Let's be honest, vaping is one of the few issues I really care about. (Other than finding a job, but, you know what I mean.)
It's going to turn into a hot-button issue over the next few years, and I'm wondering if some fellow forum members could offer their insights into this.
Let's say a group of Senators wants to author a bill about e-cigs. They bring it to the floor. Would Feingold follow his party's lead and try to ban vaping on a nationwide level? Or would he go against them like he says he would in his ads? Would Johnson do the "conservative" thing and defend our right to vape? Or would he cave in to Big Tobacco lobbyists and support such a bill?
At a more local level... What would happen statewide? We've already seen so many states ban vaping and e-cig supply sales. Would Barrett inflict a ban? Would Walker argue against one?
What can we learn from these candidates' past voting records and past statements? [ETA: I just moved back to Milwaukee last year after living in Louisiana for six years. I'm not as familiar with these candidates as I would like to be.] Wondering if anyone here has some insight.
(Okay, vaping and vapers' rights is not going to be THE make-or-break issue for me when I cast my vote... But it IS important to think about! They took away our right to smoke in bars FFS... That was bad enough...)
