Oh go pick an argument with someone else on Reddit. Don’t pretend you care about public health. I don’t see you screaming about alcohol or tobacco being banned? I’m saying don’t ban it for everyone. Kids aren’t supposed to be doing it anyway. If I, a grown ass adult, choose to vape in order to not smoke cigarettes,…

I never bought cigarettes online from China. And did you miss the part where I quit cigarettes?  KIDS should NOT be vaping, PERIOD.  The age limit was already there for a reason.  The government is a piss-poor parent, but if regulation makes you feel better, then I’m all for it.  But to ban it because of poor…

Yes, they do.  In the kids where this so called epidemic took place, they were vaping black market products first off, and secondly said products contained THC....they also contained Vitamin E oil, which is fine for exterior use, or even in pill form as a supplement (again, from a GNC, etc., not from some guy on the…

Actually, I do know.  I’m friends with the man who runs my local vape shop, and I’m aware how it’s made and what goes into it.  Regulate it all you want, in fact I welcome someone taking the THC and black market vapes off the market all together.  Again, these kids vaped THC, not just nicotine.  But just to outlaw…

Yes, I do have common sense, Internet Comments Hero. When I started smoking, the info on bad effects wasn’t readily available. Yes, I continued after I knew, because no one had taught me any coping skills to deal with anxiety and cigs helped. I didn’t do it to be cool, or trendy or because it tasted good like kids…

Thank you. That was my only point.  Tobacco and alcohol haven’t been outlawed (at least alcohol hasn’t since Prohibition was lifted); the law was already there for a reason and the kids broke that law.  No one exerts any common sense, they just want to be Internet Comments Hero.  

I looooove Michael K.  Yes, I’m a long time lurker and I never post anything there, I just laugh at the comments section.  I’d get my ass handed to me if I ever tried to post, and I’m aware of it!

When people use nicotine patches, or gum, we say they’ve quit smoking.  What’s the difference?  All I know is I no longer have asthma or any respiratory illnesses since I switched.  Gum, etc., didn’t work for me because I’m a twitchy nervous person who needs to keep my hands busy.  NOW, I will say this.  I do treat it…

They are looking to ban vaping altogether, at least in Texas. Yet they never did with cigarettes. Texas, and other states, just upped the age to 21 too. They already had it at 18, and 14-17 year-olds were doing it. Because people follow rules so perfectly....

After 20 years, I ONLY quit smoking after I started vaping. The media is hyping this up. Don’t take away my vape because parents didn’t watch their kids. Number one, the smoking age was 18 to begin with, so what are these kids doing vaping? Two, all of the cases so far were THC, NOT straight nicotine. Three, you can…
