WE ARE A GROWING MOVEMENT OF VAPERS AND TOBACCO HARM REDUCTION EXPERTS WHO ARE PUSHING BACK ON NEW GOVERNMENT LAWS ON VAPING!

 

To be clear we are NOT a front group for anyone!

We are self-funded!

We are a grassroots movement!

We are the vapers of Australia!

 

Experienced vaper and tobacco harm reduction advocate Pippa Starr identified the need for Australian consumer vapers’ voices to be heard.

A growing number of adult vapers from diverse backgrounds across Australia are joining the ALIVE movement at a rapid rate!

This need was highlighted again during the recent senate inquiry into the Therapeutic Goods and Other Legislation Amendment (Vaping Reforms) Bill 2024, which passed with little to no consideration, let alone consultation, with the major stakeholders being the consumers!

We advocate for urgent change before the black market can get any worse than it is now. 

We understand that the government has lost sight of the target that they should be chasing regarding illicit vapes.

 

The government are claiming vaping is a new way that big tobacco is trying to enter the youth market, yet they are misguided and wrong! While we recognise that big tobacco has played awful games with Australians health in the past, the government must recognise that it is not big tobacco hooking another generation on nicotine, rather it is the black market.

The only big tobacco vapes available now are supported by the Australian Government TGA and are in chemists where pharmacists have made it well known that they really don’t want them there!

 

The ALIVE Movement understands that every plan executed by the government over the last ten years on vaping has failed.

We recognise the need for urgent law reforms but not like what we are seeing right now. 

We seek sensible, risk proportionate regulation where vaping products are legalised for retail sale in licenced vaping specialist stores. 

The pharmacists have rejected the new “last minute” government laws on vaping and they clearly don’t want any part of it!

The black market rose due to a lack of sensible risk proportionate regulations.

We want the firebombings and the supply of vapes to teens to stop.

The risk to teens from being coerced into crime by the black market is also a consequence of a lack of sensible regulation!
