I’ve been wondering what all of this vape nonsense has been about.
It’s nicotine without the smell, TAR and the other hundred chems found in a regular cig.
Are vapes taxed like cigs?
Maybe that is the reason...
Or maybe the lawyers are hopping up the leftist fools for another multi-billion lawsuit...
Vaping is too decentralized and unruly for the nanny state.
Tobacco, gambling, marijuana, drugs and soon prostitution - those are all rackets that belong to the state, and they demand their large cut. They like cooperation with a few pliant crony-capitalists who are under their thumb.
DEMOCRATS want VAPERS to turn to LEGAL MARIJUANA and really get hooked.
Ironically, it is marketed as the “safe alternative to smoking”.
Sounds like the lesser of two evils. So five people have died ... what's that compared to the thousands upon thousands who die smoking tobacco conventionally?
“Are vapes taxed like cigs”
There you have it. The bought and paid for scientific community will continue to find good reason to tax and regulate this scourge until the proper vig is laid at the feet of our beters.
How many people die each year because of cigarette smoking??
I quit smoking after 30 years because of e-cigs, there is no smell, no tar, no chemicals, no yellow film on EVERYTHING in the house I have been so happy I was able to quit and NOW these BASTARDS want to take that away also!!! I am so sick to death of the government, it’s OK to smoke all the pot you want, it’s OK to shoot up heroin in the streets and they make sure you have clean needles OR methadone BUT OMG pick up an e-cig AND we just can’t have that!!! GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK get the HELL out of MY LIFE you commie Marxists!!!!
I know a man who does cigarette testing for the CDC. There are thousands of chemicals in cigarettes. Many are formed by interaction with each other as the intense heat breaks them down. For starters, every keytone in the book are present. It degrades from there. He has even separated nerve agents similar to VX.
