Policy banning vape sales outside of pharmacies to go before Senate, health minister says
Policy banning vape sales outside of pharmacies to go before Senate, health minister says
What are people's thoughts here? I could understand removing all the lolly flavours and regulating like other tobacco products. I am an ex-smoker but I personally feel like this is govt over-reach. That might be an out-dated mindset of my time & generation (genX), however. So I'm interested to get some insight into how the broader population view this issue, particularly the younger generations, in both an overall opinion, but also in regards to such govt controls of recreational substances vs an individual's right of freedom to choose.

I agree that it will further worsen the black market surrounding these products (just as the exorbitant ciggie tax has increased the illegal import of cigarettes that are not regulated.) A bunch of businesses will basically be shut down because of this ... they can't exactly pivot to something else. If they wanted to sell cigarettes they would have been doing so already.

And that's a fair point to make but also one that now places Pharmacists in that role.
