Australia's tough new vaping laws have come into effect, which means no more vapes, right? We sent off our very own Sam Taunton and Michael Hing to test out how strict these new rules are. #VapeCrackdown #Vapes #VapeLaws

I tried to quit smoking so many times, I tried Champix, patches, gum and the spray, and every combination of these methods and nothing worked. Smoking controlled my life, and sure, vaping does too, but I don't cough constantly anymore, I have more energy and I'm not spending $45 a day. I genuinely can't believe that I can go to any servo to buy cigarettes, but I can't buy a vape. Force me to quit, I might even appreciate it, but ban both, because I know I'll be running to the nearest 7/11 as soon as my last vape runs out

Arn't vapes are an option to try and get off cigarettes and break the smoking habit just like nicotine gum and sprays? If the government was serious about health, they should ban ridiculously adictive and toxic cigarettes. Instead of continually jacking up the price on siggys where the poor schmucks who they hooked on them 70 years ago, in cahoots with big tabacco now find it near impossible to get off of them. Smoking addiction is an illness, and the poor and addicted are an easy target for government revenue.

Disposable vapes were a cheaper alternative but still worked... this is ridiculous that Pharmacies / Chemist Warehouse is now going to sell them and it wouldnt surprise me if its Prescription based...
