The issue

An Estimated 500 thousand people in Australia use vapes to help keep them from smoking cancer causing cigarettes. However this is being banned as it is a "public health threat" most likely due to the fact it is not taxed. This is going to force a large number of those 500 thousand people to go to the black market for the chance at harm reduction. If this becomes Australia's vape market fake copies of popular brands will take over and this could lead to dangerous chemicals being inhaled which a lot of causes permanent damage. Genuine vapes are mostly vegetable glycerin as well as propylene glycol which haven't seem to have killed the general population inhaling it on a daily basis. Although with the future holding the black market instead in which vapes notoriously contain poisons. By no means am I a doctor nor can I give medical advice but it's a choice between the lesser of the 2 evils here and the government seems to have the wrong idea in mind. It's our peoples lives here not some political game.
