Gday

A news report from Australia where it’s not legal to sell vaping liquids that contain nicotine. Testing has shown over 1/2 do contain nicotine.

Pretty disturbing as many unwitting are putting nicotine into bodies.

Hey @Cbdave, what's it like up north... I don't think Vaping is as big a thing here as it is in the northern hemisphere, I know its not in Melbourne, there are vapers bet we all think they are a littls wanky and its not that common.... how is it in the land of the banana and cane toad?

G’day

I know of a few people that vape and sort of fluctuate between the vape and cigerettes so I don’t think it’s a real way of weaning of the cigs. All I hear from them is the same kind of excuses as I used as a smoker. 

One friend said something to me once that really stuck a note with me and I’ve never forgot it. When I asked him why he didn’t vape anymore his rely was that one night when drinking he went through enough vape to be equal to 80 cigs. No sore throat or anything to warn him to back off. He only realised next day and gave it away as he was worried that he could poison himself. He had friends that had been made sick as there was not way to tell how strong the stuff was. He still smokes cigerettes. 

 No nicotine based juice can legally be sold here so there is no regulation or standards to protect anyone. That’s a worry, it’s worse than illegal drugs you don’t know what your going to get through the mail from some clown on the internet.

Sorta a bit worrying when it’s suposed to be safer than smoking cigs.

So vapers that I know are still smokers really they just change between the nicotine delievery style, the addictions the same.

Like smoking I hate the addiction but like the people cause I was that addict once
