Health Improvements Lost Due To Public Health Policy on Vaping - Vaping Consumer

I started vaping at the beginning of Covid19 lockdown in Victoria. As I live in a rural area there are no vape stores locally so everything had to be purchased through internet suppliers. I very quickly began learning all I could until I was using nothing but rebuildable hardware and mixing my own juice. My favourite flavour being cola. I ordered nicotine through reputable labs only, even after a prescription was required. I have never used disposable vapes as I feel they are wasteful and only add to landfill.


I saved a lot of money this way. I also have had vast improvements in my health over those years. These improvements have now been lost because the latest government regulation on vaping has forced me back to tobacco.


It has been suggested that this current round of vape regulations are out of concern for public health. If that were the case then there would not be a single tobacco products on any Australian shelf. However prohibition has been shown to fail.


Therefore instead of banning vaping and locking out the free choice of adults in this country it would be far wiser and effective to support vaping as a viable alternative to smoking tobacco. Adults who chose to partake need to have the choice.


Providing sales licencing regulations, with actual punishment for breaking them, allowing for hardware, juice, and nicotine for purchase from Australian suppliers would be far easier to oversee than driving the vape market underground as is the current direction.
