Seriously?

CNN is Alleging that vape Companies are 'Exploiting' the Pandemic.

If the Hypocrisy wasn't so Deep, and brought to You by those who are Supposed to present Fair and Unbiased "News", it would Almost be Comical.

Has anyone actually seen an vape ad that used the pandemic to sell their product? I sure haven't.

IIRC, around March or April 2020 they urged the FDA to immediately ban the sale of all ecigs/vape, claiming nicotine contributes to COVID-19 in some negative manner.

Yet they never urged the FDA to ban cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, etc.

It went nowhere.

But they recently (this month?) again urged the FDA to implement a vape ban.

They are waging war and using the media to gain public support.

You can't get public support for a war unless you spread lies through the media. Media is the biggest, most powerful weapon in any modern war. And they are fully, well-versed in this tactic.

I still haven't got over Baghdad Bob (Mr. Comical Ali)…who kinda reminds me of Faux-chi in many ways.

Good luck.

It's all becoming clear to me now....
I ordered a £50 mod that i didn't actually want so i could get some free £1.99 hand gel.
Boy, do i feel exploited.
True story.
(not a true story)

There is an old tradition in public health to lie for the purpose of getting people to do what public health people decide is best. Public health lied about face masks and freely admitted it. Everybody here knows they've been lying about vaping for years without shame. I follow the nicotine/covid story closely. The news about that comes from researchers. It's discussed by academics and the public. Vape companies are silent on the subject. Even if nic is protective the best choice for never smokers is probably going to be patches. Vaping probably the best choice for smokers.

Um didn't the French (our sworn enemy since they gave a Gallic "Ahahaha" to "Freedom Fries" They might have started calling theme "Merde America Fries" they were so amused.

Well, didn't they say smoking like KILLED THE PANDEMIC??????????????

Why are the tobacco companies not AT WAR currently with the French for all that false advertising? Was it perhaps really NOT false and the tobacco lobby are like scared of the French who despite being smokers remain able to Kill le Rear End in some odd fashion (it is odd??)

Could it be there are not enough masks????

COULD IT BE EVEN MORE SINISTERLY that the vaping companies are waging an all out war on our populace by BUYING up all the masks but selling them to you ONLY as part of a bundle???????

Sacre BLEU!!! God ONLLY knows!!!!!!!!!

Last night Michelle Minton discussed that nonsense with #sonoflibertyradio

Here's the video.
I paused it during that particular discussion but it's set to start somewhere in the middle of it.
Pull that scroll bar around to find the start of that particular discussion.
Go ahead, pull it. Or better yet watch the whole video from the start.

The relevant discussion's start point is somewhat elusive.
She had 2 recent articles and the host switched them at first.
