I might actually pay for the piece of paper to say I’m Aussie just to vote again. I have refused so far

I was only thinking yesterday in regards to this.
With the amount of vapers I now see I was wondering about a form of voting backlash but most I see are using disposables so I don’t know how invested they might be as such.
I’ve spoken to a few at work who either didn’t know about the upcoming BS or didn’t care stating they’re not worried as they will have their source.
I’ve traveled the road of emailing federal members etc and basically been ignored or just regurgitated the party line.
With the constant flogging vaping receives in the media especially surrounding school kids I would imagine upset parents will outweigh vapers but I just cannot move past the fact that lethal tobacco is available everywhere legally yet a much safer alternative will soon be heavily if not completely restricted. It just makes absolutely no sense no matter where you sit.
I heard Mark Butler saying yesterday that the government intends to up their game and put more graphic health warnings onto packets and mark individual cigarettes.
Up their game! What difference is that going to make in regards to helping people quit? Everyone knows smoking can lessen your life and we’ve all seen the horror pictures and adverts. Unless you live under a stone it’ll just be water off a ducks back.
Embrace and properly regulate vaping is by far the best policy. It’s already illegal for persons under 18 to access tobacco or vaping merchandise but it’s not policed enough.

Same most people I’ve spoken to don’t know or don’t care, they are on disposables.
There’s also more people out there who are saying vaping is worse than smoking, especially in the medical profession. One of them wasn’t impressed when I told them it was all propaganda because the government is loosing $5 billion in taxes.

There lays the whole issue, I even know of a guy and vape shop group of store in South Adelaide selling them nic of course. Plus they are mixing their own Liquid Nic and even offering 500mg nic… mmmmm
And these are the same guys on FB promoting their stores or advise in the vape groups… make you wonder…
This and these guys are the issue as it was ALWAYS a money grab not a help to quit smoking.

What the……
Another issue is some dumb bastard is going to be mixing up shit, probably can’t add up stuff it all up, cut it with something unknown, make some one sick and give the haters more fuel.

No labs, not calibrated measuring, on a S4 poison… yep smart.
Absolutely and will be up on charges of causing injury or death at worse.

My thoughts exactly and all this would be knocked on the head overnight if sensible regulations were put into law.
After reading that I’m even more concerned about what the future holds and I don’t just mean that from a selfish standpoint but more so from a worried citizen.
If that’s the sort of shit that’s going to or is happening it’s only a matter of time. Now those bastards should face the full weight of the law.
