They banned the legal safe ones so everyone will have to use the illegal dangerous versions. That’s one way to get rid of smokers/vapers. 🤪

So why does your article begin with 'Vaping, once thought to be a safe alternative to smoking, is facing increasing scrutiny over an increasingly visible health crisis...'? Why even lead off with that?

Well at least the news is actually covering a problem that exist vs. Law makers banning nic vapes that have not killed anyone. Well other than mechanically.

If ethics is lost in business, we can all go back to wearing belt daggers to remind you that Better Business Bureau isn't the only remedy.

THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO LEGALIZE IT. IF ALL PEOPLE HAD ACCESS TO LEGAL CARTS THIS WOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. NO ONE WANTS TO BUY FROM A SKETCHY SOURCE, IT'S THE ONLY OPTION THEY HAVE!

It’s the same as bathtub gin. This is what prohibition does.

Cool, is this Big Tabacco paying for this? They have a bunch of deadly chemicals in their cigarettes. Seriously though, why the sudden interest and duh, why buy illegal vape? Leaglize cannabis keep vape legal and regulate it. Simple. Banning only helps organized criminals.

Now have them test 15 LEGAL nicotine vape carts for comparison.

You wouldn’t buy counterfeit alcohol...
