This has my full support. (I don't smoke and have never vaped.) On my way to sign it now.

And you know my politics.

PS: Matt Canavan and George Christensen are two of the worst a-holes ever seen in Australian politics. But even a stopped clock is right sometimes. I signed it.

Yeah, I’m with you, Stui. Seems like nanny statism and a move lacking in common sense. Obviously I understand concerns that it could be a way for people to get addicted without the financial deterrent of cigarettes, but surely we know by now that bans aren’t an effective way of dealing with this stuff.

Cheers David and Tannin

Yep Stui signed from J’s post - ridiculous policy!!!

Vaping was a huge step forward, immediately improving life for non-smokers, let alone smokers themselves. Risking those gains is idiotic. Good petition.

I want it banned. We need vaping like we need CornaVirus and cigarettes

[pietillidie]

^Yes, but it's a classic vice. Wouldn't the more effective path be to lessen the evils of vaping over time?

I think it's better to be rid of the nicotine addiction, overall, but don't you believe it is better for someone to vape than smoke, if they are aren't managing to give up?

Nope. Vaping is also damaging.

[Tannin]

^ Vastly less so to the user, and enormously less so to all others. What do you have against doing vastly less damage?

If you don't like vaping, then don't vape. Stop begging big daddy Government to ban things you don't like, because eventually they'll ban things you do.

Personally I think vaping is horrible and people doing it look like tools but I signed the petition because tools should have the freedom to be tools if they want.
