Starting tomorrow, the state of Alabama will begin oversight and regulations for retailers who sell vape and other alternative nicotine products.

The new law:

• Requires vape shops to have a tobacco license.

• Prohibits advertising for vaping and other alternative nicotine products as healthy options to replace smoking.

• Puts regulation of e-cigarettes and vape products under the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board.

• Restricts the selling of vaping and nicotine products to anyone under age 19.

• Violating this provision could result in a fine of up to $300 and up to 30 days in jail.

• Prohibits advertising vaping products near schools or opening vape shops within 1,000 feet of a school, childcare facility, church, youth center or public library, playground or park.

• Limits billboard advertising for vaping liquid to offers for only three flavors – tobacco, mint or menthol.

They can’t advertise all the fruity flavors because that’s targeting children.

Nicotine caping is a problem I admit but the THC vaping pens sure do come in handy.

Wrong

As much as I detest the RawlTarders, compared to the inbred morans of Arkansas they are by & large wonderful folk.

Eight teenagers in Wisconsin have been hospitalized with serious lung damage after vaping, according to health officials.

All of the teenagers were hospitalized during the month of July, according to Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, the facility where the teens were treated. These patients experienced a number of respiratory symptoms — including shortness of breath, chest pain, cough and fatigue — in the days and weeks leading up to their hospitalization. Some of the teens needed medical assistance to breathe. The teens also experienced nausea, diarrhea and weight loss.

All of the patients reported vaping in the weeks and months before their hospitalization, according to Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. Doctors haven't identified the exact cause of the teens' illnesses.

"It was alarming to have, over a short period of time, eight previously healthy teens come in very sick, unable to breathe, with weight loss, looking as if they had some sort of chronic lung disease when they didn't," Dr. Louella Amos, a pediatric pulmonologist at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Maybe that's the belief now, but the problem is that those vaping liquids can be laced with just about anything. I assume you heard about the story from Detroit last week where 8 kids were brought to the hospital with similar symptoms (like breathing difficulties) after vaping?
