I wonder what the latest total of cig smokers and all other associated Methods of administering “poison”.
They will manage to include them and Fake Opioid Crisis all in one. HIV is next.
Never mind the 1+Million who die of Diabetes a year. Insulin just keeps climbing in prices and no generic in site that actually is effective or the pills with horrid side effects. I watch my Eldest struggle with Type 2, pills made him sick, dehydrated, diarrhea. Yeah, he lost weight following the diet, but it is not sustainable when you work 10-12 hrs a day 6 days a week. And you are 47.
Technically some styles of hookahs are vaping, so there is that too.
We used to fry a turkey every Thanksgiving, until they said fried food was bad.
We switched to smoking a turkey, until they said it was bad.
So wed planned to vape our turkey this year.
Now thats bad too!
I blame the crony capitalism of the Butterball Company!
"Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue"...
The media is out of control, I'll bet there are more than 6 deaths per weekend in Chicago, and not a word of concern from the media.
...people die from smoking non-filtered marijuana that they are cheerleading to legalize
______________
Some earlier articles on this hysteria mentioned that the deaths came from vaping cannabis products, not unflavored nicotine products. I now see no distinctions being made.
Also, (IDK) are these prepackaged pods of tubes or the kind of vape pens that use home brewed mixtures? There are a dizzying array of pastes/oils/whatever they are advertised for vaping.
yep, with THC
“Vaping is very economical
A person smokes for 40 years and spends tens of thousands of dollars in cigarettes before they get terminal lung cancer.
A person spends 20 bucks, vapes for a week and drops dead.”
LOL!
Death Toll?
Drama Queen Much? Tens of Thousands of people vape. And 6 have died. Assume all six are directly related to vaping.
And this is a Death Toll?
Sheesh.
Obviously one or more fairly novel or recently modified products are problematical.
The government may wish to go through the dead peoples’ abodes and wallets and find the receipts and packages.
I believe most vaping users vape tobacco based stuff. These people are probably addicted to nicotine. It’s not likely they can stop, but would have to switch to cigarettes.
The government and the news media need to get a grip on reality.
re: “A person spends 20 bucks, vapes for a week and drops dead.”
ya ... vaping everything form Johnson’s Baby Oil to Shell Rotella T - WHAT COULD HAPPEN?
Call me shocked. We also have a serious Pot problem.
Only 6? People do more dangerous stuff than vaping every single day. Smoking, for example.
Didn’t we just discuss this to death yesterday?
The AMA, one of the nation’s most influential [and political] physician groups, ...
The AMAs edicts should be taken with the understanding that the AMA is political by nature.
Two words, "Food Pyramid". That's all you need to know about the AMA.
US deaths from synthetic opioids, especially fentanyl, rose more than 10-fold in 5 years, new research shows.
A report from the Rand Corporation, a research and analysis nonprofit organization that consults on public policy worldwide, notes that deaths in the United States involving synthetic opioids increased from approximately 3000 in 2013 to more than 30,000 in 2018. In addition, this type of drug is now involved in twice as many deaths as heroin.

“
Connect the dots between better health, less lethargy, greater energy (especially with energy needed to care for a baby) improved overall quality of life, more positive outlook, hence happier spouse, and hence greater happiness.”
Lots of fathers from The Greatest Generation would get a good chuckle out of that one.
