Yet you want to contaminate our water realDonaldTrump every day you sink lower and lower. You are a lousy genius

This is the vaping equivalent of the shoe bomber. Just proves when there’s a will, there’s a way. Just not with gun control.

Is e-cigarettes the new name for semi automatic weapons? Way to have your finger on the pulse.

Who is he kidding? A handful of illnesses, and he thinks he can wave his magic hand and suddenly they’re banned? Millions...literally millions...of deaths attributed to smoking, and guess what, you can still buy them.

Not true! He is requesting the FDA recons the waiver.

It took only 6 people to move this fast. Yet the Republicans sacrifice countless 'pro-life' children on the alter of guns.

My vape is actually a tactical, detatchable flash suppressor for my ar-15, so its protected under the 2nd amendment

Translation: ecig lobbyists, hope you brought your checkbook.

Let them smoke DTOM

There is no crisis. You know better. Why are you engaging in FUD?

Trump makes Libs (progressives) love an untested nicotine vapor delivery device. The new fast acting, overdosing, gum flavored, self inducing USB driven death stick.

But it’s not e-cigs it’s the black market marijuana cartridges so I’m confused.

Fruity Vapes don’t kill people, “people” allow themselves to become addicted. Mental health training should nip this in the bud. We should a let the outage wane a little.

Swift and bold action to eradicate the least likely way to die.

Take a stand against military style weapons killing citizens and neighbors within the U.S.!

But can’t get rid of guns 😐

They'll come back in the end phase.

How many people have died from alcohol and cigarette-induced illness again?

You’re not honestly reporting on these vaping issues you conflate several issues

Vaping has caused less illness and deaths than Trump’s concentration camps.

Everyone knows vapeing is a mental health issue. These kids will just be able to get vapes on the black market and now we will have fewer good guys with vapes!

Assault weapons create death and illness.

How about Assault Weapons, Mr Trump?

Just ban video games!!

Time to go back to cigarettes...

This is such crap! I mean yeah get rid of the vapes, but don’t think we are going to approve of you ever!!! We have some serious GUN issues that won’t be swept under the rug!!!

Thank God. People’s lungs are getting trashed by this unsafe product. And I don’t want to breathe second hand toxic vape.

Always funny when the answer to problems like this are: make your product less appealing

Vape pens are just a tool. If you get rid of vape pens people who want to use them will vape some other way. We just need some of those thoughts and prayers gun advocates are fully stocked with.

Over 6 deaths? Cause we can’t have kids dying by vapes, we got guns to do that

Or, if you look at who loses when vaping is a big deal--tobacco producers. Maybe some powerful Republicans told Donald vaping was hurting his 2020 chances in their states.

Vapors vape voluntarily, most people dont voluntarily get shot....so now, do this with semi automatic weapons

Hand slaps forehead....guns...assault rifles.... extended magazines....

So, realDonaldTrump what about those automatic weapons that have been used to murder hundreds of people? They have killed more people - young people than those vaping devices. Vaping is a CHOICE. Death by murder IS NOT.

morberplz

Trump will reverse this move as soon as the e-cigarette companies make a few stays at a bedbug-ridden resort of his.

But assault weapon sales will continue to flow like water out of retail establishments. I’m sure that makes sense to Dumb Sh_t Don and his political puppets, as they continue to line their pockets from the NRA!

When will they take assault rifles off the market?

assaultweapons

So they will do this but still nothing about the gun problems. 🤦🏻‍♀️

All the gun remarks here. If only you all cared as much about actually enforcing the gun laws on the books and working on making sure the systems work. But by all means, add more laws that nobody enforces.

Alas if only guns were as deadly as vapes. Halfwits are in charge of my country.

You might want to ease up on the accelerator. Consider the days realDonaldTrump said he'd take action on gun control or background checks only to walk back the plans, Give this time for lobbyists to push their case before predicting action.

Quick somebody make a cherry flavored ar-15

How many thousands have died

But no measurable effort on guns Disgraceful Distasteful

and yet the guns that kill thousands...

But it is the people doing it that are the problem, not the e-cigs. Why don’t we punish the people?

And does nothing about guns

But not assault weapons ?

The founding fathers smoked and ur telling me “big gov” knows better than them? There’s a 100% chance Ben Franklin would be vaping right now if he could.

Wow! Something I actually agree with! Shocking.

We will see how far that goes. The lobbyists will come knocking at Trump’s door. trump ecigarettes

Trump Vapes hitting stores this Friday

Shots fired at bernie bros.

Geez if only they’d take action against GUNS!!!!

But what about all those people who died from gun violence? Oh yeah....thoughts and prayers.

Doesn't the vaping industry have an NRA working for them?

And umm, guns?

Guns, on the other hand....
