Is that per ml of juice or ml of nicotine?
per ml of mixed juice whether theres nic or not.
applies to nicotine for diy as well as far as i know.
so, 30ml juice will go up by R100?
Not applicable to DIY nicotine as yet, just for ready to use juices
Tax has been in place since June 2023 already, so this is just an increase on that. For a 30ml of premixed juice you would have paid R87.00 more since June 2023, now you will be paying R91.20 extra
Thank you!

Right my bad. Had half a clever moment there.
You'll send people like me into a panic and re-reading the excruciatingly boring legislation again to see if I missed something
This part, take note specifically: "...indicated that the tolling infrastructure could be repurposed to detect average speed-over-distance violations."

The actual facts. Most actual aboriginals (And the NON MainStreamMedia sheep Aussies) voted NO because the YES vote was nothing more than a easy quick takeover by liberal lobbying globalists to get to the resources of the Aboriginal land and destroy Aboriginal councils, senators and political figures. In simple terms if you voted YES in AU its like voting NO to Brexit and stay slaves to the EU globalists. Which is what the AU Yes Voice is! The AU aboriginals loose ALL their actual power and voices in parliament and its replaced by NON elected radical globalists that will sell the Aboriginals out. BTW if Jacinta Price ran for PM today probably over 75% of all Aussies would vote for her. And she's Aboriginal! More common sense and integrity in her little toe than all the corrupt Australian politians from all parties combined.

Air Sampling confirms secondhand vapor is harmless
Results clearly indicate that the amount of toxic substances present in the air where a lot of vaping is taking place, are of insignificant levels.

Air Sampling confirms secondhand vapor is harmless
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH), has been carrying out air sampling in vape shops throughout the state, as part of its initiative to determine the health effects of second-hand vapor exposure.
Earlier today in his blog, Public Health Expert Dr. Michael Siegel pointed out that the results for this report were obtained from a relatively small and non-ventilated vape shop, where many of the employees and 13 customers were actively vaping while the sampling was taking place, hence what would be considered a situation presenting a high level of exposure to second-hand vapor. However, given all these unfavourable conditions, the results still reported no dangerous levels of exposure to any hazardous chemicals.
Dr. Michael Siegel quote : “This study, although conducted under very high exposure conditions in a small, non-ventilated vape shop with many employees and customers vaping and clouds of vapor visible, did not document any dangerous levels of exposure to any hazardous chemical.”
The main results of the air sampling go as follows :
- Nicotine: Not detected
- Glycidol: Not detected
- Formaldehyde: 7.2 ppb
- Diacetyl: Not detected using standard method
- 2,3-Pentanedione: Not detected using standard method
- Acetyl butyryl: Not detected using standard method
- Acetoin: Not detected using standard method
- Acetone: Not detected
- Ethyl benzene: Not detected
- m,p-Xylene: Not detected
- o-Xylene: Not detected
- Toluene: Not detected
- Acetaldehyde: Not detected
- Acetonitrile: Not detected
- alpha-pinene: Not detected
- Benzene: Not detected
- Chloroform: Not detected
- d-Limonene: Not detected
- Methylene chloride: Not detected
- Methyl methacrylate: Not detected
- n-Hexane: Not detected
- Styrene: Not detected
Finally putting fears about formaldehyde to rest?
Dr. Siegel pointed out that the level of formaldehyde detected, is consistent with the levels normally found in indoor and outdoor air levels under baseline conditions, adding that the only other chemicals detected were ethanol (alcohol) and isopropyl alcohol.
This study (…) did not document any dangerous levels of exposure to any hazardous chemical.Dr. Michael Siegel
“This study, although conducted under very high exposure conditions in a small, non-ventilated vape shop with many employees and customers vaping and clouds of vapor visible, did not document any dangerous levels of exposure to any hazardous chemical. Nicotine exposure was essentially non-existent. Formaldehyde exposure was no different than in many indoor and outdoor environments at baseline. Acetone, acetoin, other aldehydes, toluene, benzene, and xylene were not detected. Chemicals that have been associated with “popcorn lung” were also not detected by the standard method.” stated Siegel.
No justification for governments to ban vaping
“This study adds to the evidence that under real-life conditions, secondhand vaping does not appear to pose any significant health risks.” concluded the public health expert. He added that whilst he himself has been behind many of the smoking bans that took place, based on this current evidence he fails to see a reason as to why governments should ban vaping in public spaces. “With regards to vaping, I just don’t see any reasonable evidence at this time that it poses any significant health hazard to bystanders.”
The CDPH has still not released any official data pertaining to this study – last updated on 04/07/17.
Latest Study: No lung damage reported following long term daily vaping
The results may provide some preliminary evidence that long-term use of ECs is unlikely to raise significant health concerns in relatively young users.

Latest Study: No lung damage reported following long term daily vaping
A long term study looking for possible lung damage after a cohort of non-smokers had used e-cigarettes daily for a number of years, indicated that these vapers suffered no lung damage, when their results were compared with those of non-vapers.
The study was conducted by the renowned Professor Polosa, who is Director of the Institute of Internal Medicine and Anti Smoking Center at the University of Catania, and last June received an INNCO Global Award.
Preliminary evidence that long-term vaping is unlikely to pose significant health risks
While the sample size was small, “the results of this study may provide some preliminary evidence that long-term use of ECs is unlikely to raise significant health concerns in relatively young users.”
Prof Riccardo Polosa and his team, followed a small sample of young adults who had never smoked but used e-cigarettes on a regular basis. The participants were followed and monitored for approximately 3½ years, and their results were compared with a control group of non-smokers who had never used e-cigarettes.
“We found no decrements in spirometric indices, development of respiratory symptoms, changes in markers of lung inflammation in exhaled air or findings of early lung damage on HRCT, when compared with a carefully matched group of never-smoking non-EC users.” reported the study authors. The researchers added that even the heaviest of users displayed no signs of lung damage or inflammation, and no changes in blood pressure or heart rate were observed.
Polosa’s study answers concerns about arterial stiffness
These findings answer the concerns raised by a number of medical professionals who were linking vaping arterial stiffness. In fact, a study presented at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress, held during September 2017 in Milan, Italy, had pointed out that vaping momentarily increases one’s vital signs and arterial stiffness.
In response to the above, Prof. Peter Hajek, who is the director at the Tobacco Dependence Research Unit, at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), had pointed out that there are other things that have the same effect on the body and are considered irrelevant in terms of health risks. “This is a well-known stimulant effect of nicotine that has little relevance for health. Drinking coffee has the same effect, only greater and longer lasting (as does watching a dramatic football match).”
Further studies with larger samples required
Polosa’s study which was published on Scientific Reports, concluded that while the sample size was small, “the results of this study may provide some preliminary evidence that long-term use of ECs is unlikely to raise significant health concerns in relatively young users.” However, concluded the researchers, further studies with larger samples need to be carried out.
