They’re reacting to Hanson.

Someone in this household just got on the federal program. It’s pretty cheap.

The e-cigarettes and pods last a long time. I have to raise the question why these (and the standards they manufacture under) weren’t just moved to tobacconists etc as replacement for disposable vapes and kept the doctors and pharmacists out if it entirely.

It’s that middle ground, that meeting in the middle somewhere, that the policy removed and agitated the black market we had. I look at these things, their price and the reaction of the said smoker to them and I really think we missed the boat here. I can’t see that cigarette smoker going back.

I feel that if done better, we might have had a better outcome. However we might feel personally about the policy, we can see by how Hanson has played it that it’s a weak spot. Of course, Labor can’t manoeuvre can they, because they need to have a caucus chat about what they’ll decide where Hanson will just say shit people want to hear.

Anyway, I can certainly recommend the product of the government program.
