Nicotine Vapes Banned In Australia
If the person is going to have possession of one without the prescription is also going to be an unlawful act, the only exception is South Australia.

From 1st October, the Australian border force is going to have the power to intercept packages of nicotine vapes, liquid nicotine and nicotine pods, the head of the Therapeutic Goods Administration naming John Skerritt has stated, the ban has been made to prevent people from taking up nicotine vaping.

It seems like the trend is on up in Australia, Sophia Boroczky who is at the age of 20 is one of the consumers about whom TGA is worried, a previously non-addicted smoker who is now using nicotine e-cigarettes. Switching to vaping was an easier thing to do, it has been slightly cheaper for her, she stated it is less noticeable too and there is this image that vaping is way better than smoking so people seem to be less afraid of it.

Saying that nicotine-vaping is the solution to reducing smoking in Australia is like saying that CANE TOADS were a good idea to prevent cane beetle here. We know how that went! It’s our kids who would suffer by becoming smokers or becoming addicted or poisoned by nicotine.

So nicotine vaping is poor as smoking cessation strategy, but has been shown to create new smokers (that’s why Big Tobacco is buying in), nicotine addiction and poisoning. PROTECT OUR KIDS and don’t listen to rubbish from pro-vaping lobby.

The people who are going to be affected the most are the people who are currently smoking and they have decided they want to switch to vaping, after 1st October, they are going to be finding it pretty difficult. The situation has been created because of consumption and this is something which is necessary to do as of this point in time as there are so many youngsters who have started consuming nicotine at such a small age.
