Well since you made me look it up lol...it doesn’t sound like single issue voting is expected to be a successful endeavor. I have never been very interested in politics, just a roll with the flow kinda gal. But now that I am paying attention I am floored by the blatant lies and manipulation. Have they always been this transparent?
I was just thinking that a loss of votes would be about the only thing that would hurt these politicians as much as the loss of money. Obviously truth and logical thinking is NOT happening. To the politically uneducated such as me it appears that this is all a smear campaign created by s bunch of bullies.

I believe trump will say its up to the FDA head and not him, so he can dodge the issue.
States are now jumping on board too, so states passing laws will over rule anything that is done on the national level. The only sane one I've heard is the mayor of boston, Marty Walsh.
He said he is cracking down and enforcing the existing laws against underage sales.
He wants flavors to be sold in adults only vape shops and package stores, somewhere that children can't stroll in and purchase. He also wants to include menthol cigarettes and any other flavored tobacco product under this control. He is saying he'll limit convenience stores and gas stations to tobacco cigarettes and tobacco ecigs to help keep it away from underage purchases. The minimum age in boston is now 21. I don't agree with singling out flavors, but it appears they all feel like they have to do something now that the scare is out there enough to effect votes. The media frenzy to blanket the issue as "vaping" and not as vaping tainted illegal substances really took its toll.

No it's not truth nor logical thinking. It is pure strategical thinking on their part. In politics it's always a strategic decision. They are going to always do what helps THEM the most. That may be financially, politically, to aid reelection, or whatever, but it is always a deliberate and calculated action.
Finally a voice of reason! I’m also not in favor of the flavor stance but this is the only guy making sense!
This entire crap storm is about cigarette taxes and the Master Settlement and all those bonds the states sold to Wall Street because the politicians couldn't wait to get their grubby little hands on the dollars before spending it on god knows what. I've seen estimates that since vaping took off that revenue from that cash cow in only 60% of what it was a few years back. They've tried popcorn lung and exploding devices before. Then little snowflake Skippy wanted to hide the fact that he was getting high from Mommy and bought black market garbage off the street for his JUUL and started inhaling who knows what and gave the low life government the false flag they needed to kill vaping. The media (aka the propaganda arm of the DNC/RNC) falls in lock step.
