      @GidMK @FergusMason1 aren't ecigs banned in Aus anyway? No worries then, eh? No black market to content with

      @mihotep @FergusMason1 Actually they could be registered with the TGA (as a theraputic good) if there is sufficient evidence of safety.

      @mihotep @FergusMason1 Sadly the evidence is mostly lacking. No-one can prove that they aren't harmful.

      .@GidMK @FergusMason1 sadly, the overwhelming evidence #ecigs are safe & effective gets ignored in Aus https://www.gov.uk/government/news/e-cigarettes-an-emerging-public-health-consensus … Why?

      @mihotep @FergusMason1 And no applications to list them have been made to the TGA because no one wants them as a theraputic good.

      @GidMK @mihotep @FergusMason1 They aren't a therapeutic good, they are a consumer product that is a safer alternative than smoking tobacco.

      @BigVapingNunga @mihotep @FergusMason1 An aid for smoking cessation here is by definition a theraputic good.

      @GidMK @mihotep @FergusMason1 That may be, but vapourisers are not an aid for smoking cessation, and NOT a therapeutic good.

      @BigVapingNunga @mihotep @FergusMason1 If they aren't a cessation aid then probably not allowed in aus because of nicotine harms.

      @BigVapingNunga @mihotep @FergusMason1 Lethal dose of nicotine 500-1000mg ecigs often contain 100mg+ of nicotine.
