Dr Sandro Demaio is the CEO of VicHealth and a globally-renowned public health expert. He joins Dr Shane and the Einstein A Go-Go team to discuss the harms of vaping, in particular on young people. With the long-term risks and effects of these products still unknown, Sandro discusses how we might be able to restrict or control e-cigarettes to avoid it becoming a health crisis.
He also shares how he is currently pushing for a national agency for independent health advice, or an 'Australian CDC'. Australia is currently the only OECD country without such an institution to coordinate, manage, inform and direct health advice.
