Six people die from vaping and Trump lurches into action.

just on the news that he's making a proposal to ban all assault rifles... I mean flavored vape products.

They have to learn how to start a PAC.

On edit:
It's not even certain what caused those deaths. It's likely from home made cartridges. this is like when the govt found out kids were using LSD and weed. The government published a litany of lies to stop them, including bogus claims of chromosome damage. (Three headed kids!)

Zero of these deaths are connected to "flavored vape products"...none. All are tied to marijuana vaping

Interestingly, that oil ... is Vitamin E.

This has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with nicotine vaping, flavored or not.

And while they may be able to get the big e-cig companies like Blu and Juul from putting out 'flavored' products, they won't be able to stop people who use mods (most people who vape) from flavoring their e-juice themselves. They're just food flavorings, you can't ban their sale.

I'm convinced this whole "we're so worried about the kids" charade is nothing more than a push by big tobacco to corner the markets
