Why Target Vaping. Why Not Diet Soda?

[Jman8]

The trouble is, there are no (not-so-)covered interests in keeping people drinking soda.

Because it those interests existed, and people started to switch to mineral water, we would see a lot of "science" regarding the "dangers of mineral water".

I heard there are minerals in anti freeze.

My point: why is vaping being targeted while thousands of other products that are KNOWN to pose health risks getting a pass? It's hypocritical. The war against smoking and vaping is and never was about health.

The war against smoking and vaping has little to do with public health and a lot to do with corporate tyranny, controlling the public by slowly taking away our human rights.

Vapers are a minority and it is easier to promote fear of something that most people know virtually nothing about.

Big Pharma and Big Agribusiness (including soda) OWN the FDA. No, not literally, I'm not an idiot. But in every sense except literally, they own the FDA. You would see e-cigs still targeted first if there was some cyanide added to Coca-Cola.

Diet soda causes cancer hey? So do chemtrails and Obama's lizard overlords.

The key here is that the dose makes the poison. Over indulgence in pretty much anything has health risks.

Show me the diet soda label that tells the consumer how much of each ingredient is in there. Cause I can show you an eLiquid label that lists ingredients. So that reasonable request you note is, in at least some cases, covered in the world of ejuice.

Weird.... here's a diet 7up label that shows the ingredients.

Nearly all jurisdictions ban possession of tobacco by minors. Those laws are never ever enforced anywhere. Public official who say they want to discourage kids smoking but don't call for enforcement of possession laws have to be hypocrits.

Did you know that diet soda can cause Type 2 diabetes, seizures, loss of kidney function, various cancers, and most ironically of all, obesity?

Could you please cite your sources for this information?

Obama has the same lizard overlords that the last president did and the same as the next one will have.

Really, it shows how much of each ingredient is in there? I'd like to see that. Post a pic please.

Bonus points if the diet soda label shows exact amounts of chemical compounds. Pretty sure you'll never post that pic.
