It's like saying that eating exposes eaters to many different substances for which we have little information about related harms -- including salmonella, various fats and oils, meat products that have not been approved by the USDA and Tide pods (can't forget about those). Since we cannot guarantee complete safety from eating, all eating should cease. Government, in its ultimate wisdom, will let you know when you can start eating again.
With full respect, no it isn't "like that".
There's other sources of nic, and vaping isn't eating: eating is as important long term as breathing. Technically, if we locked you in a room, with food and water and no vape, you'd live.
And we know more about salmonella, meat, etc. Tide pods, IDK, but they're not designed to be eaten.
Look. I get that we're all mad. Me too. And I don't buy into the flavor ban, vaping ban, or anything. It's just that to me, the CDC's approach is very different than the rest of the stuff. And that "stuff" includes two things, the illness crisis and the "save the children" agenda.
I want to know that the CDC is handling things properly, not politically. And the reasons I want to make sure I'm not confusing things and departments is this: I expect the CDC to be able to track contaminants in the supply chains properly and without bias or judgement. Of course they operate often with an abundance of caution.
But even if I think my romaine lettuce is safe, I'm not surprised if the CDC (or even the FDA) says "throw it out, too dangerous right now".
