I would like to give you some background on me. I am 71 years old and have smoked since I was 13. I quit tobacco 5 years ago and turned to vaping. Before that I was a 4 pack a day cigarette smoker then switched to a pipe while in the Army and smoked 42 years inhaling the pipe. Fortunately my lungs are clear and have not contracted COPD. I found 2 of my best friends dead in their homes. I was the first person to find them. They died 3 years apart. There is a legion of gray haired people who can be of assistance in countering the FDA. The vaping community is ignoring us.
I sit at the VA and see many of my fellow veterans on oxygen and know there are many more who will be in that state in the future. The vaping community is now in the hands of the young and I feel you are destroying the benefits of getting people to quit tobacco. The vaping community is turning into a cult. I am not insulting the community but looking at it from the perspective of one person on the outside looking in.
Do you want the older, gray haired grandpa and grandma's on your side then take a good hard look at the vaping community. Go on YouTube and all you see are wanna be Grimm Greens and Pete(Phil) Busardo's. Some of them need to be strangled to be honest. I would do it but it's only a video. Nick Green changed his format and has also gone over to the dark side.
So if you want to help the vaping community get the Baby boomers on your side. Get Grandma and Grandpa into vaping. You will have them around for much longer and hopefully you never have to see them on oxygen. It is an ugly thing.
Me, criticize me if you want. I don't care. I care about getting people off tobacco and the way I see it the message being given is not a positive one. Thanks for listening .
