MA ban is getting annoying!!

[Yaker]

So the ban started with a health emergency and ended with a permanent ban on flavors and a 75% tax. Politics and money, how else can it be explained? Makes my head spin.

Wonder what response will be when the smoking rate of teens and adults skyrocket following this?

They will give us the logical fallacy, "vaping is a 'gateway' to cigarettes".

Yep, that was "set up" before this whole fiasco started. Grrrrrr.......

Or they'll just blame "nicotine addiction" and while true, they won't acknowledge their own role in vilifying vaping and driving people over to smoking instead.

Simple.

Just Screw with the Numbers. Just like they are Now to Inflate things, they can do the Same thing only to Deflate things.

And the Ultimate Fall Back is to just say that e-Cigarettes have "Hooked" a generation. And when we took Nicotine away from these Addicted Children, it forced them to go to Pay Cigarette Taxes smoke Cigarettes.

EightVape just announced tonight they are shipping "Non-Flavored Vape Products" to MA. So I guess that means all hardware and maybe tobacco flavored juice (cuz y'know, tobacco flavor isn't a flavor lol).

When Massachusetts Banned Christmas

So just realize who we're dealing with here.

Nailed it. Just saw a commercial the other day with a few teenagers hanging out and one was a magician. First he held a ciga-like in his hand then magically transformed it into a cig. Message was Vaping leads to smoking among teens.

Let me guess, MA is banning e-cigs but won't touch the much more deadly traditional cigarettes. Amirite? I would respect them much more if they banned it ALL, but they won't. Ask yourself why not and then you'll see it's not about health, but about the $$$$$$ in tax revenue.

Well, he's banning menthol cigarettes and all menthol tobacco. But like you said, there's more to it than health. If it was about health all cigs would be banned, correct? It's all a load of crap full of misguided, uneducated, slimy, scheming politicians.

O-M-G !!! I hope I never see that, I'll lose my mind.

So the latest is that MA has recognized (from their investigations) that the tainted carts came from the legal cannabis shops. You know, the ones who were not included in the ban? So now the CCC (Cannabis Control Commission) has shut down operations in order to get things in order. They are setting up some type of program to test for vitamin E acetate in cartridges. Yet, vape shops have been destroyed and no mention of that. Some BS about the testing will cover all vape related cartridges. They're obviously building defenses against their reckless destruction of peoples' lives. They even have a public health official specializing in pulmonary diseases taking polls of before and after. Oh how they are paddling backwards to save their behinds.

There has already been mention about an uptick in cigarette sales in MA and a surge of vape sales just over the border in NH.

I heard that one of the surviving vape shops has to now sell cigs. I think Marijuana also.
Here in Pa a new shop is like that also. Weird. Harley Davidson is trying to sell electric bikes to stay alive. How things change...

 

[UncLeJunkLe]

Why doesn't the MA govt get it over with and just ban everything that goes into making and using an ecig?

- Plastic
- metal
- cotton
- VG
- PG
- silicone
- screws
- hot clue
- all electronics
- solder
- wires
- etc

This way they can be sure no one vapes. Not very bright, are they?

Yup, that's the commercial. Ugh!

 

[vaper1960]

Well, I'm not in MA... still like to follow this thread. That commercial is total BS propoganda. Hang in there folks... we are all here to help each other get through these crazy times.

This just makes me sick. Not that I wanted to see it but thanks for making it known so we can not forget what we're fighting against.
