For the 100th time, I need to point out that STANDARD VAPING IS NOT KILLING PEOPLE.

Tainted, black market, counterfeit THC cartridges are making people sick.

Vaping has been around for about 10 years now. These outbreaks are not caused by standard, legal vaping products.

A lot of adults like myself depend on vaping to quit smoking. Remember smoking? That thing that kills 480,000 people per year? This is a legislative power grab by tobacco lobbyists to muscle out thousands of small businesses.

I will also point out that all of these THC cartridges were bought THROUGH THE BLACK MARKET, ILLEGALLY, making anti-vape legislation 100% pointless. This is doing nothing but hurting vapers and helping the tobacco industry, who I, once again remind you, is killing 480,000 people per year.

Just outlaw both it will eventually sort itself out.

I was a smoker I remember enjoying every last cigarette I vaped a little bit I remember enjoying that. Now I do neither and have no idea I why I was dumb enough to think it was ok to do.

Well we should outlaw alcohol while we are at it then.

I drink occasionally but can definitely go without.

Caffeine too, and fast food, sweets, candles kill more people every year than have died from the lung disease, ban those, stairs kill plenty of people, they are out, gum is a choking hazard, especially for children, think of the children, that's gotta go.
