I watched the @7NewsSydney Vape Debate moderated by @AmeliaBrace between (then) premier @Dom_Perrottet and (current) premier @ChrisMinnsMP with interest.

Buckle up. It's a 🧵 [Amelia] In New South Wales they're technically only available by prescription, but there's a booming Black Market trade out there.

@TGAgovau ran an inquiry into #nicotine #vaping. One of the questions was:
"In your opinion, will a requirement for a prescription help reduce uptake of nicotine delivery products such as nicotine e-cigarettes among youth?"
The phrase 'black market' ..
consultations.tga.gov.au/tga/copy-of-co… .. was mentioned in 194 of those submissions.

Herein is a thread of some of those submissions warning of a #BlackMarket willing to sell to anyone.
No age checks there!

Sigh.. Got caught up investigating and debunking the lies in this @truthinitiative ('Truth' 🙄) misinfographic.

The @ato_gov_au is hailing another big victory over #BlackMarket #tobacco in #Australia, via its mouthpiece @ABCaustralia.

Let's take a closer look..

Researchers at the University of South Carolina have been looking at Twitter again and decided harm reduction advocates are Big Tobacco shills or automated bots.

The Asia Pacific Conference on Tobacco or Health is excluding people who spoke at either @GFNicotine or @gtnf.
Well that counts me out! I presented a poster at #GFN19 and was a panel member at #GTNF20.

 Huh, it /is/ specifically about ending smoking though. A focused goal on the most harmful nicotine delivery mechanism, tobacco smoking..

@GregHuntMP / @TGAgovau pls note:
Reports are coming in that some batches of #varenicline (marketed as Champix or Chantix) have been recalled due to contamination with #nitrosamines.
[At low levels of - much lower than #cigarettes.]

 ema.europa.eu/en/news/suspen… #Israel has issued a recall on those batches of #varenicline as has #Greece, while #SouthKorea is conducting an ongoing investigation..
Hopefully our TGA in #Australia is aware of the problem and is investigating as well.

@LeemingLachie / @AngiraB_ / @dailytelegraph! In UR June 11th article 'Vape Craze, A Real Drag', @MauriceGSwanson is quoted as saying: "If you buy vaping pods, they say they don't contain nicotine but they do. I can bet you next week's salary that they have nicotine in them." 1/4 Well if by 'vaping pods' he means the sealed disposable vapes, I'll take him up on that bet.
One week of my income against one week of his salary. I could use the money! 2/4

People in #TobaccoControl often chant a mantra to the effect "#ThinkOfTheChildren!" Of course, children should be considered, & protected, but why not focus on the harm facing adult smokers? If they can #QuitSmoking by 40 years old (some say 35), they can avoid any serious health implications.

Senescent, sour, Sydney moonhowler @SimonChapman6 has been 'shaking his cane' at #tobacco shops for selling #vapes. Thing is, they are a 'highly addictive' **0%** #nicotine strength.

Hey .. one is even sour, so may be right up his alley.

How ya' like /them/ apples, Simon? 😏 As such.. it is not 'highly addictive', 'highly habituating', or even 'mildly habituating'.

I picked those two up in Sydney the other day at a tobacconist - who was proud to tell me they had no nicotine at all.

A thread to prove I'm not ONLY about advocating for Tobacco Harm Reduction for nicotine consumers.

I also get into photography & videos (mostly time-lapses), electronics & 3D printing.

For the first two, see my YouTube channel.
youtube.com/c/DrewTubeish/… For the latter two, here is a project I'm working on at the moment. It is a 3D printed box for electronics.

The thing is, I /could/ use a Jiffy Box (below), as U might buy from @JaycarAU.
But the problem is, they are a 'one size (OK 3) fits all' approach.

A number of people submitting to the #AusTHRInquiy2020 have expressed concern that their submissions have not yet appeared. This tweet thread is an analysis of the order and logic with which the submissions are appearing. My best advice is:
Don't Worry. Yours will appear soon. 1/ The image in the first tweet shows the list of submissions so far, which provide a date on the document. I am assuming the date on the document is on or close to, the date lodged. It is sorted by date, and the first column (#) shows that they do not appear in order. 2/

Putting together a spreadsheet of details about the submissions to the #AusTHRInquiry2020.
1st graph I've been able to create from the 195 submissions so far listed in the spreadsheet..

103 personal subs where age was stated or inferred / known(1).
Counts by decade..
1/3 1) Age could be inferred for some subs: e.g. "started smoking at 15, smoked for 30 years, switched to vaping 3 years ago" = 48 years old.
For one (my own), I did not list an age, as my submission was mostly for the 2.9 million ppl in #Australia who still #smoke #cigarettes.

What Skerrit is saying in regard to not bringing #tobacco under the prescription model is complete rubbish. The @TGAgovau site explicitly mentions novel #nicotine products - #SLT & #HTP. Huh.. @hollieahughes just said they're due to report by /18th/ December. I'd thought it was the 1st of December.

Fascinating (but not surprising) that MOST #ANTZ call out from their ECHO (Echo echo) chambers claiming to know what ALL #vape 'fans' think. So here's a tweet thread from a persons who #vapes and is a fan of #TobaccoHarmReduction, to clarify what ONE person in that group thinks.. Image I'm completely in favor of 'phasing out' combustible #cigarettes. #THR products like #vape, #snus & #HTP could do that in a decade or so if the moron #ANTZ (like Ruth) had not demonized #nicotine & currently .. 'fight' against alternative nicotine products.

Many countries regulate #eCigarettes. #SouthAfrica should too. By .@LauraRossouw
theconversation.com/many-countries… Following a long line of articles from #TobaccoControl types who completely fail to 'get' #TobaccoHarmReduction, @LauraRossouw chimes in to prove she can misunderstand it up with the 'best'.
So let's look at a brief overview of the article..
