Thank you @TammyTyrrell_ for your common sense, compassion & pragmatism re vaping. No one has as yet been able to explain why low risk vapes are severely restricted in Australia while deadly cigarettes are readily available. Completely nuts @SenatorJordon @AdamBandt @LivePippas
Dr Colin Mendelsohn@ColinMendelsohn

Common sense from independent Tasmanian Senator @TammyTyrrell_ about vaping It makes no sense to effectively ban #vaping when cigarettes are freely available - Vapes save lives - Bans lead to more smoking and black markets Via @themercurycomau @MsMarielleSmith @AUSenator @KovacicMaria @SenatorJordon @Louise_Pratt @RossCadell

Simon, that would be only a relevent statement if vapes were tobacco products, but they are not! Tarring vapes with the same cancer causing tar found in combustible tobacco only makes one look uneducated and silly! "There is no good evidence that vapes cause cancer" said the CEO of the Cancer council yesterday! Is she lying?

Did this chimpanzee not learn anything from yesterday’s enquiry? You were told that you are irrelevant and were pulled up on everything you said. You need to sit down and shut up.

@AlexWodak Nicotine vapes don’t have to be odorless at all bc if u train a dog to sniff out nicotine then you’ll have to search every container that someone has smoked in

Want to stop most/all illegal vapes entering Australia? How when arriving in Australia/year: ➡️ 7.8 million containers but inspection capacity only 100,800? ➡️billions parcels? ➡️27,000 km coastline mostly deserted? ➡️nicotine vapes odourless? 1/2

@cdoug @FDATobacco Disposables ARE now the most "popular" vapes with US teen vapers. The 2023 NYTS shows: 7.7% use nicotine vapes “at least once in the past month” 35% use them frequently, so may routinely buy products = 2.7% 60.7% of THOSE use disposables = 1.6% of teens

@swimdaily @ColinMendelsohn Response from my nephew in OZ:. “My GP declined my request for a vape prescription stating that she believes they are as bad as tobacco. So I buy black market vapes still. Vapes have helped me - last tobacco cig was August 2022. We could use the NZ model here definitely 💯

Deeply upsetting that former long-standing public health colleagues now happily engage in wholesale sophistry & any unscrupulous tactic they think might work to attack tobacco harm reduction
Charles A. Gardner, PhD@ChaunceyGardner

Old-school tobacco control's Newspeak: Harm reduction = "industry interference" Liquid aerosol = "smoke" Tobacco-free products = "tobacco products" Artificial tobacco flavor = "unflavored" 1.9% daily use = "whole new generation addicted" 61% drop in use = "epidemic"

You do not need an EasyVote Card to vote. You do not even need to be enrolled and you do not need to take identification with you when you go to vote. If you are a NZer over the age of 18, just show up to a polling booth and you will be able to vote. #nzpol

@SeedTheChangeNZ @top_nz But why would you want to align to a policy that slows down the rate of cigarette smoking and makes it harder for cigarette smokers (mostly poor already) to access cheaper, safer alternatives?! I just don’t get it! Instead, RAISE LEGAL AGE TO 21 AND ENFORCE CURRENT LEGISLATION!

Not quite enough! a modest addition to current tobacco control measures. #Vaping as an alternative way of accessing nicotine, works too! One third decline in smoking in NZ in past 2 years suggests Smokefree 2025 goal will be reached.⁦@ASHNZ2025⁩ a theguardian.com/society/2023/a…
