answer for other response
I am an ex smoker all because vaping was available to me. I smoked for over 35 years and tried everything to quit. Nothing worked for me until I tried vaping. I don’t get sick every winter anymore, I feel fit, my skin has improved and I don’t smell. If I can buy a packet of cigarettes legally which is proven to be extremely bad for my health why should I pay a Doctor, waste his/her time not to mention my own for a prescription. This just makes no sense. I am an adult and believe I should have the right to choose the better option without all the drama and inconvenience.
Your response - Part C
If you’re a smoker or presently use nicotine containing e-cigarettes how do you view the requirement to see a doctor to get a prescription for nicotine containing e-cigarettes?
Consumer questions
Insane, when I can purchase over the counter tobacco / cigarettes in the local shop
In your experience, what support would you seek from your doctor to stop smoking?
Consumer questions
Doctors couldn’t help me, I tried that numerous times. The only thing that worked was vaping
Do you support the delegate’s possible inclusion of child resistant closures for nicotine products?
Consumers questions
Most products do already have a child resistant closure
In your opinion, will a requirement for a prescription help reduce uptake of nicotine delivery products such as nicotine e-cigarettes among youth?
Consumer questions
No, it will do nothing
Your response - Part D
Do you think making child resistant closures is sufficient to mitigate the risk of accidental exposure or ingestion of liquid nicotine in e-cigarettes in children?
Doctor question
Yes I do
In your opinion, will a requirement for a prescription help reduce uptake of nicotine delivery products such as nicotine e-cigarettes among youth?
Doctor question
No i don’t believe it will do anything, but to drive youth to the black market and god knows what they will be smoking/vaping then.
