I don't understand how in Australia, everyone is worried about the negative health effects of vaping

can’t smoke a ciggy in the safe heroin injection room…

This is Australia..

If vaping was as destructive as hard drugs, people would/should be open to injection site equivalents for that. They're not as destructive tho

And the existence of these places isn't people not caring about negative effects. Any developed country should be cool with safe injection rooms. It's an overt example of people caring bc what's the alternative? People getting shit off the streets? And a war on drugs is not the solution either

Governments hate the vaping issue because they can't tax it.
There is only a trace element of nicotine in most vape juices. not enough to make it illegal to sell to kids.
Trading standards folk are running ragged because certain councils think they can licence vendors (make money out of it) and while they're doing that they aren't checking up on dodgy SHOPS selling illegal MEAT products !!!

Safe injection sites safe lives, protect public health and are more likely to get people into rehab.

people who complain about vaping are idiots

the main two main ingredients,

PG (Propylene glycol), widely used as solvent for food coloring and dyes, is the base for most medicinal products (i.e. cough syrup), and is also used in cosmetics

VG (Vegetable Glycerine), essentially vegetable oil, used as humectant, sweetener, and preservative in 99% of food and drinks; is the primary moisturizer in cosmetics/hygiene products

as for nicotine, for the small quantity used in vape liquids, it's far less toxic than the dozens of other chemicals you inhale on a daily basis (like the fumes from hot plastic/vinyl/rubber)

Pretty much anything and everything could be stated to have "negative health effects", even water, should we therefore ban its consumption in public areas? 🙄

I've heard the arguments regarding vaping and I think it's silly tbh. Yes, kids shouldn't vape, but they also shouldn't smoke, or drink, etc.

Most of the vapers I know, myself included, are former smokers. Thanks to vaping I quit cigarettes.

Same shit in California....although the Vapers and sellers from stores already ditch the Regulation.

Vaping is less harmful than smoking, but it’s still not safe

Besides nicotine, e-cigarettes can contain harmful and potentially harmful ingredients, including:
ultrafine particles that can be inhaled deep into the lungs.
flavorants such as diacetyl, a chemical linked to serious lung disease.
volatile organic compounds.
heavy metals, such as nickel, tin, and lead.
