Nicotine-based e-cigarettes escape prohibition that would have seen their import approved only with a doctor's prescription after Greg Hunt makes a last minute decision to delay the ban until the beginning of next year.

The Australian Health Protection Principal Committee, which has also been the key public health group consulting on Australia's response to the coronavirus pandemic, has warned of the dangers of vaping.

"Federal policymakers heard your voices causing the Health Minister to delay this deadly policy," Legalise Vaping Australia spokeswoman Emilie Dye said. He has pointed to other developed countries like the United Kingdom where there are no legal restrictions on vaping.

Like he delayed all the crap from mining in Queensland his approval as the worst environmental.minister Australia has had the misfortune to have Great Barrier reef started to decline in that area with the slag

I am certainly not Big Tobacco just a father, husband that vapes. Vaping has help me quit cigarettes and I am healthier for it. Have a closer look who is lining their pockets from Big Tobacco. Its the LNP, ALP,Greens. If they are that upset with Big Tobacco ban cigarettes.

Big tobacco is back in the game. They'll be breaking out the cigars after this victory. Hunt did the same on food star rating system and gov't as a whole in in cahoots with the gambling industry. Shockers.

what is the big fuzz? obviously tobacco growers r upset The more nicotine users there'd be more demand for tobacco Vaping causes lungs injury Nicotine patch is available So much fuss from Qld Nats about nothing

When Australia led the world. When Australia had conviction and pushed back on big tobacco 1 December 2012 Australia was the first country in the world to introduce plain packaging, with all packets sold from 1 December 2012 being sold in logo-free, drab dark brown packaging.

This story and the linked article conflate eLiquid vaping and heat not burn vaping for sensationalistism. They're are not synonymous. You need to research correctly. There will be complaints being submitted to Audience and Consumer Affairs regarding these editorial failures.

Ban it now. I don't want to walk through the disgusting cloud of rubbish in the street.

It gets so tedious being typecast as 'big tobacco' all the time. Why can't journalists just find some vapers to talk to? Apparently we're filling the world with huge clouds, can't be that hard to find

This is the first thing the government has done right in a long time......

HUNT = FUCKWIT

Framing a backlash from thousands of ordinary ex-smoking Australians as bIg TobAcCo is the height of dishonesty. DefundABC

They need the taxes $$$ aye yet funny enough they won't be mentioning labor LNPCrimeFamily

What of my favourite songs by Queen and Bowie. Under Pressure.

This helped me stop smoking after 40years and I don’t Vap now . Bad move health minister.

Religion ruins everything lately

'But in a statement today hunt said there 'was a group of people who have used these e-cigarettes with nicotine … to end their cigarette smoking' Should've done some research BEFORE rushing into a ban!! FOOL!!

The bright spark government that tells us glyphosate is SAFE & vaping is dangerous! BLOODY BACKWARD FOOLS!!!
