 The law has been criticised as an infringement on civil liberties.Barrister Matthew Scott described the act as an attempt to "ban pleasure", saying it could drastically overreach by banning areca nuts, additives used in vapourisers and electronic cigarettes, hop pillows, and the sale of toads and salamanders that naturally produce psychoactive substances.Scott went further and suggested it may also ban flowers and perfumes as the scents can produce an emotional response.
