'Many Gen Zers - those born from the late 1990s to the early 2010s - were against the ban as an assault on personal freedoms. They also revealed their concerns about vaping and its increasing popularity among children - an issue that the bill does tackle.' msn.com/en-au/news/aus…

There are now 1,958 sponsored passholders who have 24/7 access to Parliament House - and we aren't allowed to know who they are.

No checks on which organisations are sending lobbyists into the building, and nothing preventing tobacco lobbyists from getting their hands on a pass.

You send me this link and at the same time say that big tobacco's dominance of the ecig market is 'empirically false'? Pic attached because you obviously cannot read.

'Low-hanging fruit – the case for removing tobacco vending machines.' If you want to reduce smoking prevalence, you reduce the number of places people can access cigarettes. Its really a no-brainer. intouchpublichealth.net.au/calling-time-o…

'If a person overshoots their tolerance of THC, cannabis can induce anxiety rather than relieve it.' Another case of finding a drug to relieve negative consequences caused by other drugs. Or you could just avoid use? medscape.com/viewarticle/ca…

I doubt there would be any reason to call it tobacco if the only active ingredient -nicotine- was taken out. No fear of that from big tobacco and their thedrinksbusiness.com/2024/04/vinita…

This is why the world-first legislation and leadership from Mark Butler MP is so important and urgent.

It’s also why Victoria’s new licensing scheme is great news for the health of young people across our state.

Leadership matters. There’s no time to waste.

The debate between industry advocates and health advocates in a nutshell. To them it's all about them. To us, its all about the kids. Sourcing from a pharmacy is not that hard, but they want the profits for themselves.

So much for ecig advocates false narrative that ecigs are designed to help older smokers quit. We knew it was always about the young.
