Oh I can focus just fine if the time is right. You'd be shocked. I would however, answer any question asked truthfully, so I think that means my stay would be short because I would be dead.

For goodness sake, Anna, we wouldn't want THAT!!!

Forget it. You lost my vote.




* Yes, I know we don't elect the position in question.

Can we still say, "Kids"? I've totally lost track of which words we can or can't use.

Go old school (e.g., sprats, whippersnappers, tykes, shavers, nippers). People won't understand you well enough to take offense.

New York Gov. Cuomo announces emergency executive action to ban sale of flavored e-cigarettes

Misery loves company, I guess.

 

[Sloth Tonight]

Figures. His own DoH says the issue is illicit cartridges, and this is how he reacts.

Here's another article about it: Gov. Cuomo bans flavored e-cigarettes in New York after vaping illnesses, deaths

From the article: "Earlier this month, federal and state researchers said they believed the vaping illnesses are connected to a vitamin E acetate found in some illicit cannabis vaping products"



He also recently raised the legal smoking/vaping age to 21. This is absurd. But it's not unlike Cuomo. (source: upstate NY'er)

There is no logic to all these crazy vaping reactions. Why aren't they being honest, because they don't want to. They don't want to address the THC vape oil problem.

Teen Vaping: All You Need to Know As A Parent

Based on a study conducted in 2016 on the online e-liquid industry. Tests on how online sales to minors were conducted. The results were dismal. Out of 120 internet vendors who were selling vape products online. Only 4 of them were able to stop teens from making illegal purchases on their site.

Clearly more has to be done.

But with the boom of eCommerce sites like Amazon and eBay. And how easy it is to sell on these platforms, the methods of purchasing anything is a mouse click away.

This is typical of most problems and issues we face. Our government blames the wrong thing and implements not only the wrong solution but harms innocent others in the process. What's worse is they know this but it doesn't matter to them. It only matters if there is political expedience to their decisions.

Yeah, internet bans are next.

And I'm way past blaming politicians. It's the voters who put these disingenuous, low-lives back in office every election.

One problem is there is usually not a good candidate so folks choose based on one issue or their belief system. It is always a 2 party only race.

Foxs "The Journal" just did a very good piece on ecigarettes and the FDA, including telling viewer's that it's cannabis products doctored with Vitamin E acetate that's what's causing the recent spate of illnesses and deaths and not nicotine ecigarette products. They also mentioned ecigarettes being a good option for harm reduction for smokers, and that the problem of teen vaping isn't necessarily the government's job, but rather parents, and education about ecigarettes.

They said that banning flavors won't help, and will simply drive kids to black market products which aren't good for them, and cause adult smokers to go back to smoking, which also isn't a positive thing.

I was impressed with the piece, overall.

I'm starting to think "the system" chooses our candidates for us, via media influence and money, and political decisions.
So no matter which one you choose, you loose.

Campaign finance reform, issue #1.

My hubby, (ex smoker does not vape), told me today that no one cares about vaping except vapers. He is probably right. I told him it is not the act of vaping but what is being vaped that is the problem, oils, Vit E and THC.

But then there are usually numerous candidates in the primaries but no one pays attention. That's why turnout for primaries is so low. No one cares.

If they don't care about vaping then they need to shut their mouths about smoking too.

To be clear, THC has been vaped for years--many, many years. It's not the issue any more than nicotine is. (ETA for extra clarity: THC products seem to be the issue. I'm just saying that THC itself is not, or does not appear to be. I think we need to be really clear on this)

Hurry! Hurry!

We have to Ban it before the Public Figures out that Vaping Nicotine Isn't the Problem.

There are so many people jumping on the anti-vaping bandwagon. It's become a popularity contest.
