Lol Mango flavored Vapes get banned, but AR-15s need no regulation. Republicans are dumb.

I don't smoke e cigarettes, but this is kind of ridiculous. What's next, banning flavored vodka because it might be more appealing to kids? Not to mention the recent deaths have nothing to do with e cigarettes, and are actually caused by bootleg marijuana cartridges that contained Vitamin E Acetate. Not that this administration cares about facts.

takeda-shingen: you are playing the tricks of gun advocates when whining there are more car deaths per year than mass shootings.

Vaping and gun control are 2 separate issues and shouldn’t be mixed or played against each other’s.

I'm not playing them against each other. Simply pointing out the hypocrisy of the administration for banning flavored vapes over one death, whilst turning a blind eye to the 10s of thousands of gun death every year.

the president said he and First Lady Melania Trump were worried as parents about the wave of illnesses that has sickened hundreds and left several teens in induced comas.

Think how many will die without access to free healthcare.

Even with healthcare many more will die because even if they can afford it because they have money.

Doctors, nurses, medical staff and medicine maker employees don't work for free, someone has to pay them.

You must have missed this:

 amid a growing outbreak of severe lung disease linked to e-cigarette use that has claimed six lives.

Addressing reporters at the White House, the president said he and First Lady Melania Trump were worried as parents about the wave of illnesses that has sickened hundreds and left several teens in induced comas.

And this:

Trump's announcement received bipartisan support, including from his longtime Republican critic and former presidential candidate Mitt Romney, and several Democrats including Senate whip Dick Durbin, who commended the FDA for "doing its job."

This is just unacceptable.

On one hand you have a lot of people who were able to get off tobacco when they started vaping.

On the other hand according to some studies yo're 10 times more likely to start smoking tobacco if you start vaping rather than not start vaping.

Instead of vaping or smoking, have sex. It's a lot healthier and more enjoyable.

This is just unacceptable.

Why?

I suppose like the opioids, many middle class and rich class addicts.

Very true for once.
