There are news reports that Australia is losing the public health battle against vaping.
Well, any stroll outside an office block could tell you that.
Scores of young people are regularly being seen puffing away, just a handful of years after smoking outside seemed to be almost extinct.
I’m so old I remember when people smoked inside, even in the office, and I never want to go back to that.
The push is on to regulate them in a similar way to cigarettes and decrease the nicotine concentration.
Doctors are also asking for the flavours to be removed from the vapes, which are especially popular with young people.
Seems like a good idea to me. Australia has spent millions weaning people off cigarettes because of the health implications, only to have vaping come in under the radar.
Do you think there should be more regulations for vaping?
YES definitely,
It’s also sounds like it’s more harmful in many ways because of the unregulated chemicals added .
Vaping is trendy and attracts younger people into addiction.
Tho companies selling vapes should be controlled by the same laws as tobacco companies .
The packaging of there products should carry the warning. Smoking kills. Smoking causes cancer.
yes definitely
yes it should be the same as for smokers
