This is great.                                                            "At the same time, there is also clear evidence of growing illegal sales of nicotine-containing e-cigarettes and e-liquids,"  out here the same the black market will arise...

 

 

 

 

This commercial i see on the ID chnl out here      https://www.ispot.tv/ad/dWYp/truth-mind-blown

So for me, the most disturbing statement in that is big tobacco identifying vaping as "a potentially safer alternative" ..... 'potentially' playing semantics for defense against future class actions.

bigbtabacco would love to be able to sell nicotine vapes in Australia. Sure they love to see in law so they could get a monoply again.

But no one can sell nicotine vape. That’s everyone! As an individual you can buy and import a personal supply. When I checked it was a max of 3 months personal  supply. 

But you can’t sell it. That’s illegal. 

Off course big tabacco is pissed off cause it can’t control the market!

WA is illegal to sell vape equipement of any sort which is diferent to the other states. Big tabacco would love to explote that difference. But from what I’ve read the evidence coming in from around the world doesn’t support the much touted therory that vaping is a pathway to giving up smoking but rather that it has little effect in cutting smoking rates. Big tabacco hasn’t got much to fight with!
