In 2020, the TGA re-classified nicotine as a Schedule 4 substance under the Poisons Standard, meaning that consumers require a prescription from a medical prescription to obtain a nicotine a vaping product.^[3] To date, there are no nicotine vaping products registered or included on the ARTG, so consumers must obtain these through the Authorised Prescriber (AP) Scheme, Special Access Scheme (SAS) B or Personal Importation Scheme pathways.^[4]
