Australia withdrew the e-cigarette import ban, and many parties protests succeeded !

If Australian e-cigarette users are celebrating tonight, we should understand them! After all, a ban on nicotine imports, which will take effect on July 1, was suddenly withdrawn by Australian Health Minister Greg Hunt, and was postponed until January 1, 2021. The ban was announced on June 20. The ban shows that from July 1, the import nicotine e-liquid will be banned, and anyone who violates the regulations will be fined $220,000. But e-cigarette users can still obtain nicotine e-liquid through a doctor's prescription.

However, according to local media reports, the sad reality is that very few Australian doctors are willing to write nicotine prescriptions under the current law, and given the complex and time-consuming requirements of the new plan, there are even fewer people now willing.

After the ban was announced, the Australian Health Minister felt protests and opposition from local e-cigarette users. Angry opponents entered social media and called and wrote to local officials to complain. At the same time, a petition created by two members of Congress against the ban received more than 52,000 signatures in less than 24 hours.

This was a civil protest, What made the Minister of Health even more troublesome was that his backyard also caught fire. After the Minister of Health announced the ban, he was met with growing opposition from colleagues including members of his own party. On Thursday, 28 members of the ruling coalition signed a letter against the ban on imports of nicotine. Senators Matthew Canawan and George Christensen and other members of the House of Commons publicly opposed Health Minister Greg Hunt and the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) to attack 500,000 Australian e-cigarette users. They launched a petition to overturn the import ban on nicotine e-liquid, and instead legalized and regulated it.

Pay attention to this word, legalize it and supervise it. 28 members of Congress warned that cumbersome regulatory requirements would effectively prohibit people from buying nicotine e-liquid and make them re-smoker.

What is silicon carbide whiskers and its application

Silicon carbide whiskers are a kind of single-crystal fiber with a certain length-to-diameter ratio, which has very good high temperature resistance and high strength. It is mainly used in toughening applications where high temperature and high strength applications are required. Such as: aerospace materials, high-speed cutting tools. At present, it has a very high performance-price ratio. Silicon carbide whiskers are cubic whiskers, and diamonds belong to a crystal form. They are the whiskers with the highest hardness, the largest modulus, the highest tensile strength and the highest heat resistance temperature. It is both α-type and β-type, in which β-type performance is better than α-type and has higher hardness (Mohs hardness of 9.5 or more), better toughness and electrical conductivity, anti-wear, high temperature resistance, especially earthquake resistance Corrosion-resistant, radiation-resistant, has been applied to aircraft, missile casings and engines, high-temperature turbi...

Ultra-high density semiconductor type single-walled carbon nanotube horizontal array

ChinaPeking Universitycooperate with Chinese Academy of Sciencesto use ethanol / methanebychemical vapor deposition method to get ultrahigh-density semiconductor array level of  single-walled carbon nanotube . Nowadays, as electronic devices become smaller and smaller, silicon transistors have reached the bottleneck of their development. The horizontal array ofsingle-walled carbon nanotubesis regarded as the most powerful successor of future transistors due to its excellent performance. At present, obtaining high-purity, high-density horizontal arrays of single-walled carbon nanotubes is a major challenge for researchers. Although the direct formation of horizontal arrays ofsingle-walled carbon nanotubeson a substrate by chemical vapor deposition is an effective method for realizing high-performance electronic devices, conventional chemical vapor deposition is extremely active due to the generated methane plasma and ultra-high temperature hydrogen atoms....

Fipronil is one of the most widely used insecticide in the world

Fipronil products  is a broad-spectrum insecticide that belongs to the phenylpyrazole chemical family. it disrupts the insect central nervous system by blocking GABA-gated chloride channels and glutamate-gated chloride (GluCl) channels. This causes hyperexcitation of contaminated insects' nerves and muscles. It's specificity towards insects is believed to be due to its greater affinity to the GABA receptor in insects relative to mammals and its effect on GluCl channels, which do not exist in mammals. Because of its effectiveness on a large number of pests,  Fipronil products  is used as the active ingredient in flea control products for pets and home roach traps as well as field pest control for corn, golf courses, and commercial turf. Its widespread use makes its specific effects the subject of considerable attention. This includes ongoing observations on possible off-target harm to humans or ecosystems as well as the monitoring of resistance development. Use: Under the ...
