I first noticed 'the big lie' about tobacco years ago before vaping even existed. They kept saying that smoking {cigarettes} was costing the health care system a fortune because smoking was so unhealthy - And at the same time were saying smokers died 8 years sooner {then it was 10 years and now they are up to 12}
DUH??? - If smokers die that much sooner they would be saving a fortune in Medicare, Medicaid and other govt. benefits including Social Security. So to save money they should be encouraging people to smoke cigarettes, right?
Well maybe, just maybe, this is what is behind the current anti-vape campaign with increased regulations on sales and shipping.
Its not your health they want to save, just the opposite - What they fear is a lot of vape users, often former cigarette smokers, will live longer, maybe even much longer - thereby adding to the cost of Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and other govt. programs.

Maybe what they really want is for ex-smokers to go back to smoking so they won't live so long.

Don't believe it?

Remember this: "They may be evil but they are not stupid"

And you can put that in your pipe and smoke it! - But you switched to vaping you say? - Don't worry 'they' will help you back to smoking!!!
