Vape Ban

[Katie Mcdonald]

Why are they pushing a ban on vaping and not cigarettes?

Why is the government trying to ban vape and not cigarettes?

They don’t necessarily want to ban vaping. They just want to continue to get paid by their big tobacco and big pharmaceutical buddies.

I quit trying to figure it all out but like every problem I have ever seen, it comes down to greed somewhere.

Glad to have you here!

Should I click 'sad', 'funny', 'winner' 'love' or 'agree'?

I wish there was a sad button. I’d wear that thing out faster than a pair of DP’s polyester slacks.

When in doubt select the rainbow.

But I am not 'optimistic' about the relationship between elected officials, industry regulators and the industry regulated.

In that case, I’d use the “tool” button.

I can hear you, ya know.

It can be useful

Bottom line...money. vapers don't pay politicians like the big tobacco or the big pharma does, yet we take away from both of their bottom line, so we have to go. Outright banning it wouldn't work near as well as this slow death by a thousand cuts.

Not at all, but feel free to use it on any of my posts

Oops btw - the rolled up sock goes in the front pocket, not the back .

Thank you

Why are they pushing a ban on vaping and not cigarettes?

Another reason is taxes. The federal excise tax for cigarettes is about $1.00 per pack and my state tax is another $0.37 per pack. Vaping basically is just sales tax in my state (6% of the sale price). It isn't so much that they want to ban vaping as they are protecting their existing tax revenues.

I also have two kids so it makes me nervous that it is just as bad
