 That was in NSW. They haven’t even cracked down yet which they will because this is driven by the government wanting to protect tobacco taxation. 

They’ll make examples of some randoms on the street vaping and raid some shops and you watch everyone fold like a cheap suit to the dictate of daddy government

 Yet I've got a medicinal license to 'vape' my medicinal cannabis. Contains the Propelene Glycol and Vegetable Glycerine all major vapes are known for containing too. Ridiculous.

Not that I don't want to quit nicotine, but I tend to do best at that game when I'm not forced to go cold turkey...

Saddens me that the cops feel the need to use force on a 13yo too. Weak as.
