'We'd lose everything.' SC lawmaker's plan to end lung illness could kill vape shops
Weeks before scientists with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention determined the origins of a mysterious vape-related injury that has killed dozens of people, South Carolina Rep. Wendell Gilliard vowed to introduce a bill to ban the legal sale of e-cigarettes and similar products...

“I don’t think that they’re 100 percent sure,” Gilliard said.
Gilliard said it is best to remove the products from the public market until more is known about the outbreak of injuries and the health-related effects of vaping.
