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.

The whole point of a vape store was so people could pick or choose a vape / style and flavour and source their Nicotine for the E liquid.

Honestly this whole thing is another government scheme they could crack down on Alcohol but instead they went after the ciggies & vapes... what a joke lol The government is the only body profiteering off this
Drs need to be certified to prescribe Vapes. None are or very very few, I'm in Sydney I haven't found one yet. So I can't even buy vapes legally still. Black market for me
Vape in chemist is $100. 15 to milligrams of liquid.. no wonder government out after other outlets who sell vapes, they probably making 80. Of each vape sold at chemist.
I'd rather people vape around me than smoke cigarettes. There must be a lot more money in tobacco rhan vaping. It just goes to show how pharmacies are allowed to sell contraband products legally but anyone else that tries is a criminal. Do as we say, not as we do.
I am pharmacist in Australia. I also vape. You're absolutely right. However, this what we Aussies get for worshiping the wealthy and the powerful and never checking their powers and silencing or mocking anyone who does.
your very right, i got hooked on cigs when i was 14, and im using vapes to quit it all together, so far i cut back from a pack every 2 days to 3 puffs a day on my vape lmfao, 16 now hopefully should be clean soon@@ss-th9pf
It being funny is why it's serious, in jail the hardest addictions are in there but nothing makes them scream more than not having nicotine. People be proud of quitting meth but smoke/vape 24/7
Take the opportunity to quit, i went from darts to vapes then couldnt get one for a couple of days, so I took the opportunity to quit. Quitting vapes felt easier than the previous attempts at quiting smoking.
@kurteverson7632 I've tried. I'm only a light user now. It's the acting of smoking/vaping that is hard to break for me not the actual nicotine. Hopefully I can get nicotine free vapes as the next step to quitting
when you buy Cigarettes or Vapes you pay GST, and you can safely drive home,. you can buy drugs with no GST "Oh and we will test them for you to check if they are safe" and then because you are not quite with it and you drive home
It's funny.... Selling vapes is $200,000 but.... Selling heroin, ice , steroids or other hard drugs is a 3 month good behaviour bond...., hmmmmmm.
It's the same people selling them, currently vapes make more than any drug.
Funny as well, Drs need to be certified to prescribe Vapes. No Dr near me are lol!!!
So you can even get a prescription anyway
