This is the choice of the state government, and it’s helping them to lose the election unfortunately.
You make vapes illegal you create a black market. You have a black market for one thing, why not throw tax free tabacco in there too.
Oh you need to be criminal to get some of this stuff… Well the other shops are doing it and booming! So now everyone has to.
Oh great, now you have thousands of low level crime networks in contact with kids… Some of the kids get hired to do some firebombing (fucking up on a generational scale now, no sense of normal work/life for them now).
All because the fucking state government wants to lose the election (and didn’t want the healthier option of vapes to be available)… And look at the polls, Labor are on track to lose federally:
