All I'm saying is that there have been zero cases of popcorn lung caused by vaping.

Are you thinking about the lung condition known as EVALI? This was caused by vaping black market THC cartridges, containing vitamin E acetate. It was never caused by vaping nicotine in legal products. 🙂

If the diagnosis was popcorn lung from vaping nicotine, I'd be looking for a new Doctor.

Research popcorn lung.

The only cases were for workers in popcorn factories.

There has never been a case of popcorn lung caused by vaping nicotine.

Please name one person who got it it from vaping nicotine.

Piss-poor photoshop job. 🤣🤣

It's a bit like Elbow's crap job as pm and fake news about vaping nicotine being harmful.

Tobacco control advocates often cite unrelated, harmful products in the hope of vilifying vaping solely by association. 😂😂😂

Vaping saves lives!

Flavored E-Cigarette Sales Restrictions and Young Adult Tobacco Use This quasi-experimental survey study evaluates the association of restrictions on flavored electronic nicotine delivery systems with vaping and cigarette smoking among 18- to 29-year-old individuals i...

Reseach indicates that a reduction in flavoured vape sales may increase cigarettes smoking in young adults.

Pretty soon, vapers will be dying of old age.

You are saying i work for big tobacco by saying im an industry spruiker? I've denied any involvement.

Be careful how you answer

They sell lots of stuff made by pmi, plus products you could buy from vape stores before, only at double the price.

Not to mention that the pharmacy model has failed because virtually no pharmacies sell them. Labor FAIL!

Once again.. who specifically is 'industry'?

Pharmacies don't sell tobacco, nor any kind of smoking products.

Why don't you focus on the complete ban of cigarettes? They are the products that kill over 20,000 Australians per year.

Vaping saves lives, which would otherwise be lost from smoking cigarettes.

When you say 'industry', can you be specific with business names?

Which big businesses are targeting Australian children with flavoured vape products?

Tell me so I can take your assertions directly to them for comment.

I hope you only eat tobacco flavoured steak, mint flavoured wine, and menthol flavoured coffee. Any other flavours are clearly targeting children.

NZ is not playing catch-up. They are far ahead of us in matters of harm reduction and public health.

Without credibility and respect, an academic may as well be an armchair conspiracy nutjob.

There's nothing wrong with being educated. What is wrong is making biased generalist claims and not being able to verify them.

This lays waste to credibility and reputation for anything said in the past or future.

Only ones are the TGA approved ones. Government approved!

No, stop deflecting and answer my question.

Are you scared to be specific?

Are you worried about losing credibility and the respect of your peers?

Stop avoiding all my earlier questions and be specific. You make slanderous claims. However, you cover your arse by using general terms like big tobacco.

Which big tobacco/industry companies do you claim are behind illegal vape sales to Australian children?

You're not so tough now, huh? 😂

No coughing for me, either. It's almost like it is (I'm just guessing here) 95%+ less harmful than cigarettes.

Let me know when you find a pharmacy selling over the counter vape devices. Talk about failed Labor polices!

That's not what the video says. The video gives some helpful tips on ways to adjust your vaping if you do have minor irritations.

Thanks for the pro-tips.

Dr Tahir, please answer the question i keep asking.

Which companies do you specifically mean when you use the terms 'industry' and 'big tobacco'?

Only about 1 in 300 physical pharmacies dispense over the counter.

It is an unfortunate, but not unexpected, failure of government policy.

Wow, that's not particularly nice.

I work in I.T, and never had any involvement with tobacco or nicotine related entities.

I support bans and enforcement for any illicit disposables or sales of any nicotine products to kids.

Please name the specific big tobacco companies you alluded to earlier.

Only if you leave information technology and access control measures to those who understand it.

We agree that illicit vapes are bad for everyone. At least we have that. 😂

Do you consider cigarettes and nicotine vaping (pharmacy supplied) to have the same level of harm?
