According to the Australian Medical Association (AMA), the National Party’s position on vaping shows a complete disregard for the health of Australians including school children. In a letter to Nationals leader David Littleproud, AMA President Professor Steve Robson denounced the party’s position on vapes, and called on the party to cut the cord with its BIG TOBACCO DONORS. Before announcing their "vaping policy" The Nation Party received a $55,000 donation from British American Tobacco. The sizeable donation came at a time in 2023 when the Federal Government announced that significant tobacco and vaping control measures would be introduced into the Australia parliament. One can see why the National Party would oppose tougher laws, it's in bed with the peddlers and profiteers of the tobacco/vape industry, no question about it!

Now at epidemic proportions, particularly among school children, vaping is another deadly form of nicotine addiction, a drug addiction the National Party seems happy to see continue.

The hard right of the National Party is screaming blue murder, as government laws passed through the Senate with GREENS support, nothing from the Noalition, laws ordering Kiddy Vape Shops to be closed by next Monday. I'm sure Matt Canavan is disgusted!

Meanwhile, Young Dutton is getting his face on social media holding a bag of white powder in a Gold Coast unit, seem it was a birthday present? How strange. Previously Peter Dutton has called for 2 years jail for anyone displaying such images on social media. Still making that call Pete?

Hi Paul,

Doctors caring for adolescent patients have been interviewed on
in the media asking for stronger laws. They
are realizing the
health hazards associated with vaping and are looking
for ways to fight this epidemic.

The general consensus appears to be that - We need more laws
to prohibit the importation, domestic manufacture,
supply, commercial possession, and prohibit advertising of non-
therapeutic and disposable vaping goods.

Stronger laws are necessary.

I am disgusted by this practice.
It is also definitely unhealthy.
Yet others may be just as disgusted by my own lifestyle.

I can pray for their souls and health,
I can pray for them to understand and reform their ways,
but I have no right to order them what to do or not to do,
nor to appoint representatives who would do that dirty job on my behalf.

I'm not interested in vaping.
People sometime try to get me to try it but I'm not keen.
I don't care for this fancy flavored fad.
I think theres probably more nicotine in vapes than cigarettes.

Dutton son.
I really liked that hypocricy.
Dutton wants 2 years jail for other peoples kids but he tells us that this is a 'private family matter'.

Beyond that, I'm not sure I blame the kid for taking drugs when his Dad is Peter Dutton.
I class Duttons kid as potential automatic high risk of drug use, just for being Duttons son.

I think we do need laws to protect our children.
The warnings of doctors who have to deal with
vaping in adolescents as patients should be listened
to, and action needs to be taken. That's why laws exist
in civilised societies.
