Sadly this is true in Australia as well! Vapers are being stigmatised! Only yesterday a guy said while walking past me, “Have you seen how bad that vape stuff is on the news, you’d be better off smoking like the others!” He said this while pointing at the smokers in the smoking area that I am forced to share when vaping here (under law).Regardless most people on the street who vape know vaping is far safer than smoking despite what is on the news and the Govt misinformation ads. The Govt advice on vaping has become a laughing stock to most nicotine users! “So glad the Govt have caused a black market, I get change out of a $50 for 3 packs! Smokes haven’t been this affordable in years!”, a smoker confided with me last week.
