Don't forget about Big Pharmaceutical, loosing money on crappy products like nicotine gum, patches and horrible drugs like zyban and chantix
Oh, I haven't forgotten them. It's the same racket as medicine and cancer research which I mentioned earlier.
With vaping; Pharma loses, state and feds lose, doctors lose, the "good samaritans trying to get people to quit (all the public service groups and charitites)
lose MONEY. And MONEY is what all this comes down to.
Sure, some people are genuinely concerned about our health..because they haven't been properly informed
but the majority of the folks with any kind of power don't care whether we live or die.
What they care about and want is our money.
They want us to believe that vapor has to be taxed like tobacco because vapor causes
the same kind of damage that tobacco does and therefore they need the money to safeguard
our health or give us treatment when the vapor makes us sick. Nonsense.
I'm sure you're familiar with Jonathan Gruber, the guy who helped write the affordable care act and his statements that the legislation
was written in a way as to go over the head of all us stupid Americans. Well hello. That's the way all the propaganda is written, counting on the fact
that most working class citizens won't understand jack. Who has the time to research and look for the truth when most people are working to make ends
meet and then try to relax in their spare time, if they have any, by being hypnotized by the boob tube?
How many of the folks you know are fluent in legalese?
