My heart is breaking for vape shop owners across the country. My heart is breaking for vapers across the country, but I think my heart is breaking most of all for the SMOKERS that now believe ( thanks to our very own government and media ) that

Why is 21+ and ID checks good enough for Liquor and tobacco, yet not good enough for vapor products? Enforcing laws we already have seems like a no brainer to me.

A big part of me is still convinced the real reason that vaping sticks in their craw so much is that we enjoy doing it.
It’s like they feel smokers should be shamed or punished ( or taxed ) into quitting.
Rather than quit with enjoyment and a supportive community.

I got an email recently from a subscriber that is now of age to vape (22) But he started watching in 2011. Do the math.
He was a youth smoker, turned youth vaper, and has now been tobacco free for 8 years.
Everything he did was illegal, and he is healthier for doing it.

Despite causing roughly 5,000 underage deaths yearly. There has never been talk of banning flavored liquor products. They are regulated ( like ENDS /

I can't think of a better word than insane right now. But it is INSANE how far the USA is going to protect tobacco cigarettes.

It is entertaining to me that we have prescription drugs on the market with side effects like "birth defects, blood clots, violent behavior, death"

If a product came to market that made child birth 95% less harmful It would be celebrated the world over.
When a product comes to market and makes smoking 95% less harmful, it gets banned.
Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States

Addiction is literally the last leg any of the anti-vapers have to stand on. They know it’s not as harmful, it has no carcinogens, no tar, no combustion, no smoke, no additives, no poison.
Are they just mad at addiction because it’s an addiction, regardless of the harm?

I feel like we should stop exaggerating the number of vapers “we” are. 10-13 million nationwide is incredibly impressive.
If each one of those 10 million people only avoided one pack of cigarettes, it would equal 200 Million cigarettes not smoked.
