It\u2019s the most successful smoking cessation tool so far and has been acknowledged so in the UK, France, and New Zealand, to name a few. Closing down vape shops will not only lead vapers to the black market in search of their preferred products but also prevent many smokers from quitting traditional cigarettes as they will struggle to find alternatives on the market. By restricting access to harm reduction tools while keeping traditional cigarettes on the market, the WA government is opening the doors to a public health disaster,\u201d said Landl.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vapingpost.com\/2022\/07\/29\/global-vape-groups-call-on-australian-govt-to-end-attack-on-legal-vape-businesses\/\">here<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A coalition of vape groups and tobacco harm reduction activists call on the Australian Department of Health to stop the current crackdown on legal vape businesses.
