Well, there's no way that vaping can be healthy.

And people look pretty gay doing it.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I don’t know, but vaping has become a big problem with kids.

After decades and decades of work to get young people to stop smoking, with great success, all that work is being undone with kids getting addicted to nicotine because they’ve been told vaping is harmless because it’s just water vapor.

I’m all for devices to help people quit smoking, but the fact that kids were able to get their hands on it and were being told it’s harmless is bullshite.

The fake THC cartridges are exactly what is sending people to the hospital. The legal ones in the free states are not sending anyone to the hospital except for stoners over imbibing.

Money, money, money

There is a huge underground black market in the vaping world especially as it applies to the vape"juice" that is THC which is doing the damage.

Tabacco companies were losing out to vaping and other electronic smoke devices so they used their pull

Just make the shite legal everywhere and we would save 12 lives. Now when does the conversation start on hormone blockers? Lots more have died because people coddled them into a confused sexual disarray

OK? That’s not the fault of vaping companies. Cigarettes weren’t banned and teenage smoking declined. Kids do what they think is cool. Parents, teachers, guardians, peers, etc changed it. Not a ban

I mean, arguably vaping is still way better than smoking cigarettes. Nicotine, caffeine, alcohol, weed...what’s really the difference? You can age regulate it but kids will always be kids and their will always be an underage underground market.

the fact that kids were able to get their hands on it


By this logic you’d be on board with a complete ban on cigarettes and alcohol as well. And clearly the complete ban on weed worked, no kids ever got their hands on that.

I mean, it’s more just unknown. I’ve never heard of vaping being harmless, just that it didn’t contain the “bad” carcinogens found in cigarettes and doesn’t have bad smells, yellowing teeth, etc that cigs do

Instead of focusing on the dangers of buying underground THC pods (which is where the real danger lies), the media and politicians are going after Juul and the entire industry. I don’t even vape and think it’s ridiculous

Age restrictions and laws on marketing to children is as far as the government should be allowed to go. Locals can choose whatever vice taxes they want to put on it, but let people buy and smoke what they want

I bet just as many are coming from America. Some people were arrested in Milwaukee recently who were making thousands of them a day. They confiscated over 31k filled cartridges and 98k empties. I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of the deaths are traced back to this family.

Is vaping taxed as bad as cigs? If not, then .gov might be losing it's precious tax dollars.

Because it is the “in” thing for politicians right now especially ones with no intellectual ability to looks at science.
Not big tobacco because many own significant portions of the big e cig companies already and Also packet (mouth) dispensing methods.
They also already are geared up with fluid providers for introduction into the and cbd or thc when legal
They win regardless of how you want your buzz


This is just the in thing for politicians to do to act like they are actually helping the citizens
Especially funny is the focus on how they are mad at them for marketing to children!!!!
But nothing about other industries....i am going to stop typing now and go have a grape or orange hard alcoholic soda if I can get the stupid Fanta drinks out of the way and do some target shooting with my neon pink or yellow semi automatic rifle
Politicians :(
