  1. Maybe just ask vapers why they do it before drawing any conclusions. I vape because it is theoretically "healthier" but I am also sure to check in on the current research pertaining to vapes. I have yet to see a mechanistic correlation between vaping and higher mortality.

  2. Weed would easily kill more than tobacco or vaping easily.
    I can’t believe this guys thought process. How is the fact that the black market is because weed is illegal. We need more severe punishments for this not just a feeble fine. Rich people are basically exempt already with their assets and money.

  3. This made for TV 'Vaping Apocalypse' was already suspect for anyone who is familiar with the science.
    Both Australia & the EU provide their patients with perscription nicotine e-fluid for smoking cessation. Vaping is ADVOCATED for by DOCTORS, because of the BENEFITS & RESULTS it has delivered for over a decade.

    Due to the fact that e-fluid IS a 'perscribed medicine' there has been RIGOROUS testing run on nicotine vaping.

    Every test, for years has shown vaping to be a miracle- in (cancer, heart disease, etc) prevention, in patients successfully quitting smoking (forever, there has always been 15-30% of patients that simply could never quit smoking regardless, but w/ vaping that number is FINALLY near zero)
    Vaping has been PRAISED as being a 'game changer' in patient health.

    As well as every study citing vaping as 99% less harmful than Tobacco.

  4. Why was any vaping liquid made available on the market without adequate testing? I thought the FDA was supposed to make sure foods and medicines are properly processed and tested before just releasing it for sale to the general public. Releasing it first and using American Citizens as guinea pigs to see if it's harmful is rather reckless, don't you think?

  5. Half the police force would be out of a job & half of the prisons would be empty if weed were legal!! If cops can't say…" I smell weed"….then they won't be able to do all those illegal roadside cavity searches….and we all know how much cops LOVE to have them some illegal roadside cavity searches, right??!! 😳

  6. Are we seriously calling vaping a crisis. Dude, people have been vaping for years, its been popular for years, it wasn't until this year people started dying. That should tell you something is up.

  7. If Big Pharma has their way, costs will continue to drive a black market
    Had the CDC or the media reported the "epidemic" accurately, that might have saved a few lives as well
    Now 95% safer nicotine vaping is on the line, millions of smokers may have just lost access to life-saving technology- but isn't that what Big Pharma & Big Tobacco wanted all along?
    Cannabis needs to be legalized – Bernie plans to do just that!
