Western Australia BAN the sale of all e-cig accessories and raid the house of Heavenlyvapour

[AnthonyB]

Heavenlyvapours, a vendor in Western Australia was raided by police following a ban of all sales of e-cig products. And consider this. E-cig vendors in Australia sell nic free liquid because the sale and distribution of nicotine is already banned in Australia. That means a vendor who was selling nicotine juice with NO nicotine and accessories was raided and is facing court sentencing in a few weeks!

Here are two links to the ban of e-cigs in Western Australia.

They are and do.

However, the FBI was careful not to say whether they believed Miller had knowingly broken any laws.

“SWAT Team” and Gibson Workers Henry Juszkiewicz, CEO of Gibson Guitar Corp states: “In two cases we had a SWAT team treating us like drug guys, come in and shut us down. With no notice. And, you know, that’s just wrong. I mean, we’re a business, we’re making guitars. Armed people in SWAT attire is just inappropriate.”

The Gibson case is atrocious. Not only for the action but the reason why.

How many people think 0mg eliquid will be ok?

...the judge determining that any e-cigarette product that involves ''a hand to mouth action'' and results in the ''expulsion of vapour'' does in fact resemble a tobacco product.

When I think about the well-demonstrated power of anti-smoking hysteria to turn otherwise free and democratic societies into fascist police states, the only word that comes to mind is "Orwellian."

Another word comes to mind for me. Oddly it also starts with an "O".

Here is a great website that summarises all the current legislation in individual nations around the world.

The U.K currently has the best system for vapers in which it is regulated but not restricted.

There's big companies losing money because they didn't invest in e-cigs themselves and now they're losing money and taking it out on any little guy they can. Don't think for one second any government will protect your rights or the law. They'll change the law and make an example out of you. The big oil companies simply eliminate those with energy solutions because they were self inventors, of whose names simply disappeared. But e-cigs spread a lot quicker before the governments could intervene. So now they have to deal with it by spending millions to change laws instead of thousands to do research to benefit society that they're suppose to represent. You are just a pawn my friend, and until the majority understands that, they will keep voting these people to represent us.

Of all the western democracies, we in the US have by far the worst track record as it pertains to any type of drug/alcohol/substance abuse policy. We are intrinsically unable as a society to wrap our heads around the concepts of reduced risk and harm reduction. All-or-nothing puritanism is still what informs our policymaking at the national level.

RUSSIA - Permitted.

Import, sale and use is permitted.

Some anti-tobacco legislation took effect this summer...

...there is no enforcement of any kind reported so far. All retailers are reported as continuing with business as usual.


It's tempting folks. I can be there in an hour. Perhaps after Putin is finished "saving" Ukraine he'll do the same for Alaska.

Careful. PV's are a felony. No enforcement doesn't mean safety. GreenPeace operatives were charged with felony drug posession for having PV's for nicotine. I don't know if they got that dropped (there are other charges from whatever else they were doing)

Ban the thing that looks like smoking so people won't smoke but still sell cigarettes so people will smoke? There is a major logical fallacy here but then again our lives are all dollar signs

 

[Freedombadeaux]

They are really hurting themselves! Do you really think any vaper will ever smoke cigarettes again after this crapola. Throw us out of vaping because you lost your little funds and you'll never see a dime again. Not only that but we will be on a crusade to get all people to quit cigarettes! "Don't play with me cause you're playin' with fire!"

 

[Freedombadeaux]

I am so ...... over this I am willing to go without as much as I can....They won't make a dime off me!

I've always believed we were an island for a damn good reason….(but no thanks to politicians on that one though)
