Organized crime is thriving. Public trust is collapsing. Adults are criminalized for quitting cigarettes the wrong way. And yet the official narrative repeats: “We are protecting public health.”

history will record this moment as one of the greatest public health betrayals of the 21st century. They aren’t “protecting the public from harm”. They are protecting themselves from being proven wrong, while people continue to die in numbers they refuse to count.

the cost of refusing harm reduction is now being paid in blood, tax revenue, community safety, and lost social trust. The evidence is in. Prohibition failed.

250 tobacco and vape war firebombings since 2023.Yesterday alone, two more tobacconists were torched, one in Edwardstown, South Australia, and another in Flinders Park, Hindmarsh, the electorate of none other than Federal Health Minister Mark Butler.

Vaping is at least 3 times more effective in keeping smokers away from smoking than any other big pharma product!

Despite record cigarette taxes, despite border crackdowns, despite prohibition-style vaping laws, more nicotine was consumed in the past year than eight years ago.

Calling vaping “tobacco” is like calling a seatbelt “a car crash.” It ignores the very reason the technology exists: to reduce harm.

the truth is out: government health messaging has been misleading, ideologically driven, and deadly.

rather than fund innovation or scale up proven harm-reduction strategies, the government throws taxpayer money at an organisation that will continue defending the status quo, one that is failing.

The number of vapes sold in Australia may be significantly higher than 10 million per month, despite recent efforts by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) to clarify reports on the scale of the black market.

Mark Butler likes to say he "won’t raise the white flag" in his war on vaping, but let’s be honest: this war is already lost.

In all the drug wars and everything we've had in Australian history, we have not seen a bigger debacle than this. The black market has taken over

It's just another case of bandwagon riding and virtue signalling mumpsimus's who just happen to benefit from a history of funding from deaths of smokers

If you’re a vaper, a former smoker, or someone who supports harm reduction, now is the time to act

It is with immense pride and emotion that we announce the very first presentation of the Colin Mendelson Medal, a tribute that means more than words can express, and one that we hope will continue to inspire generations of advocates to come.

our frontline health professionals are ill-equipped to carry out Mark Butler's chemist-based vaping policy.

Mark Butler's vaping policy could be killing Australians by turning them back to smoking! The annual death toll has now grown to 24000 Aus
