CDC is Protecting Illicit Marijuana While Trying to Pin this Outbreak on Traditional E-Cigarettes
The Rest of the Story ^ | September 8, 2019 | Dr. Michael Siegel

Posted on 09/14/2019 12:35:38 PM PDT by Eric Blair 2084

It is clear to me that in its investigation of more than 400 cases of acute respiratory failure tied to the vaping of certain products, the CDC is doing everything it can to undermine the proven connection between most of these cases and illicit marijuana vape carts, while exaggerating a potential, but completely unproven connection with traditional electronic cigarettes.

This was highlighted last Friday with the complete split between the FDA and CDC with respect to their public communications and warnings regarding the disease outbreak.

A lot of people here swear they are safe.

And to that I say...it can take a lot of time to see the effects.

And just because you can be a 90 year old chain smoker with no lung cancer doesn’t mean smoking does not cause lung cancer.

Oh, I’m the same way.
Someone lights up, blows a cloud into the air and apologizes to me, and I say, “No. don’t apologize. It’s like incense to me.”

30 year former smoker. Quit overnight with ecigs, and I didn’t even WANT to. They just tasted better. Been off cigs for 11 years and 4 months.

BS. The CDC release he bitches about states in its third and fourth sentences: "While many of the patients, but not all, reported recent use of THC-containing products, some reported using both THC- and nicotine-containing products. A smaller group reported using nicotine only." The author doesn't challenge the accuracy of these statements, but merely whines about what it supposedly "undermines" and "downplays."

That’s the funny thing when professional Anti-smoking advocates say that vaping will lead the little children to start smoking.

There is no way that somebody could switch from vaping delicious chocolate truffle flavors Or Scooby snacks and then suddenly decide that… “Oh yeah these burnt leaves taste almost as good.”

I still find myself hanging outside at weddings just to smell the secondhand smoke. It smells like freedom.

The 90-year-old Like my uncle who smoked two packs of camel unfiltered cigarettes and drank Jack Daniels And Budweiser may have died because of apples.

He ate an apple or two once.

I don’t know why you are so angry. The marijuana Vape’s that are handled legally And are regulated for quality control must be awesome.

My best friend and I had a great time while he stealth vaped marijuana and I stealth vaped nicotine at a Chili’s restaurant in NJ.

We weren’t bothering anyone and nobody cared. The sizzling fajita is better with steak not chicken.

Are the FDA and CDC any less corrupt than the rest of the FedMob? I am highly skeptical.

I pray to God that trumps knee jerk reaction About banning flavors was just something he promised Melania. Kind of an I’m sorry for stormy Daniels.

But she has to realize that the kids at Andover with the blue jackets Vape too. They can just afford better quality.

Amen to that! I hadn’t heard that Trump has talked about banning “flavers.” Knee jerk is right.

Good for you. I’m watching a movie on Netflix with my little girl.

Now I am going to read her a bedtime story.

Good night.

I smoked 3 packs a day for 20 years. Never wanted to quit, hearing how bad it was.

Finally realized I NEEDED to quit. I read that it takes 72-hours to get the nicotine out of the system.

I sucked nicotine gum for 48-hours, said the hell with it and stopped altogether.

That was it. Easy peasy.

I can’t believe how long I had smoked just because of all the BS about how hard it was to quit.

It will be 15 years next year.

Not as good as 1 or 2, but still worth a watch.
