*NS = Nanny-Statists
Note, the same edict prohibits by onerous taxation the availability of premium cigars. There is a trapdoor. These regs are not to be enforced for 2 years. Perhaps, just perhaps, a Trump presidency will bring common sense to the FDA.
I was thinking one afternoon this week about how much the nanny state PC crowd resembles the Victorians. That didn’t end so well for Britain.
I suspicion it, rather, has to do with all that money not being spent tobacco - and the cozy relationship between tobacco and Washington
If this is so, then vapes would seem to need no more oversight than something like Nicorette.
There is a strong case to be made for regulatory standards for vaping products. I’ve heard of a handful of explosions caused by faulty vapes—in one case, a teen was permanently blinded. There is also inconsistency between the quantity and quality of ingredients in vaping products.
To my mind, this is no different than the regulatory standards set in place for almost any other product. If you buy a product, you have the right for it to be safe and standardized. This is a different issue than the fact that studies so far do show that vaping is less harmful than smoking.
Ridiculous! All done to build bureaucratic empires and to provide cover stories that useless eater Federales are not useless. That these are uber-important regulatory jobs that need to be filled by affirmative action (gays, blacks, lezzies, trannies, feminazis etc etc) drones and other style drones.
Just think of the Washington DC region Federal government as a glorified employment agency for socialists and liberals who are not hetero, white and male
Not so much “sinful behaviour” as competition for cigarettes which threatens the huge taxes raked off the sale of those cigarettes.
Imagine Fed Gov collectively $hitting its pants if only 10% of smokers suddenly quit.
