Vaping in Oz

[Richard Winter]

Today and yesterday filled out petions and and tell Govt Politicians then, today and over the last week. Last one took half an hour plus to fill out. I don't care how long but the questions were idiotic from the Govt body and got so childish im sure they were fishing for responses to frustrate and iliicet negative responses to show us vapers as idiots. I personally am sick of it, but I keep on punching for vaping. And will.

It sounds like it really is an uphill battle over there mate. Keep fighting and hopefully it WILL make a difference. I would do exactly the same if the shite hit the fan over here.

Non stop. Every day I get alerts. They are not fake. I put submissions in to Govt people. Take part in partitions.
They want vaping gone here.
I keep punching on.
Its ridiculous here, unrelenting. The Govt behind the scenes are on our tail all the time.
Filled out a form just yesterday that took 30 mins, I dont care how long but the Questions were many utterly ridiculous!
I'll go as long as I can trying!
Look, I get about some packing here, childish stuff with cartoon characters, showing flavours with rainbows and unicorns and kid child like characters. For crying out loud "Vape Industry Just Stop That Crap" they are ruining it! Just stop that Crap! Flavour companies "Stop, Stop, Stop it"
Stop showing flavours Like Childrens Candy!
Much of the Vape Industry are their own Worst Enemies sadly.
They just may bring about their own demise!
I sadly feel here they will

I've just spent several hours looking at your laws on vaping and read articles from your own Lung Foundation and quite frankly a lot of it contradicts that which I read from our own health authorities here.
Your governing bodies often talk about a concoction of toxic chemicals, how nicotine causes cancer, is highly addictive, second hand vaping is lickly to cause cancer, vaping is a gateway to smoking etc etc etc.
It just seems to me that they are making many assumptions without any hard evidence.
The worrying factor is you (Australia) are not alone in this, many other countries are making the same accusations.

And they are ramping it up again.
All the news shows on TV have aired stories about new scientific testing done here showing vapes are full of toxic heavy metals and that all juice samples they tested randomly were high in nicotine. Utter rubbish. They got those samples themselves, not randomly from proper vape shops. I know of no proper vape shop you could walk into and every juice will have nic. They dont sell it.
Tomorrow though a show is airing here that paints Vaping as the worst thing ever here. In the adds was a teen girl saying when she vaped she'd cough up black phlem. She was vaping....old engine oil?
Its on our time at 7pm 7News Spotlight.
