We need non-medicalised legal access for smokers to vaping in Australia not misinformation, junk science, prejudice, ideological bias and unscientific concerns.
I lived thru and witnessed the evolution of vaping, I saw it innovated and driven by the community, a collective of ordinary people who desperately wanted to be rid of cigarettes, and saw and embraced the future of nicotine Harm Reduction. There was NOT a big T company in sight!
Nice work Rick.
The curious case of the disappearing smoking data. The Roy Morgan release was unequivocal: smoking rates among young adults are up after vaping ban which had "demonstrably failed". And then it disappeared and was replaced with something more amenable. thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/health/20…
Great to see news media actually questioning the government line on tobacco/nicotine control. These policies are failing on nearly every meaningful measure.
Exclusive: Roy Morgan data showed rising nicotine use among 18–24-year-olds. Within days, the report was taken down. Critics say it embarrassed the government. Others say it challenged tobacco control orthodoxy. satpa.pe/A1pGifx
"the main effect of the Butler [#vapes] ban has been.....to increase the number of young people smoking. Which is likely to mean more of them will die early." heraldsun.com.au/news/opinion/j… archive.is/C9na3
Same lies on ABC RN news just now about vaping this time they wheeled in @SimonChapman6. We see what you are up to @Mark_Butler_MP
Minister Mark Butler has declared that Australia’s vaping crackdown is working citing over 10 million illicit vapes seized and a reported decline in teenage vaping rates. On the surface, this may sound like progress. But when you dig deeper into the data, the picture becomes far…
12 months on from the vaping reform legislation, we remain resolute to enforce the reforms. Over 10M illicit vapes have been seized in the past year & vaping rates are down for young Australians. It may take time but we’re here for the long haul for a healthier Australia.
Just heard news story on ABC with @Mark_Butler_MP saying that vaping rates have gone down and everything is going to plan because of Becky's 'Generation Vape' data. What a joke. We see you Mark x.com/BradK87287/sta… so dodgy.
