Comment on Policy banning vape sales outside of pharmacies to go before Senate, health minister says
Sarsaparilla@aussie.zone 3 months agoI agree that it will further worsen the black market surrounding these products (just as the exorbitant ciggie tax has increased the illegal import of cigarettes that are not regulated.) A bunch of businesses will basically be shut down because of this … they can’t exactly pivot to something else. If they wanted to sell cigarettes they would have been doing so already.

It’s a damn shame too - I don’t know what we’ll do without all those businesses built around exploiting drug addicts

And that’s a fair point to make but also one that now places Pharmacists in that role.

Not exactly, as they won’t be promoting the vapes as they’ll be plainly packaged and they’ll be heavily regulated. They will still profit but not encouraging it
