Seems like they have also removed all vape stuff from eBay now as well.

My reliable vendor list largely for new vapers reluctant to place orders abroad is mostly delisted or defunct.
Legit accessory makers and resellers will be also be harmed by the loss of traffic.
Pathetic political intrusion into personal commerce on the part of eBay.
This is what happens when you give irresponsible children sophisticated dangerous toys.
There ought to be a law.
They're on my sh!!thole list for the duration.

Good luck. :|

To be fair as far as ebay, that's kind of a public service right there.

So now what, everyone "lets go?" I think that is the dumbest app of all time plus everyone (except millennials and I don't want their stuff) still uses Craigslist.

LOL I will never forget like, 15 people coming to try and buy the $800 dollar working new VW bug. I mean.... Sort of working.

It had like, 70 cigarette burns in it , I deliberately drove it through a wash I knew it couldn't handle to kill it because I hated it so much, and someone (most likely a teen I worked with) carved the F thing on it, and it was ALL BLACK, and people were calling their mechanics and tempers were rising... People get NUTSO about those cars.

LOL, it might have been more mature of me to just say, "I am trading this in for another car" but that is not what happened. I don't think I would have gotten $1050 bucks for it for trade in frankly. It was one of those "heat of the moment" things where everyone FREAKED.

Someone noted elsewhere, but the more I reflect the truer it seems. Big tobacco bought Blu, Juul, etc. and deployed mass-market advertising and distribution. Unsurprising under-age vaping spiked which drew FDA rebuke. However, now "anti-tobacco groups" seem to be pushing governments to blindly ban non-tobaccos "for the sake of children". Yet the outcome will eliminate much of big tobacco's competition, groom children to smoking cigarettes, and cause ex-smokers to relapse.

Hmmm....

Sounds like a plan to me, the New Puritans and the tobacco industry come together, sort of like the bootleggers and some of the teetotaler churches in Kentucky as they prepare for the day of the county wet-dry vote. One group understands the plan, the other group with the very very best of intentions is the victim of the plan.

Yeah, one does. LOL. I am super mellow compared to what I used to be.

This one "cross country" trip, like, the poor husband I was "batty" but for some reason I had to come back east (maybe to get away from my mom and/or make sure the kid was returned) and we stayed in this crazy "motel from hell" with like 500 stray dogs and I wanted to adopt five of them. This was not permitted. The motel lady was like, "Sure, honey, take as many as you want.) I also jumped out of a moving vehicle because I, well I called it "annoyed" the husband called it something else, and THREW my wedding ring into a field of corn, (I believe this happened multiple times.) The husband decided to take a different street, after I jumped out to cool down so I could like "walk." I was unharmed but as I have noted I am GOOD at falling. You gotta roll in a smooth motion is what you gotta do.

Well, unbeknownst to the husband I ran into this roving band of gypsies (it was like the middle of nowhere) and ALMOST decided to "go with them." But then I was like, "Well I should probably get my MEDS first." So I did not. I like to think my life would have been even more interesting had I done so, but no Mr. A had the "high road" (Hmm... in more ways than one) and I was like, "I could have left you for a roving band of gypsies you know! I hate you!"

He was like, dryly, 'No. You could not. I could see you the whole time. I would have cut them off."

I told him I loved him with great passion and fervor and he should probably hold on to the ring until I was a bit more sane.

Mr. A says there is ONE good thing about mania and it starts with S and ends with X, but I say HE DESERVES IT. Because in between like, well, l called them "disagreements" and he called them "the ravings of a lunatic wife," we sort of had some fun that trip. That is all I will say.

...... my name in a cornfield did not occur to me, but I don't think I really needed to, I was doing Just Fine as a youth. I was like, 26 but my brain never hooked up right so, eh.

Golly don't miss those days at all.

This was interesting

"Trump in September pledged harsh new restrictions on flavored vapes, blamed for the uptick in teen use. But the effort has put the FDA into the center of a political tug-of-war, caught between the president's promised crackdown and vocal resistance from conservative allies and officials in the White House, who worry a crackdown will hurt Trump's reelection effort."

First I've heard about resistance from the conservative side. Or worries about it affecting his reelection. People here have talked about I Vote, I Vape and all that, but I always figured it was a forlorn effort.

That's a site with real DC readership. With trepidation and sadness I yielded years of anonymity to the surveillance capitalists, logged onto screwbook and posted comment.

If you use facebook, please like my comment on the above articla so we might catch a few eyes that matter. Should be around the third comment and begins with "The flavor ban is the trifecta"
Done

Yeah, ban flavored vapes. In the meantime, new headlines:

Fentanyl found in unregulated vape cartridges in other states. ‘Just a matter of time’ before it comes to Utah
(...) Friday, Besser read an alarming DEA intelligence report stating fentanyl had been found in unregulated vape cartridges" (...) “We are starting to see fentanyl make its way into the vaping industry, and we see that we are definitely going to see the death counts go up,” he said.

Are they all blind? Stupid? Unwilling to admit what's really going on? How is banning
innocuous nicotine eliquids, which have been used by millions worldwide for over 12 years without ever causing a death or illness, going to help with this current health crisis brought on by tainted illicit cartridges?

Sometimes I just want to scream.........

    Vaping will be seen as the problem because they use same or similar devices as ours.

    Me too! The only thing we can do is to call the White House, Azar, our Senators, Congressmen and pray a lot.
