Dated oct 8.
The issue it seems is that our data samples aren’t frequent enough.
My data sample was very early and the only people affected were teens. I was contradicted and told there weren’t actually any teen deaths and most of the issues were with older people by, maybe, @Jebbn ? Not sure. It’s in here somewhere. His data sample was later than mine.
I was going by the CDC data, updated every Thursday (so last updated Oct 3) --- the latest death of the NY teenager was just reported yesterday (I posted a followup in the other thread). This new death is also apparently linked to THC carts by health officials (according to the NYpost).

Stop being a victim and quit whining.
I'm not whining or being a victim. On the flip side there are many advantages of my current situation. I accept whatever situation I'm in and I fully know I'm in control of it. As soon as I get my job back I will put in extra days and hours because I don't settle or stay satisfied with things that's below par and compromise my freedom. I didn't mean to chew my cud, didn't need to try and convince three times because the reality is nobody knows unless they really know.

Just so you know there was never a time in my life that I became a victim and there were many times I could have became one. Most people in my shoes would not be living today and I decided to keep moving on and put each situation in a proper perspective. The only way that I was able to survive was to ingrain into my personality that I'm not a person that chooses to whine rather I learn from my past. I am happy I had struggles because I am a much stronger person than the average individual and so I never complain.

Don’t worry about @Don29palms . He’s appears from here to be a radical right wing political activist, and as far as I can tell even older than me.

Ok since you posted more info it still sounds like you're whining about your victimhood.
You know I really like your attitude. With an attitude like yours many will have the ability to be around you and appreciate your company. I know that if I was in a critical situation and you were my therapist I would wind up in the hospital. Take a step back and understand you do not know where others are situated in there mind and words have the power to kill. If you don't understand that you should hopefully one day know that you need to modify your attitude to people and make a change in this world.

Lastly it's imperative to not judge others so quickly because we all have our own shoes that fit us.
Talking about “judgement” to someone who’s avatar is a grim reaper dressed in a confederate flag is probably a lost cause.

You know people can think you're a terrorist because your name starts with bomb
People think all kinds of things. Google apparently thinks I’m a twins fan because my name starts with “bomba”. Facebook thought I was 116 year old woman so all I got was wall to wall ads for yoga pants.

... And to all those that choose to bash me right now over nothing... Please don't continue and make me a victim...

The solution is simple for most. Hope for the best, but plan for the worst. That pretty much covers it all as many have already said. If you cannot devise a way to plan for the worst then you are stuck with hope for the best, with the consequence of causing the anxiety you are now having to deal with.

If you really, really, really can't find a way to protect your own future, then at least become extremely active with the vaping advocacy community to try to effect a difference for yourself and others. You appear to be a grown man so you and you alone control your destiny and I think you are the only one that can solve your problem. So be decisive and pick your path and move forward. That's what adults do.

Words have never killed anyone in the history of the world. Quit feeling sorry for yourself and do something about it.

If it ever comes down into a situation that I cannot vape I still won't turn to cigarettes
