Melania caught her precious little boy Barron vaping in the Lincoln Bedroom and she lost her shite right there and is now cracking the whip on hubby Donald to ban e-cigs.

What a timeline.

I’m trying to envision how this board would react if it were Obama imposing the regulation.



I'm pissed about this and was pissed about Obama banning flavored cigarettes (except menthols, of course).

Terrible decision by the GEOTUS, even though it won't effect me since I homebrew my own ejuice.

Yall dumbasses who are in favor of a non ban are a joke. There are many things (food products, additives, etc) throughout the years that have been banned due to being found harmful. It is a role of government. Comparing it to a gun (you can't protect yourself with an ecig) is outright ignorant and lacks critical thinking. I also bet you are all the same people who would be in favor of litigation agsinst these companies for causing lung disease.

I was poking fun at my vaping sister a few days ago when this story first blew up, now she has stopped responding to my texts. She was one one of the victims who had never used a tobacco product in her life, but was then lured in by the vaping phenomenon a couple of years ago.

The problem right now is that this feels like a knee jerk reaction.
This vape health story blew up about two weeks ago and has already lead to the President directing the FDA to ban flavors, which will effectively kill the industry.

Cigarettes don’t kill anyone. Poor personal choices do. Purposefully targeting flavored vaping pods to children is the problem here.

Yes, the sheep trust government to do what's right and not what's good for certain industry.

Sheep.

We're overregulated as it is. Let people make their own choices for their own lives.

While I don’t really care, I lean towards this is a dumb overreach.

I do think they should immediately pull all vaping advertisements. That shite is everywhere and pretends like it’s healthy.

Similar to cigarette ads in the 50s.

I know the feeling. I used to crush a six pack of heroin a day but when the government banned it I just had to quit
