Op -
I've seen you go off like this before. I never really had any skin in the game, but this time, even I have to put in my twopence.
You're reaching far beyond the realm of believable with this one. Do you know what's wrong with the idea of an international conspiracy on this scale? It would mean that too many people would have to cooperate. Too many stakeholders in too diverse a series of fields. You would need the willful silence of everyone on the assembly line, not just in china, but in European and American companies. You would need too many lower and middle management to stay silent rather than get their fifteen minutes of fame by blowing the lid off publically.
For the record, I do not work with or for any company, establishment, or entity that makes, distributes, sells, or services any vaping related item, device, gear, or accessory. I am self employed in real estate.
Do you write these long ranting condemnations of all things mainstream vaping after a long night if drinking? The only response I can think of being appropriate can be summed up in 3 words;
Cool story bro.
