SHOULD NZ BAN VAPING
Here is a poll we can all relate to, one way or another.
Should NZ Govt ban vaping on its shores?
YES
NO
MAYBE
Vaping was suppose to be a transitional tool to get converted cigarette smokers unconverted from smoking anything except what's on the barbecue.
But, just like we were warned, vaping is almost as bad a killing and health damaging addiction pleasure, as is the fag. And with young people taking it up, worse.
Here is what they are about to do in brotherly Australia: Ban the importation of non-prescription vaping products including those that do not contain nicotine. Min quality standards for vapes will be introduced including restricting flavours, colours and other ingredients. Vape products will require chemist-like packaging and the allowed nicotine concentrations and volumes will be reduced. All single-use disposable vapes will be banned and only pharmacies will be able to stock and sell the product.
Obviously we will follow. I would like though to see all vapes gone.
NZ has this thing kind of hanging around its neck: to be a smoke-free country by 2025. It won't happen especially under a National-ACT coalition Govt. But by allowing vaping in the air, it will be harder to contain and place further restrictions on cig smoking.
Second hand vaping can harm people and animals (and the environment) almost as much as second hand cigarette smoking. Upper Hutt has smoke-free regulations for all its parks. Will the council extend this to vaping if it hasn't already or just wait until vaping is outlawed going the way or even further than the Aussies?
Poll: Would you rather: Christmas in summer forever or winter forever?
Just a bit of a fun poll to get you thinking.
If you had to live out your Christmas days, would you prefer it was a summer Christmas or a winter Christmas?
-
63% Summer
-
35.6% Winter
-
1.4% Other - I'll share below
What word sums up 2024, neighbours?
If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....
In one word, how would you define 2024?
We're excited to see what you come up with!
New Year, Same Brain Teasers!
A man was found dead with a cassette recorder in one hand and a gun in the other.
When the police pressed “play,” the tape said, “I can’t go on,” and then there was a gunshot.
Yet, the police knew it was a murder.
How?
