Mandy Nolan’s Soapbox: Vape Culture

Tobacco companies are in your home and in your school. They are quite possibly in your kid’s school bag. They have their sights set on your children; your precious kids are their future. They need to groom your babies into addiction so that their shareholders can continue to suck in their grubby toxic profits. The lips of the tobacco industry are on the soft fleshy cheeks of your babies and they are sucking hard. They are vaping the life out of your kids.

To the surfers out at Boulder on the morning of 22 March: thanks for the warning regarding the 10ft Great White that jumped out of the water – especially the Brazilian guy I talked to in the carpark before I was about to jump in. If it wasn’t for the warning the sweep would have landed me right on top of the beast. If only we can look after each other in similar ways! Thanks, lads.

Bradley Agius, Byron Bay
