Smoking kills 5,000 Kiwis each year, with massive health and economic costs. Tobacco tax hasn’t stopped people smoking, but it sure has got the Government addicted - raising $2.2 billion each year. Meanwhile, shop-owners get bashed up because the tax means bricks of tobacco are like gold bars in their cupboards.

Vaping is the best technology ever invented for people to stop smoking. Thousands have quit and probably had their lives saved by it. Vaping is also the biggest threat to the Government’s tobacco tax revenue. So what is the Government doing? Cracking down on it, of course.

They’re planning to make a new law to:

Ban flavours, even though 90 per cent of sales are flavoured

Ban advertising, making it harder for people to find out there’s a safer alternative

Ban vaping in smoke free areas

Ban discounts of vaping products

They’re going to crack down on the safe alternative to tobacco as if it was tobacco. We wish we were making this up, but we’re not.

ACT stands for freedom. We're standing up for vaping because it’s the right thing to do. Vaping saves lives and, frankly, it is nobody's damn business if you want to do it.
