New Push to Legalise Vaping in Western Australia

 This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is oip.jpg

There’s a new push in Western Australia to overturn the state’s ban on the sale of e-cigs and vape gear. And this time the move comes from not just from vapers themselves, but a local politician and health professionals.

While you may see people vaping on Perth’s streets every day, the fact is they could face a fine of up to $45,000 for using an e-cigarette containing nicotine. And while it’s not illegal to vape without nicotine, the sale and supply of vape gear in Western Australia remains so.

The advocacy group Legalise Vaping Australia along with Australian Tobacco Harm Reduction Association (ATHRA) have enlisted the support of Liberal Democrats MP Aaron Stonehouse. Right now they’re on a mission to collect 50,000 signatures as part of a petition in support of the legislation of vaping which Mr Stonehouse will present to Parliament by the end of the year.

ATHRA director Dr Joe Kosterich has also lent his support to the campaign.  He recently told NINE News in WA that it’s important that vaping is legalised to help reduce the rates of smoking and the harm done through smoking.

“We know that two out of three smokers will die from smoking related illnesses,” he said.

“In this country we have the highest taxation and cigarette prices in the world and we’ve had plain packaging and yet there’s no decrease in the number of smokers between 2013 and 2016.  We used to lead the world, but now the UK, the US, the EU  and even Japan, are starting to go past us and the only difference is they’ve legalised vaping.  New Zealand, as of March this year has also legalised vaping.”

One (of legal age) can order nicotine free E-liquid from vapor store in Australia.
