Crud. So the government wants us to keep paying taxes via our analogue cigarette habit?

Hi peoples,

Just been reading this thread and most of the big one about the Aussie ban. Had a look at the baccy-free site and applaud the guys who set it up. Just wondering: Is there any momentum left in this movement, or has everyone sort of settled down into vaping in a grey area and crossing their fingers every time a package goes thru customs?

Anyway, I'm keen to help if there's anything to be done.

Hi there KiteStyle

Don't believe there's been any movement on that site since early 2009,haven't seen Trumpy or the others for some time now,so your second thought would be the right one.

According to some other threads the state of play is that posession of an e-cig with nicotine in it is an actionable offence. It would be kind of cool to get charged with posession and then mount a campaign based on that. Rope in some sympathetic people to help with the legals and media, take it to the populist media (Today Tonight etc, much as I hate them) and generally use the trial as a platform to get the word out and apply some pressure.

Not saying I'm going to rush down there, but I wonder if vaping in front of police HQ would get any interest from them?

If a cop gives me troubles the first thing I would tell them is I am not using nicotine.

Does anyone here watch 'Hungry Beast'?
If you do, you will know that they do a lot of funny stuff, but also some serious stories.
They looked at robots in the military, and a pedophiles side of the story.
Now I think if we all Googled 'Hungry Beast', find the 'Suggest a story' link and recommend they do a story on Vaping we could get some awareness into Australia.

You should post a thread for me. Because I can't do it.
