Dems want your guns but not your cigarettes!!!

So vaping has been around for what? 10 years tops? I'm just asking! Did cigarettes ever kill anybody in a shorter time? Nah... this sounds like somebody from the tobacco company's paying someone alot of money!!! America is onto your bull$hit!!!

That might have just been pneumonia. Someone should have posted about his before he died.

Big tobacco isn't going down without a fight. It's clear some bribes were made to create this story.

Not really sure why anyone would be surprised - the only thing designed for our lungs is clean air...

👍 Big Tobacco likes this

hiring Andrew McCabe as a political/legal pundit, is like the Girl Scouts hiring Jeffrey Epstein as a girls counselor.

I've been Vaping for 12 years. I have never experienced any harmful effects. The only thing new is legal Pot. They know what the problem is. Stop politicizing Vaping.

They should make these articles when someone dies from smoking cigarettes, there'd be a story every minute.

Popcorn lung...

Are you implying that inhaling chemicals purchased at a gas station or bodega may not be the safest or healthiest thing to do

I'm incredulous that people believe inhaling anything other than air is safe. Lungs are not designed for cigarette smoke or vapours.

Natural selection

JustinRedder84 just saying...

Duh. And WTF is with that image?

Omg the vape industry better hurry and start buying politicians so they can sell death forever and ever.
