📛 Myth-Busting: What 98% of Visitors Get Wrong at Kings Launceston
Walk into Kings Launceston on a Saturday and you’ll hear the same questions on loop. Most are based on 2023 Reddit threads or a mate’s half-remembered advice. By 2025, four critical variables have changed:
- Nicotine ceiling dropped to 20 mg/mL under the Therapeutic Goods Administration’s revised Poisons Standard.
- Single-use flavour bans begin 1 July 2025—menthol and tobacco only thereafter.
- Disposable import permits now required for >2 mL liquid capacity.
- In-store age verification upgraded to biometric scanners; fake IDs fail 100% of the time.
Ignore any one of these and your “bargain” becomes a 445 AUD fine.
