Politics is all about manipulation.

Bigger government = more manipulation = less freedom

I guess no one remembers the sudden respiratory vitamin blamed on vapes like a month or two before covid was all the rage.

we were all set to ban all vape products cause of 2 or 3 deaths

(disclosure I have never used a vape device)

There has been an increase in pleurisy as a result of vaping. An old lung disease more common in American revolutionary times.

Yes, the CDC is a Progressive institution.

They decide what is good for us.

They believe they know what is good. They believe lying to accomplish their goals is acceptable "for the greater good".

Not incidentally, this gives the more power and money.

I would say they aren’t progressive, in any meaningful sense of the word.

Vaping seems to have gone the path of the Pet Rock. I haven’t seen one in months.

Democrat scum crave oppression and subjugation for its own sake.

Think masks and vaccines.

It's likely not the vaping of nicotine...

I’ve been vaping since May 2009. They instantly got me to quit a 30-year smoking habit.
If there were any adverse effects (Other than obnoxious taxation), I’d think they would have happened by now.
Then again, I make my own coils and fluids.

And then there's pot vaping...

Evaluation of Self-reported Cannabis Vaping Among US Youth and Young Adults Who Use e-Cigarettes

...but it looks like additives may be the issue, there, too.

I don't vape, BTW. Anything. Not my cuppa.

I used the capital in Progressive for a reason.

The CDC is a classic political Progressive organization.

Progressive is their preferred term.

Leftist describes them more clearly as the totalitarian killers that they are.

Tell the truth.

“Vaping” is a stupid expensive fad and it’s just as bad for your health as smoking. It’s primarily pitched to youth because youth are stupid.

Also, anybody who looks to the CDC for real information about anything is stupid.

FWIW, I’ve had pleurisy and few things in my life have caused more pain. Imagine a sharp, agonizing pain with each breath. Imagine not being able to breathe at all if you lie down. Consider feeling like you’re drowning for four days waiting for the antibiotics to kick in.
