The new vaping tax has enraged vaping lobby groups and vaping manufacturers.

Key Points: 
  • The new vaping tax has enraged vaping lobby groups and vaping manufacturers.
  • We conclude that the vaping tax is flawed because it is not well-targeted at reducing the consumption of vaping products among the youth.
  • As currently structured, the excise tax is not sufficiently targeted at reducing, or preventing, the use of vaping products among youth.

Youth and lifelong addiction

    • Disposable vapes, which are closed systems thrown away once the liquid is finished, have become increasingly popular among the youth.
    • These are not teenagers switching from smoking cigarettes to e-cigarettes, but rather teenagers who are initiating a potential lifelong addiction to nicotine through vapes.
    • The vaping industry claims it sells only to people aged 18 and older, but this isn’t true.
    • Among the 5,583 learners in grades 8-12 (high school learners) who completed the survey, 15% used vaping devices.

      These high prevalence rates are not surprising given that vaping devices are marketed to the youth.

    • This is a problem, because the excise tax is not well-targeted at reducing the consumption of vaping products among the youth.

Addressing the flaws

    • Most vaping products will experience only limited price increases under the new tax.
    • The excise tax on vaping products will go some way to reduce the demand for these products.
    • Unfortunately, there are flaws in the current tax system.

School nurses are real nurses

    • It’s a common misconception among students and staff that school nurses are not “real nurses”.
    • I come across this in my work with school nurses – people think nurses are only trained to work in hospitals, even though a large group specialise in working outside them.

What do they do?

    • The hours school nurses work and the work they do (even the job title they have) often depends on their employer.
    • Some school nurses primarily care for students with acute health issues such as illness or injury.
    • Beyond this, nurses can coordinate health care for boarding school students, or attend school camps and sporting events.

Health promotion and screening


    Some school nurses focus on health promotion and early interventions. This can includes screening for speech, vision or hearing problems. It can also include working with teachers to deliver health education about topics such as vaping and respectful relationships.

Nurses as a bridge between two worlds

    • School nurses are the bridge between health and education: while well informed about the health system, they also have insight into how complex schools and classrooms can be.
    • School nurses can help young people be - and stay - at school.
    • School nurses can also be advocates for children, and help them beyond the school gates.

We need more information

    • Despite the many benefits, we don’t know exactly how many school nurses there are, or even how many students they provide care to as this information isn’t publicly available.
    • Some sources suggest there are approximately 1,500 school nurses in Australia but this is likely to be an underestimate.
    • With the school reform agreement there is a major opportunity to improve health services to students by improving their access to school nurses.
