The Trump administration last week announced plans to ban most flavored e-cigarettes. New York just announced an emergency order to ban flavored vaping. A sixth person has died from vaping-related lung disease, according to the alarmists in news media.
CNN has proudly signaled its virtue by announcing it will no longer run Juul and other e-cigarette ads. A few weeks ago, my son shared with me that his public school anti-drug program focused almost entirely on discouraging vaping. That’s right, our leaders have prioritized the “threat” of vaping over heroin, cocaine, alcohol, and smoking.

BS. Vaping needs to end, no one will die. What will occur is that a new industry will die and those people will lose money and have to find new jobs. Life happens.
Vaping has been going on for 15 years or so. Nobody was dying...
These people are dying from drug use. The media nor the politburo will acknowledge that fact.
As far as I know, no one has died or had a severe reaction to any product sold by Juul or other authorized vendors.
Ironic if the vaping business goes up in smoke huh?
I smoked for 35 years and tried virtually EVERYTHING to quit.......Patches, pills, gum, you name it and I was not successful.
A friend of mine suggested vaping as an alternative and voila, in 6 weeks I had quit completely and have been off tobacco for 7 years.
If I hadn’t quit when I did I would at the very least be on oxygen now, more likely dead.
For me it was truly a life saver and I doubt my scenario is isolated.
Thousand of teenagers are turned into addicts every year because of vaping. When they become adults, they can’t shake the addiction and quit.
Well played.
If vaping is banned, people are going to make their own vape juice.
No one cares what you ban, jerks.
People are going to do what people are going to do. If they die, they die.
“Vaping needs to end” Because you said so?
I don't smoke, never have. I don't know many people who smoke, the ones that do and have switched to vaping have never stopped vaping. To them, it let's them still continue their nicotine habit while being "less offensive" than smoking to non-smokers.
That's what I've seen in friends who've switched to vaping and I freely admit it's a small sample.
FTR, glad you were able to quit and congratulations. Glad you're still with us. :-)
What damage is constant smoke doing to lungs longterm. Will these kids be dealing with emphysema as seniors?
“Thousand of teenagers are turned into addicts every year because of vaping. When they become adults, they can’t shake the addiction and quit.”
This is a lie.
How about this. It’s none of your damned business what method I choose to use to quit smoking.
Now piss off, busybody.

I’m entertained by the hypocrisy that wants to ban e-cigs but permit tobacco cigarettes.
Still spreading your nanny state bull**** I see.

Ditto.
It works more effectively than other methods, so let’s ban it.
Just like banning concealed carry reduces crime, so let’s ban it.
Brilliant!

Tax revenues from tobacco products declined severely.
Communists screamed loudly from the loss of tax revenue.
That's the whole story here.
Agreed. Because thousands of kids were being turned into addicts, millions of conservatives marched into voting booths to regulate the smoking vice. Now again, vaping is addicting our youth. Once again we (society) will regulate and legislate to protect our children.
Let the wails of “For the Children” start.
