The Asthma and Respiratory Foundation says that vaping is causing almost as many problems as it has been said to be solving, and wants to see disposable vapes banned from general use.

The local group has joined the Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand and the Lung Foundation Australia in calling for the prohibition.

Although it does still say that vaping products should be available to smokers kicking the habit.

Asthma and Respiratory Foundation chief executive Letitia Harding spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
