The decision, made by the health minister on Friday after parliament rose for a six-week adjournment, delighted doctors groups but has outraged Liberal and National backbenchers who favour legalisation of vaping. \u201cThis was all done without any consultation with the public or many government MPs including myself,\u201d he said on Facebook. The Liberal senator James Paterson told Guardian Australia his views \u201cremain unchanged\u201d. \u201cVaping is a safer alternative to smoking,\u201d he said. \u201cWe should be making it easier for smokers to quit, not harder. We should safely regulate vaping like virtually every other developed nation has done.\u201d The Nationals senator Matt Canavan described as \u201coverkill\u201d the move to impose fines \u201cfor importing what is in most countries a legal product\u201d.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>ARTICLE LINK:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/australia-news\/2020\/jun\/24\/coalition-mps-revolt-against-ban-on-people-importing-liquid-nicotine-for-vaping\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Coalition MPs revolt against ban on people importing liquid nicotine for vaping<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Reddit\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"VAPING%20NEWS%3A%20AUSTRALIA%20%5BMPs%20Disagree%20With%20Ban%5D\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Coalition MPs including George Christensen have revolted against Greg Hunt\u2019s unilateral decision to ban the personal importation of liquid nicotine for vaping from 1 July&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[147],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-vaping-news","wpcat-147-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21810"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21810\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21811,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21810\/revisions\/21811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
