Exactly. They need to go after the distributors that are cutting their fluids with this shit, or better yet, legalize MJ and regulate it so that people arent smoking hot dog water that gives you pneumonia.
How does it feel to spit truth into the wind and just have it ignored by the maelstrom of post-truth opinionism we live in these days?
Directed hysteria is an economic and political weapon we're seeing wielded with more and more prowess. Feh.
Vaping among kids really is a major fucking issue. It's astounding how high the rates are in middle and high school.
And the CEOs will stay at the Trump International Hotel in a very expensive suite and have a very expensive dinner at the hotel restaurant.
Like smoking doesn't doesn't appeal to kids either? I work across the street from a high school. When I go out for vape breaks I get non-stop kids asking me if I have any cigarettes. Not vape shit. Cigs. Kids will want to do whatever they're told they shouldn't.
Removing flavored juices isn't going to help. More people will try to make their own juices or buy shady black market shit off the street and more health issues will arise because of that. Kids will still vape tobacco flavors. There are actually a ton of really great tobacco flavors. And kids will of course just keep smoking like they already do anyway.
These recent "vaping" related illnesses also don't look to have anything to do with people purchasing legitimately produced products either, so there's that too.
Juul is/was sending marketers directly into schools to meet with kids in unsupervised "safe spaces" and "not" push vaping as part of mental health/addiction campaigns.
Zero sympathy for these fuckers.

Well 100s since 2016. Over 100 just last year. Strange thing to be pedantic about.
Flavored vapes appeal to adults just as much as teens. Banning flavors is, for all intents and purposes, an outright ban that will likely push large #'s of teens and adults back to cigarettes.
More than 130 have been killed in school shootings just since Sandy Hook...
My "numbers" are correct...and that's only going back to 2014. People getting shot in a school predates that. If you throw the 80's/90's in you cross 300±.

reminds me when my great aunt before she died of dementia and she referred to my father as a "handsome young man" and called me by my dad's name.
It's not even juuls or vaping really... It's blackmarket THC cartridges. People are dying mostly from places where weed is illegal. Why can't the media get their shit together lmao.
I actually agree with him in some aspects. Whether I think we need an FTC ban or not, I dunno, I think we need way more research and regulation of them and that a lot of people turn a blind eye to vaping like people did 50 years ago with cigarettes.
Unless he's trying to take away my adult-use regulated marijuana vape carts! From my cold dead hands Trump!

Literally no one is vaping straight unflavored nicotine liquid. Even the tobacco flavored is just that, flavored like tobacco. lmao these posts
(I will concede - some people actually do, in fact, do that.) 1% I'd say.
Edit* Also, this call for a ban is going after the wrong products or at least being wayyyyyyyyyyyyy to fucking broad. The issue at hand are the THC and possibly CBD carts.
sad thing is, the blackmarket THC carts are probably part of the issue.
Not who you replied to, but it sucks. As someone who was smoking THC carts (stopped now due to this), I have been following these stories religiously. This ban will do fuck all. It isnt the issue, and I dont even smoke nicotine or cigs, I have no dog in the fight to keep them legal.
But that isnt the point, the point is that hes banning X for something that Y did. He is using the black market shit as an excuse to attack the vaping industry, which helps his buddies in big tobacco.
Lmao bootleg vaping? Yall trying to die fam, ain't no way that shit going to be safe at all,
Yeah there's been a lot of misinformation around who is getting sick from vaping THC. So, originally, I had read that it was THC vape/carts bought in adult-use regulated marijuana states at dispensaries, and I got worried because that's exclusively what I buy when I buy THC cartridges (Massachusetts regulated legal marijuana). But then the Vox article that went ijnto detail about it didn't specify the source of the people who got sick, so now I'm not sure what's what.
The irony being that the recent outbreak of lung illness are almost certainly due to thickening agents being used in THC vape carts and have nothing to do with traditional ecigs or vaping.
But yeah- let's ban flavors and create a similar black market for regular vapes to the one we currently see for THC carts. 'Cause that's going really well...
Did you buy your thc carts from a shady drug dealer or a reputable dispensary? If the latter I'm sure you're going to be okay bud.
Yeah, there's a bunch of wide-open question marks that make any kneejerk reaction a bad idea. It could be a widespread issue, or it could just be the black market carts only. If it's the latter, banning the tobacco version has a strong possibility of making things worse.
Not bad. If only the same bans were placed on firearms that have killed thousands of people a year, as opposed to like 6 or 7 total.
Oh well!
Oh well!
Exactly, these issues are completely separate. But leave it to the Era anti-vape brigade to come in and fill this entire thing with misinformation.
If you are against vaping, that is fine. If you are against them marketing to kids, that is fine too. But understand that the reason these people died have NOTHING to do with either of those things, and trump is conflating the issue to support his agenda.
I never said any of that isn't true, and I even said it's stupid to go after the tobacco industry when this is a THC related issue causing deaths.
Cigarette companies haven't advertised on TV or Radio for like 50 years and cigarette use among minors has dropped significantly...
Until of course vaping started getting popular and teens started using them cause they are "safe"
Black market. Im already dead. Posting from the beyond
But in all seriousness, I have not had any health issues as of now, but I have decided to cut it out until more research is done and to just stay safe.
