Said it once and said it twice,government and healthcare should subsidy part of the cost of a vaping starter kit for people that smoke.
If you are a smoker you and on one those days you visit your doctor the doctor should ask you if you smoke, answer is yes he should then hand you a pamphlet with the ins and outs of vaping.
If you chose to try vaping you are then given a card or stamp or whatever that gets you a discount in your local vape shop.
That is of course if the patient can't seem to quit cigarettes by himself,if they can quit cold turkey hey good for them but vaping should be considered a legitimate way to quit smoking.
Each time i read about the problems you folks going thru in the US it really pains me what hoops you have to jump thru so you don't go back to smoking.
Best wishes go out to you guys,hope one of these days the higher ups finally come to their senses.

They are drinking the koolade, zoiD. That's the only think that makes sense. I have never seen such hatred from a group of people who is suppose to govern. And I am not just talking ecigs. It encompasses everything. So glad I am retired and can't be forced to do anything I don't want to.
So how are you doing these days? Its been a while.

I think People see the System as Not having any Guardrails anymore. Where Anything can be Weaponized us against them style.
There used to be Lines that couldn't/shouldn't be crossed just for the sake of Headlines. Or just for Personnel Gain. Because what was Good for Country came First. Those Lines have become Very Hard to Find Today.
Maybe that would be OK if those same People saw the System as getting Better? So they could use an End Justifies the Means logic to Excuse the Blatant Partisanship. But the System Isn't Getting Better. It's getting Worse. And has been for a Long Time.
And a Growing Majority in Both Parties view it as just as Political Theater put on to Get Votes. Or to Take Votes away from Someone Else. But Not Benefiting the Individual.

Me, I'm doing OK. 6's and 7's with an occasional 5 thrown in to Keep me Honest.
Got my 2nd COVID-19 Shot yesterday. And feel a like 1/2 Azzed Today. But Glad to get it Done.
Lets just say that those who are accusing others of the things they say are effecting this country are actually the ones who are promoting most of the hate and division.And dammit--it is working. I see zero effort at unity. Firing people up(where no problem existed) without wanting to have all sides come together to discuss issues is just a farce. Spending all this fake money to fix something that was not broken only serves to keep us under their thumbs(no real help to the people--they just want us to pay for it).
I no longer recognize our country and feel the rest of the world is laughing(as they should be) at the foolishness of it all.
I guess I should stop now before I get in trouble.
I have yet to get my covid shot. My reasons are my health issues and the fact that my sister has had seizures with hers. I spoke to my Dr and she said it was ok if I did not get one. I am basically a hermit these days anyway and follow the masking and six foot rule. Some would probably say I am selfish for not getting one but not all people are alike. I suppose if I was working and around multiples of people I would think differently.
Governor Abbott wants a bill from the Texas Legislature that would allow anyone to carry a handgun without the need for a permit or training. If passed, it will be harder to get e-juice or replacement coils then to buy a 357 S&W Magnum and a box of hollow point bullets. Unreasoned behavior seems to be the norm.
There is no force on earth more powerful than a teenager trying to get his or her hands on a vape pod.

A report published by WHO’s tobacco regulatory committee specifically targets open-vaping which allows “the user to control device features and liquid ingredients”.
The argument put forward by WHO is that people are able to add dangerous substances to these vapes in making them more harmful.
Governments worldwide have reportedly been issued with the recommendation which will be discussed later this year at a conference in Glasgow.

No one can stop tabloids from printing clickbait headlines. Nor can anyone stop the WHO from making arguments against vaping.
You can just choose what headlines or articles you read for information. I myself prefer this one:
WHO Wants To Ban Vaping?
Unfortunately, articles don't have disclaimers like "this is bull
". 
But I will keep that in mind when I come across dailystar articles in the future. I may even just block them entirely on my browser.
Texas is actually vape friendly. The only regulations coming down on us are from the feds. There's no flavor bans or excise taxes. There are indoor bans, but that's based on local laws, not state. Teen problem is the same here as everywhere. That's not going to change as long as you have teenagers.
It's beyond comprehension the vitriol aimed at vaping in the US. It woud be easy to say 'follow the money' but even that doesn't justify or explain the draconian measures currently in play. . . I think it's just the fact that vaping has been made into a political agenda. Everyone trying to prove that they 'care' more than their rivals and all based on hearsay and half-truths. It's showmanship and vaping is the scapegoat.
