Some scary comments here from 'educated' people

bakerbee1.bsky.social @bakerbee1.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Unfortunately most members of the public have copped a barrage of exaggerated claims and outright lies via media articles and gov public health and cancer charity announcements so its hardly surprising they think its more or as harmful as smoking.

I think Simon is having a panic attack.

The deeper they dig the hole the deeper they'll eventually be buried. Wishful thinking? Perhaps they'll never be held accountable protected by layers of academia and grants.

The point at which the informed reader become suspicious

bakerbee1.bsky.social @bakerbee1.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

Entirely predictable considering the prohibition era dysfunctional regulations in Australia.

Should be an interesting segment on Life Matters on RN tomorrow morning. Keep an ear out.

Our public health industry shark bite kit is now a $12 packet of Manchesters. How bizarre how things have turned.

Great she countered the recent 'reliable' smoking stats that the public health industry is cracking champagne over.

bakerbee1.bsky.social @bakerbee1.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

I'd say the reliability of any smoking stats decrements with any increment in illegal sales. Of course the hubris of the PH health industry seeks to advertise itself as always successful. As expected.

bakerbee1.bsky.social @bakerbee1.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

+ If I were a smoker these days I'd stick with $12 smokes than jump hurdles to get legal vapes. Maybe I'd try an illegal disposable vape and find them disgusting (flavours too sickly sweet with coolant) and go back to the cheap smokes. Both situations created by policy.

Anybody pro-THR in AU becomes a smear target for these clowns. Is hilarious Simon's offloaded his monologues to his mini-me frowning Becky.

bakerbee1.bsky.social @bakerbee1.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Honestly Alex. If they'd done that in Australia and kept the re-usable ones (that I use) and kept the dedicated vape shops (usually run by passionate ex-smokers) and allowed regulated nic e-liquid sales I'd be happy. Better for environment, better for smokers (and potential future smokers).

Simon's ego won't let him admit that the disastrous policies he acted as consultant/advisor on have demonstrably failed www.news.com.au/national/nsw...

😆 Cool ok. Let's just double-down then and see where that gets us. This is what is being suggested and while we're at it lets restrict tobacco harm reduction for smokers even more so they don't use the black market. Surely a win-win for smokers, vapers and criminals 🤡

bakerbee1.bsky.social @bakerbee1.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Poor Simon, running out of excuses for the terrible outcomes from failed policies that he was a prime consultant 'expert' on. You can see his desperation with another hair-brained idea of shut down tobacconists and supermarket sales only. Time to face the music and admit you failed. Time for rethink

Thanks for your commentary on this (albeit cheesy) special. Finally mainstream exposure for the Aus failure and the success in NZ. Hopefully one of many exposes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3c9...

They've (croakey) always been a part of the anti-THR machine. A media outlet amplifying/advertising the views of the usual crew. God it must be getting uncomfortable for them. Perhaps they think they are untouchable? Love your writing Al, keep going.

Quite a few vapers I saw in Ubud, Bali last year and some good vape stores where I was able to pick up some hardware that is no longer available in Aus.

bakerbee1.bsky.social @bakerbee1.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

He said something like 'I agree with Simon, what other alternatives are there?', so I replied with commentary from someone who's probably better at setting them out than me and then BLOCK. Must not have much confidence in their argument.

Thanks for blocking me for just replying respectfully to your question @spillanemj.bsky.social

Simon thinks more enforcement will fix things. He is foolishly mistaken and is out of touch with reality (not surprising).

bakerbee1.bsky.social @bakerbee1.bsky.social · 19/04/2026

Am guessing many public (esp youth) don't believe a word judging by this comment (wasn't me). www.facebook.com/quitvic/post...

Its getting worse now the cancer scare is out and about. Now using these factoids in their public facing websites. www.quit.org.au/en/tools/hea...

bakerbee1.bsky.social @bakerbee1.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

Simon is like the Trump of tobacco control. All bluster and distraction, lies and exaggeration.

020

bakerbee1.bsky.social @bakerbee1.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

There's a valid reason why those with mental health challenges gravitate towards nicotine use.

020

bakerbee1.bsky.social @bakerbee1.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

The exaggerations and lies are now plastered around train stations. Peak insanity right now.

bakerbee1.bsky.social @bakerbee1.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

Isn't 'Dr' Simon implying that they are involved in the illegal tobacco trade in his latest submission 🤡

010

bakerbee1.bsky.social @bakerbee1.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

It really has reached peak crazy when its stated that vaping on top of smoking increases your chances of cancer (what by? 0.0000001%) in a noteworthy and significant way. www1.racgp.org.au/newsgp/clini... 🤪

bakerbee1.bsky.social @bakerbee1.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

You are promoting junk science encouraging smokers to keep smoking instead of drastically reduce harm by switching to vaping.

020

bakerbee1.bsky.social @bakerbee1.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

More junk science probably to distract away from massive tobacco black market and clear policy failure www.sciencemediacentre.org/expert-react...
