Non-prescription vapes will be banned from importation, and the federal government will work with states and territories to close down the sale of vapes in retail settings.

The tax on tobacco will also increase 5 per cent each year for the next three years, as the government also seeks to curb cigarette smoking through higher costs.

Under new rules, vapes will only be sold in pharmacies and in "pharmaceutical-like" packaging, with certain flavours, colours and other ingredients banned, and the concentration and volume of nicotine reduced.
