Australian ban; Egar illegal

[TheEmperorOfIceCream]

Terribly sorry to hear this. If it goes nationwide on you I suppose it's time to search the forum for the homemade juice tips. Good luck with the mail, Trumpy, but I expect you'll get a weasel reply, if any.

Thinking of you all

What about nicotine gums, inhalers and patches? Will those be banned as well?

I don't really get how this is any different than the nicotine inhaler. I read up on it today and besides the fact that it's ugly, it is described in much the same way as e-cigs. But those are Rx (here, anyway) so I wonder about that becoming an issue for us eventually.

If it comes down to it, I'll vape my favorite flavors and slap on a patch. I refuse to go back to smoking.

I'm sorry, you guys. This really sucks for you. I hope your voices are heard!

Very dissapointed with this news, the nanny state has decided that it's better for me to go back to smoking cigarettes once my supplies run out.

Condolences to my fellow Aussie e-smokers and Ed at www.ciggy.com.au - Electronic Ciggy one great guy and supplier.

It's such a pity since anyone with even a peanut brain would recognize that e-cigs are a much healthier alternative to smoking.

I can bet that this is the work of tobacco lobbyists!

Excellent point, and one for Trumpy to include in his mail. These products damn well contain nicotine for human consumption. Good foundation for repeal, or at least to show the ban is aimed solely at our devices.

No mention of e-cigs, just the nicotene...

unfortunately it is the nicotine in the e-cigs that brings it down .... maybe a point for retailers that they advise users should only use carts with no nicotine in them , maybe then they can at least move their remaining stock?... if not perhaps they would care to come onto this board and perhaps offer us aussies a private transaction... "Oh Hey Ed--- thats a pretty box I will give you $50 bucks for it "
" Well Gee Simon , thats generous of you , but it has 5 batteries and some atomisers in it, I would have no-where to store them if I took them out.... tell you what I will let you have them for free " :-)

Emp , unfortunately the gums , patches, et al are classified under the Therapeutics Goods Act , are funnily enough are taxed the same as tobacco products .... Imagine that !!
