Lie. A damaging lie that keeps people smoking.

If you choose to experiment with / use nicotine. Choose your delivery mechanism wisely.

Nah..no way..must be imagining it ;) NZ deserved the 'prize' they got.

It may interest you - the other week I had to fast for a blood test (no caffeine, nicotine, only water). Mixed up a bottle of 0 nic liquid. Was (very) surprised that I had no withdrawals after 22 hours without nic. I am usually on 10mg (neither high or low).

If all the genuine vape stores weren't forcibly closed down perhaps more users wouldn't have to resort to admittedly inferior (but still vastly safer than smoking) disposable product

After all these years (and even after they got their way) they're still pumping out the same fearmongering. Was once used to raise public support for desired prohibition policy, now used to cover-up/distract from same failed policy.

Too much of a disturbance for her a$$ured career path. I truly believe this will change. When the WHO changes tact, they (the usual suspects) will as well. WHO look like fools for awarding dirty ashtray to NZ.

They'll fight tooth and nail to never admit policy failure. You can here it here plain and simple as they gang up on the only person (Theo) offering an alternate point of view www.abc.net.au/listen/progr... This is what they did to Colin (and you Alex) repeatedly.

The usual lot spruiking for next round of funding Alex. Sounds cynical, but is it ?

Maybe when WHO accepts the HR in THR. Some were richly rewarded for their paid efforts to demonise it

Maybe the question to ask. 'Are seat belts and airbags an emerged threat to public health ecosystem funding and grants'.

Surely more 'enforcement' fix this, worked so well in past.

Reason why a bit of a sore point is that over the years (I've seen) its been used to lazily discredit anything Alex/Colin states in various media articles, interviews and reviews. Always used to head up good ol' smearing. Another reason why we're in such a bad state here in AU when it comes to THR

Simon in deep denial that the black market in tobacco (and now vapes) he helped create will be thwarted. Fantasy land.

I'm talking illicit supply. As a smoker you'd have to be a mug to buy legal with wide availability. My friend she walks in and is greeted with a smile and is asked 'how many packs do you want'. $12 each.

It's way cheaper to smoke now than 14 years ago when I switched to vaping. Back then it was $15/$16 a packet (2011). Too late, they'd never beat black market prices even if they took off the tax, but I reckon less people would buy BM even if $20 legal pack price.

Demonization = profit/assurance of funding.

The black market looks after the smokers seeking to reduce harm to themselves and ultimately their family. What a strange state of affairs created by government policy whereby reliance upon criminal gangs held in higher esteem than elected government. 🤡

This is great news. Seems to be ongoing success for a number of years now.

Doesn't stop them from declaring that it is 'dangerous'
September 5, 2025 at 10:30 AM
Cmon. Such a bunch of lies. Vaping doesn't kill, smoking does. If you put people off vaping with lies, they might continue to smoke.
