what do you think of the big vaping scare


mumbo

Recommended Posts

if there isnt a thread on it already somewhere.

so it turns out the cdc backed down on vape warnings https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-7900803/CDC-drops-warning-against-vaping-nicotine-adults.html

but cities and jurisdictions are still considering strengthen bans because of appeal to teens 

the purpose of the post is celebratory in that vaping is not as dangerous as people suspected a few months ago.

and what is your reaction?  are you glad we found out from the medical community that upwards of 90% certainty, the scare was due to illegal THC cartridges? yipee

It’s bullshit. In NYS they banned flavors on vapes like the juul but there’s a loophole where they still have flavors on disposable tanks. Idk I guess people mix their own stuff. That’s still allowed and teens are just switching to that instead 

I don’t like the idea of things made for adults getting banned, or heavily restricted,  cuz teens get their hands on them. Parents need to parent and schools need to put time aside for prevention education.  
 

It must be easy to enforce the vape ban. I say this cuz cigarettes exist. Alcohol and opiates exist. Younglings get their paws on them too, but somehow that’s just fine 🤷‍♀️

Load of horseshit. Vaping is just new and unfamiliar, and that makes it scary to old people. I still believe that vaping is significantly safer than smoking cigarettes, albeit not completely without risks. I think this whole sensationalist scare started because states realized they were losing tax revenue from tobacco sales due to the increasing popularity of vaping. And then the Vitamin E acetate provided the perfect storm for a health scare.
