Now It Makes Sense The Daily Aus

As we dive a bit deeper, to examine the forces trying to legalise vaping, we uncover the role Big Tobacco has to play. So why do companies which traditionally have made their money from selling cigarettes, want vapes to be more readily available? And will the Government be able to push through with their reforms, with a force like Big Tobacco working against them?

We’ve known for some time that buying nicotine vapes over the counter has been illegal. So why are they still so easy to buy? And what’s slowed down progress on regulation? In Episode  Two we’ll look at the legal loopholes vape manufacturers have been using to keep their vapes on the shelves. We also head to Parliament House to hear from those trying to crack down on vapes, and those trying to get them legalised.

In Episode One of TDA’s Understanding Vapes series, we’re going to go from the local tobacconist to the lab and speak to some of the most knowledgeable experts in the country to learn just how dangerous vaping can be.
