Last one for me was 6 weeks plus. Although cargo flights are operating, there is a lot of lost capacity on belly freight normally loaded on passenger flights which have been cut dramatically . Not to mention people not getting to work in some places.

Edit #1 Tobacco smoking is at an all time low. Other substances, not so much. Edit #2 Those of you who use ecigs legally as adults are out of luck. Since we are unable to enforce our laws, we must ban! Cigarettes, alccohol, and the afore mentioned substances excepted.

Not really news here, but WSJ has a small article on CDC findings about the explosive epidemic. They tested non smokers, smokers, and nicotine vapers for issues that recently made headlines. The only group that showed the issues with vitamin E were THC users, no issues with the other groups...

Churchill was talking about the America of 70 years ago. Doubt he would have the same view today.

There is a reason for that. The U.K. Seems to recognize the painfully obvious. Vaping and lung disease in the US: PHE’s advice - Public health matters

True enough. I think there is a huge difference IMHO between the two, but heading there would be way off topic. I have had my say and will now be quiet.

You may like the program, Anna, frankly I do not. It normalizes drug use, and if you want to find something that kids will think is alright, this is it. Many of those free syringes wind up on the streets after use. Some of them are left on subway and transit seats infecting innocents. Trust me...

Yet many of the same politicians are happy to hand out free syringes.

Article in today's WSJ that public officials are now worried all the negative vaping stories are leading a return to cigarettes among adults and young people. (Who would have thought). The article also states the CDC has revised its warning to only THC products used in vaping. (Surprise to me)...

Actually THC is not being demonized, always mentioned in the third or fourth paragraph, sometimes, after the vaping is the devil headline. WE are being demonized.

Just a news report on tonight about 100 plus deaths per day on opioids. After all the ink and bandwidth spilled on vaping over the last couple of months, I am reminded of a quote from the infamous Josef Stalin. One death is a tragedy, millions merely a statistic.

Visited the beer store today. They had their full lineup of flavored beer, strawberry, lemonade, etc on display. Even Latte!

Very true. The problem is one of the other parties hates us, the other could not care less. If the libertarians can peel off enough votes to gobble up the victory margin for one, even if they don't win, we have an impact. Otherwise we just sit here and watch it happen. If there is no...

Heather MacDonald wrote in the WSJ Friday about drugs and homelessness in San Francisco. As part of that piece, she points out the Health Department distributes 4.5 million syringes per year along with alcohol swabs and vitamin C to dissolve certain substances. Also provided are instructions on...

Law enforcement long ago lost the ability to enforce the endless stream of new laws passed by legislatures every year. Let me know when you see someone pulled over for cell phones, texting, etc. Even supposedly illegal substances are regularly overlooked and "decriminalized".

The Wall Street Journal editorial page chimed in on the vaping crisis on Friday the 13th appropriately enough. They mused how the same politicians and suburban parents can support the legalization of a certain substance, a very large issue in schools, and at the same time go into orbit over...

I will not even comment on this one. Melania versus the Vapers

Romney now saying all vaping "devices" should be recalled. How long before they make the mere act of vaping illegal? Think it can't happen? They are on a roll.

Heard on the radio this morning Cuomo heading the same way with the State. The stampede is on.

He is the second ranking Democrat behind Chuck Shumer and would be next in line for either minority or majority leader depending on who controls the Senate. As others have pointed out, he has a thing about vaping and wants it banned completely. So maybe just one Senator, but a powerful one...
