Vaping Legislation RSA

http://www.702.co.za/articles/311314/is-vaping-an-answer-to-the-draft-tobacco-bill

Heard this on the radio this morning.

You have to commend AHRA and VPASA for all the interviews they do in the media. Some of them really are like talking to a wall.

They should have had the big gun, Dr Delon Human there. He would shut that CEO up in 5 seconds.

Thanks for sharing this @Adephi
The pity about this whole draft bill is that its packed with so many things
Not easy to talk about it in a short radio interview
But the doctor promoting harm reduction did well in the interview in my view
 
Found this link in a video of GrimmGreen, im not as knowledgeable on the legislation going on in SA as i should be but, can this be the situation? its a short video and entertaining!
 
Anybody on the inside got any news of what is happening with the proposed laws?

Seems like everything just gone quiet. Like its been swept under the rug.
 
It is to close to a general election . No new laws at this stage. If everything got approved it will only be affective after the new cabinet has been announced.
 
Exactly one year ago, the VPA posted this on FB:

How vaping in South Africa could create 10,000 jobs https://vapouround.co.uk/how-vaping-in-south-africa-could-…/
The e-cig industry in South Africa could generate 10,000 jobs over 10 years if allowed to prosper. The VPA has released an infographic demonstrating the positive impact vaping could have on employment.

[And we were worried about this! No-one had any idea of what the vaping industry in the USA and other countries would be facing just one year later. And this time next year???]
