Hey Peeps,
I just got done responding to local coverage of the state's attorney general trying to ramrod legislation restricting vaping in Massachusetts. I got all fired up because I found out about it just looking around on this forum & found out about the call to action over HB#3726, which will treat vaporizers as tobacco. I pointed out that it is the same technology as a nebulizer, used by cystic fibrosis and asthma sufferers. Get involved!
I am not yet a vapor, but I am doing a lot of planning for it to begin any time now, because I have recently realized that I can administer medicine and bypass my stomach - a medical necessity - and I quit smoking cigarettes 20 years ago, so I have no intention to vaping nicotine.
Since my vaping is not for nicotine, but for medication, this law unnecessarily restricts my ability to treat myself medically; others use it for fruit-flavors only.
This is exactly how bad laws are passed - punishing innocent victims while accomplishing nothing, acting out of fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD), with no scientific research or oversight. Politicians know that their contributors and voters WHO ACTUALLY VOTE will support their knee-jerk reaction to put stupid laws on the books over and over again.
A vaporizing device is nothing more than a nebulizer, which is not illegal to use. Just ask any victim of cystic fibrosis if they want to have nebulizers banned from everywhere.
Whatever is vaporized is absorbed by the body chemically, and leftover vapor disputes into the air, falling harmlessly on the ground - fully inert, even the strongest of nicotine self-destructs in sunlight.
Really, why can't we pass a good law that don't punish more people than it is supposed to protect? We need a law that says no other law shall be passed unless it can be proven by mathematical modeling that the results of legislation being passed will have the desired effects and that there are no negative consequences that the have refused to consider.
The world would be a better place without stupid laws. The Patriot Act was supposed to be a good law that protected us too - see where that got us?
