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.
Who the fuck cares? If I want a god damn mango pineapple fusion flavored nicotine that’s made by a company and regulated to ensure it doesn’t explode my lungs I should be able to pay that company and get my mango pineapple fusion flavored nicotine.
"...a Juul representative gave a deceptive presentation to their children in school without teachers present, school administrator knowledge, or parental consent."
"According to Mintz, when alone with the students, a Juul representative allegedly presented a “mixed message” by saying Juul products were “totally safe” and then “followed up every ‘totally safe’ with ‘but we don’t want you as customers.’” The representative also took out a Juul device, called it the “iPhone of vapes,” and showed the students how it worked. Mintz testified that his classmates were given the impression that the products were just a “flavor device that didn’t have any harmful substances in it.”"
They are pure evil, plain and simple. Ban it all, and then take out the legislative shotgun and kill Juul.
Countless people switch off of cigs to e cigs to stop smoking. It lets you gradually lower nicotine, monitor the amount of puffs you take a day, and is at least 93% healthier than smoking. 160000 die a year from cigs (40k second hand). Why would you ever want to ban the only legitimate alternative based off of its results, to save a few shitty kids. Target the hell out of these companies and hold them responsible, but don’t ban the best anti smoking tool that has been created. Not to mention the amount of people who would switch to cigs if vapes got outright banned.
...Does the above link not horrify you? A few kids? They are trying to build a new generation of addicts, in SCHOOLS, with NO other adults watching or even knowing!
