Australia could well end up appearing on the blacklist of vapers. Indeed, for a few days on Twitter, a real call for a boycott has taken place and the reason for this is simple: The government is proposing to the population to denounce nicotine consumers.
FINE FOR POSSESSION OF NICOTINE EXCEEDS $ 9000
In the Australian state of Queensland, nicotine is illegal. It is illegal to sell it but also for a vaper to own or use it. And defying the ban can be very expensive, with the fine for possession of nicotine exceeding $ 9000. But not surprisingly, since possession of nicotine has been banned in Queensland since 1996.
THE GOVERNMENT OFFERS THE POPULATION TO MAKE DELETION
If the ban on possession of nicotine is already a real aberration in itself, the Australian government has gone even further by offering the population to make denunciation by a dedicated phone number (and available on the government website). The scandal spread following the tweet of an Australian named Jennifer Stone.

« This is Jenny, She got out of 30 years of smoking by switching to vape in March 2013. She can neither show her face nor her beliefs because it could jeopardize her job in social services »
THE MOST INCREASED ANTI-VAPE EXPERTS ARE IN AUSTRALIA
If Australia has declared that it wants to look into the e-cigarette case through a commission, it has also hired the most rabid anti-vape experts! Let us recall in passing that it was in Australia that an e-cigarette seller was prosecuted not long ago. Note that he has just lost on appeal, and that he now risks losing his house to pay the legal costs.
THE VAPOSPHERE RISES AGAINST AUSTRALIAN POLICY
.@AustraliaTouris @Queensland It begins. Your loss. Vapers travel to where they're welcome. That's not Australia. https://t.co/F63tpv7sta
