"An E cigarette is at present a regulated poison in Qld and is a breach of the H(D&P)R to obtain, possess, use, sell etc. An inspector under the Act/Regulation has the authority to investigate a person who may be in possession of an E cigarette and seize same. Legal proceedings may also be instituted."

So how does this affect your ability to use 'personal vaporizers' with 0 nic liquids? It seems they are tying them in to nicotine delivery.

It seems that in the Australian State of Queensland at least that QLD Health have found that even use and posession are illegal. Due to them saying that they are a dispenser of a "regulated poison".

Any ideas on how we can fight this? As you may have read in my other posts, not only the sale, but now the use and posession of an e-cigarette is illegal in QLD due to the wisdom of QLD Health.

I just cant enjoy a vape outdoors now, as Im constantly on guard looking for police etc.

Something really needs to be done before other states follow suit.

I guess it might be wiser to get hold of (or make) 'uncommon shapes' for your vaporizers too. Perhaps go the route of making them look as much as possible like asthma-inhalers? And perhaps use, at least out of doors, the original Ruyan-liquid, so hardly any or no smoke is to be seen?
Really sad... hope some higher-ups see how stupid they are acting real soon...

as I understand the law and the ban

the e-liquid containing nicotine is banned
if an e-cig or a cartridge contains nicotine it is banned

the devices themselves are not banned.

I'm sure that isnt true. Surely there IS something we can do about it? Write to the local member maybe?

Fellow Brisbanite here. I only discovered e cigs this week. I'm getting them for my mum, who has been a very heavy smoker all of her life, who had a heart attack last year, and who I am very very lucky to still have after her making it through the night when the doctors said she wouldnt.

I personally will be looking at getting some for my dad as well, and if they are better than nicotine patches or inhalers, then i will be a talking billboard and will be converting as many people as I can.
