I applaud the efforts to stem the vaping craze even after a mere six deaths. I only wish we had learned to act this quickly with other far more deadly “products”. But the money’s so good, you know?
If action was taken so quickly on vaping, why can’t congress act so quickly on the thousands of children and adults who are killed by GUNS? B R I B E M O N E Y
Trump seems to be in support of banning flavored vapes. It’s a start. I look forward to not sitting in traffic and smelling burnt fruit from the car in front of me.
Jun 24, 2019 – In recent months, at least seven children have either died in custody or after being detained by federal immigration agencies at the border. … 20-year-old woman who was shot and killed by a Border Patrol agent in May 2018.
Melania got involved in the anti-vaping movement because (as trump said), she has a son, a beautiful, young man. That’s SHE has a son. Maybe Melania should get ‘involved’ in gun control.
Goodness me! Where are all the cries from the righties? “Nanny government, telling us what we can and can’t do!” Do I detect a dichotomy? Or is it hypocrisy?
The six deaths (so far) appear to be from people who were using off-brand vape pens filled with homemade concoctions of random oil and concentrated pot. The cartoon’s about the big vape companies whose products won’t kill you right away. Or maybe not at all. But there’s research showing links between vaping and breathing problems like COPD. And like the fusillade of ads and public service announcements bombarding us say….nicotine is addictive and it’s brain poison.
Some of the actors who played the Marlboro man have died of lung-related disease… though in most cases their age at death was approximately normal for men born in their birth year.

And yes, puffing on one of those DOES look as stupid as you might imagine it does.

Vaping caused 6 deaths. So when is Trump going to ban AR-15s?

Five killed with E-Cigs suspected. Sixty-one dead from assassin gun bullets this year. Which one will inspire CONgressional action?

The vaping industry better start making financial contributions to the republican party if they hope to survive.

Boy, I bet if the big tabacco companies controlled the vaping industry, Trump wouldn’t dare touch the subject.
