Why Is There So Much Fuss For Vaping in Aussie Lawmakers?

January 23, 2021 /MarketersMedia/ —

The Federal Government office of Drug Control in Australia made an important announcement. It has imposed a number of crucial changes regarding the import of E-Cigarette fluid in the country.

According to the new amendment, patrons of the Australian vaping industry will no longer get permission to import nicotine-containing fluids for use in E-Cigarettes. The ruling holds good for cases where a prescription for the consumption of such things is produced.

The amendment will be enforced from 01.01.2021.

The new Rule

The new ruling states that E-Cigarette users will have to produce the doctor who has prescribed them to use Nicotine-contained vaping liquid. The doctor must be willing and able to import the contents on behalf of their clients.

It implies that the doctor has the necessary permit to import nicotine for healing measures.

Consequences

Senator Matthew Canavan and MP George Christensen have decided to launch rebellious action upon this unprecedented attack on consumers of vapour liquid Australia.

Their joint mission has decided to file a petition urging reconsideration of such banning.

The Legalise Vaping Australia, another organization, has decided to support the cause of such a petition. It has declared fighting against the power-grabbing attitude of the health minister Greg Hunt.

In retaliation to the effect, Legalise Vaping Policy Director, Emile Dye has pointed out that such repercussion is a natural reaction against decree from persons in power. She has also argued that Senator Matthew Canavan and MP George Christensen are doing the right thing to save the lives of thousands of Aussie people.

It is also said that vaping is scientific and is always better than tobacco inhaling. People in Australia are accustomed to a smoke-free healthy lifestyle.

Australian vapers are concerned about the evil effect of smoking. Besides causing injuries to personal health, it affects non-smokers aside too. Consuming nicotine through the liquid is entirely a personal choice. Any attempt to regulate such a habit would mean interference with personal rights.

Therefore, Legalise Vaping Australia has called civic Australians to join Senator Canavan and George Christensen MP by signing over the joint petition.

Probable intention for implementing the rules

Reason 1

The Government is concerned with the increased use of E-cigarettes among school students in the USA. It has feared that if the school-goers in the country become addicted to vapor Australia consumption, it may pave the way for paranoid smoking. The national health indicator will show a negative impulse.

Reason 2

The government has also pointed out the cases of nicotine poisonings in the country since the previous few years.

For the reference frame, the circulation has also mentioned the death of a toddler in the Victoria province back in 2018.

The main reason for framing the amendment was to keep the budding generation away from smoking. Restricting vaping in Australia will rather impact those who consume E-Cigarettes as an alternative to smoking.

The toddler had died by using highly concentrated imported nicotine-containing fluid. It is a unique case that is found seldom. Generalizing a rare case means injustice to the mass.

Therefore, I feel that the Australian Government must reconsider the new law and withdraw it.
