The reason gov chose not to regulate vaping with sin taxes is the same reason they allowed big tobacco to undercut the competition for access to the closed-loop pharmacy market rort. #jobsformates
@LivePippas@CancerCouncilOz ✅ Other - support smokers to move to vaping as it’s evidentially the most successful way to quit smoking.
Tobacco harm reduction for the finger waggers up the back!
Thoroughly enjoyed this interview with @BrianWalkerMLC, centred on WA, but applicable Australia wide with these ridiculous laws. @LivePippas@ALIVEadvocacy

@AlexWodak It doesnt even make sense. Kids have been and are still buying the disposables from the black market, The government have closed down vape shops which sold a different product to adults to help them quit and stay off the smokes, The black market doesnt follow these INSANE laws.
@Ashling21588151 Me too. Lesson learned. My labor MP didn’t even acknowledge two emails I sent pouring my heart out and sharing my experience with vaping… nothing. Nada. Not even an auto reply, probs saw #vaping in the subject line and pressed delete.
@thebee I actually did the Mutley laugh reading this…. Who TF are these people? I blame Trump for making people think it’s ok to think opinions are facts and argue them as such…. It’s literally making people dumber.
@AlexWodak Pretty sure the new laws don’t work for any vaping adult.
The fact the govt hasn’t even decided what success or failure looks like is a clear indicator that these laws are nothing more than virtue signalling.
Virtue signalling that’s costing more a million adults their wellbeing
Check out this review of the evidence!
“Evidence from randomised controlled trials and from two Cochrane reviews shows e-cigarettes with nicotine are more effective at helping people quit at 6 months or longer than nicotine replacement therapy (NRT)”
Over a million #vaping voters left in the dark after being shat on by Mark Butler, the media, and Labor for the last year or so, all to “save the children” hysteria… meanwhile adults can’t get vapes now, but the kids can still get theirs… #auspol *slow clap*
@ALIENRAC3 All you have to do is look at any Aussie vaping forum, and there are droves of vapers lamenting their return to smokes - not even a week in… it makes my heart hurt, and my belly burn with rage.
We’ve seen this movie many times before so we all know how this one is going to end. What’s different about this time is that many tobacco control leaders have adopted the flagrant dishonesty of Big Tobacco at its worst.
