Vaping is the best technology ever invented for people to stop smoking. Thousands have quit and probably had their lives saved by it. Vaping is also the biggest threat to the Government’s tobacco tax revenue. So what is the Government doing? Cracking down on it, of course.

• Government looking at banning most flavours of vape liquid, would only allow three
• First Nebraska death related to vaping illness reported to DHHS
• Clue found in vaping death mystery
• Teen who was put on life-support for vaping says 'I didn't think of myself as a smoker'

Labour's plan to make vaping less available isn't good for our freedom or our health. What's worse, every other party thinks it's a good idea. If you've got a spare moment, you can help ACT defeat this crazy policy by signing a petition that we'll present to Parliament

They’re planning to make a new law to:

• Ban flavours, even though 90 per cent of sales are flavoured

• Ban advertising, making it harder for people to find out there’s a safer alternative

• Ban vaping in smoke free areas

• Ban discounts of vaping products

They’re going to crack down on the safe alternative to tobacco as if it was tobacco. We wish we were making this up, but we’re not.

ACT stands for freedom. We're standing up for vaping because it’s the right thing to do. Vaping saves lives and, frankly, it is nobody's damn business if you want to do it.

ACT's sensible vaping regulation would

• Allow the market to provide innovative solutions to help people quit smoking, including a range of flavours and packaging.

• Let business owners decide whether vaping is allowed on their premises.

• Allow advertising, so that smokers are aware of alternatives.

• Create a tax incentive to quit by introducing only GST on vaping products and not excise duties.
