Australia E-cig Policy Research Project - vexed options on vaping regulation

[5150sick]

I have to say that I have been researching vaping and reading news stories about it since I started using the product to quit a 22 year pack and a half a day smoking habit in August of 2012.
I am fascinated by these devices (vaping products) so simple, yet so complicated at the same time.
These devices have saved my life (really, they did. read my unfinished bio) and I will fight to help others coming behind me to have the right to decide to switch from deadly combustible tobacco to at the very most a 1/10 as harmful vapor.
I apologize I have drifted from the issue. On to the article - 5150

This is fucking scary:

"One radical policy option is for the government to take over the retail market and sell e-cigarettes from its own monopoly outlets, a system Borland says could control consumption and give the government the upper hand over the pernicious industry.

“I proposed more than 10 years ago that what we should be doing with cigarettes is we should be taking them out of the hands of the for-profit companies,” he said."


The government would be selling the same cigalike junk product that don't work.

One flavor - shit would be the flavor because "what about the children" bullshit.

This would be a huge public health fail, just like NRT.

Boring products that are inferior will not make smokers switch.

No matter how much you try to force them to - 5150
