It's common among advertising and politicians. Cuz it works. Put people in a frenzy and they'll march to your orders. Now excuse me while I turn off my furnace and freeze to death so global warming doesn't kill me.
Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

Wow. So if I don't take a shower every day and forgot my deodorant that morning, I could be a public heath hazard? That's disturbing.
Then again, with all the dna we shed in an average day through normal skin cells falling off (and dandruff can leave a trail of breadcrumbs for miles behind you) and the ever better ability to detect and analyze the slightest whiff, it's becoming unreliable in legal cases. Unless there's a large concentration to work from, it turns out a single person might have whiffs of multiple people on them, all of which can potentially end up at a crime scene. More than one legal case has been lost where dna evidence was all they had but the person has demonstrably shown it was impossible they could have been present, as in solidly hundreds of miles away.
That's when some researchers started looking at trace dna evidence and finding the results so scattered across the board that it wasn't nearly so reliable as originally thought. Turns out that genetic fingerprint isn't as always reliable as a regular one can be.
Now I know that really seems off on some continent spanning tangent until you go back up and check what I quoted. Honest, it really is on topic. Weird as that is, especially for posts from me.
Oh, and if we ever do write or amend the constitution, I really want the chief executive, leader of the free world job to come with strict limitations that they can't have iPhones, Twitter accounts, and they are not allowed to view more than 3 hours of TV a day, including prime time. Maybe a waiver to 3 hours during season premiere week.
Oh, it does disturb, Sir of Eskie. <sniff sniff>
Skin cells and dandruff, a breadcrumb of trails
Vapers non-showered so known whence they hail.
la la la la, la la la la LA...
These are a few of my FAVORITE things.....
Oh, I must. (SUD)
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes.........
WAIT. Not the last one. I truly do not like snowflakes - on my nose or my lashes.
Oh, and Eskerz, 30 minutes of social mania per day will be the limit.
Is this the Redux version of Sound of Music?

Wuss.
I hope it's the "correct" version
I am not the arbiter of correctness but thanks for posting and it certainly works for me.

Teen Vaping Has Created Addicts With Few Treatment Options
"Let them smoke!"
SMH
I agree with my favorite dead president. Judging from the government's actions they want less smoking and they are neutral about vaping.

Interesting that it says this:
The U.S. Surgeon General on Tuesday declared electronic cigarette use among America's youth "an epidemic" and called for new restrictions on the products.
The action comes a day after release of a Monitoring the Future report, which confirmed that teen vaping nearly doubled in 2018, with one in five high school seniors reporting current use of e-cigarettes. More than 3.6 million teens in the U.S. reported that they regularly used the vaping products.
Monitoring the Future is supposed to be a research group. But they continue to make recommendations upon releasing their reports, removing any doubt about whether they could be pursuing an agenda. Here's a snip of their actual report data. They began including vaping in 2015:
Increase? Okay. Epidemic? Well.....what is the definition of epidemic?
And I haven't found the actual questions used in the survey yet, but they could be revealing as well.
If I, as a Bright Eyed 17 Year Old, take 2 Hits off a friends e-Cigarette in the last 30 Days and Don't Like it, and Never Touch and e-Cigarette again, do I come up as the same Numerical Value as my counterpart who Vapes 30ml a Day in this Monitoring the Future Report?
From that:
It isn’t clear what therapies might work for addiction to e-cigarettes like the Juul, whose nicotine is delivered in a different form from regular cigarettes, experts say. In addition, teens with nicotine use disorders often have other mental-health or substance use issues, experts say, and pinpointing which behavioral problems are due to nicotine use alone can be difficult.
(Emphasis mine)
Yep, may have other problems, but let's blame nic...
I'm more interested in what the smoking rates will be in the next few years. If they continue to decline, as they have been among teens despite the "epidemic" there goes the gateway argument, which is their biggest issue to complain about regarding vaping in teens.
But fine. Don't market or advertise to teens and tighten up age verification for sales at gas stations and convenience stores. Then let's see what happens.

Not the next few years- but the trend is here with the use of vaping. Both together from the same Monitoring The Future document. Vaping up = smoking down.
"...approximately two-thirds of Juul users between the ages of 15 and 24 in one survey did not know that Juul always contains nicotine."
For real? Then why are they using them?
Well....according to a Gallup Poll, 69% of millennials would vote for a socialist presidential candidate. Yet 64% don't want a government run economy. So as a group, is there anything they really know?
I'm guessing this one won't make it "above the fold" (is that still a term?), but maybe I'm just cynical.
Strike that. I'm cynical.
