The major parties are facing an internal push for vaping to be legalised in Australia. A report by the McKell Institute has found Australia's ban on e-cigarettes is 'out of step' with other western nations.
Australia is one of 30 countries where battery-powered cigarettes, that vaporise flavoured nicotine, are illegal. A study from the University of Kansas has found battery-powered cigarettes could increase the risk of heart attacks, coronary artery disease and depression.
auspol Is 'push' ppl? or is it encouraged by large tobacco industry? Don't care if ppl want to vape but please not in public spaces! There R health concerns & vaping detrimentally affects Asthmatics & others with respiratory illnesses. Anyone should be able to do it at home.
auspol Please NOT public places! Asthmatics & ppl with respiratory & other illnesses Vaping still affects detrimentally. Is push by ppl or those selling tobacco? I Don't think any drug should be illegal 2 take but is a case 4 not vaping in public spaces. Do it at home is ok!
Rubbish, this is being peddled by the tobacco industry.
Why?
