Attention All Aussie Vapers!

This could quite possibly be the most important call to action in the history of Australian Vaping.

The Senate Select Committee on Tobacco Harm Reduction is now active and due to report by 1 December 2020. They are currently accepting submissions from consumers regarding their thoughts regarding the future of nicotine bearing e-liquid and vaping in Australia.

You can be certain that the forces against us will undoubtedly submit their version which is why it is vital that we make sure ours is as well.

Athra have provided guidelines for submissions here:

This has the potential to change everything. Stand up and be counted. Let your voice be heard!

Good news!!!
We have another reprieve!!

“Pending the final outcome of the process required by law, it has been decided to defer the proposed restriction on importation of nicotine for use in e-cigarettes and, separately, e-cigarette devices (by an amendment to the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations 1956).”

We can’t stop now!!
Make sure you and those who support vaping make a submission to the Senate Inquiry:

This boils my piss here is a link to a submission to the Australian Senate from Prof. Emily Banks. This report was commissioned by the Australian Health Minister Greg Hunt and cost the Australian Tax payer 750k call it 5 pages (generous) because of the pretty pictures and reference material attributions so about 150k per page of absolute garbage this Prof should be charged with fraud.

20%? Really? I could be wrong Emily, but I find that really hard to believe. Shameful :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:.

Makes me smile when the foremost expert on harm reduction in the southern hemisphere (Dr Alex Wodak) totally owns Senator Tony Sheldon (who until this answer thought he was the smartest in the room)
