“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
- CS Lewis
Every society needs its scapegoats. Ours are tobacco, big business, and whiteness, among others.
For Putin, it's "Nazis."
Even here in NC CBD stores are all over the place and sell 1000s of different types of Vapes. So good move! Keep kids of T&N and move Dem onto Delta 8/9/10 vapes!
Guess Juul didn’t pay off the right politicians.
Hannity had Pam Bondi on last night and she said an unintended (perhaps) consequence was these kids turning to black market devices which some will contain fentanyl.
She was adamant about parents telling their kids not to use these if they must vape.
”They are more nicotine strong than regular cigs...”
That is counter to my understanding.
Can you link your source for this information?
This was an emergency.
The product was fine and then one day it became dangerous.
Science, yo!
It is the second part of the quote that is my favorite:
“This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”
I’m not saying that vaping is worse than cigs, it’s actually ‘safer’ because it has none of the byproducts of burning tobacco leaves and other chemicals. I am a former smoker and used vapes when they first came out. But the vaping liquids they use today vary in nicotine strength significantly, and some even allow the user to ‘mix their own’, which has resulted in some deaths due to nicotine overdose.
There are no FDA regulations at this time specifically outlining the contents of what’s in e-juice or liquid nicotine. Other countries do limit the nicotine levels.
