Vaping in the brave, new world.

[gipper]

This whole anti-vaping crusade by our criminal federal government should tell all Americans that our government is a big joke. It is bought and paid for by the billionaires and their huge corporations.

The FDA approves all sorts of harmful drugs, but oh that awful vaping. WTF!

The vaping manufacturers forgot to pay Uncle Sam, so down they go.

We are a banana republic.

Research is underway that indicates inflammation plays a key role in changing cell mutations that lead to many cancers including pancreatic cancer. Smoking and vaping are common triggers for inflammation because they introduce chronic irritations to the respiratory system which leads to inflammation. Why expose humans to a new addictive practice that mirrors the life-shortening outcomes of tobacco use? Answer: money.

The temperance movement was always protestant based. Your fixation on the German thing is odd, but I figure it has to do with one of your various hatreds.

Guy, it was always a fringe movement... that was the point. No one took it seriously until the Protestants used World War I to paint it as 'You know who likes alcohol? THE DAMNED GERMANS!!!" Then people realized that the moral prudes meant their booze, too. When dealing with Al Capone just made matters worse, they repealed the 18th Amendment.

The positives of a safer alternative to smoking outweigh the negatives of a small percentage of vapers having bad reactions

Wouldn't it have been a little better to just test these things a bit more to make sure they weren't dangerous before putting them out in the market?

Plenty of States and localities had their own prohibition before the feds did it, and plenty kept it after it was repealed.
