 麻豆社鈥檚 Laura Foster, Dr Stewart Beggs, Freddie Dawson from ECigIntelligence, and Priyansha Gupta, a law student from Rajasthan, all help us to try and answer those questions.

And we have a quick update on that meeting discussing deforestation in the Amazon.
