Anything that encourages kids as young as middle school to get addicted to nicotine seems bad...would not go to bat for it personally.

Good, get that shit out of here.

Not marketed to kids...nothing to see here.
At least Joe Camel wore a suit

I wouldn’t ban it outright, but I could see a 21yr old limit on them. Get them out of the high schools completely. Exempt for active military. Old enough to die, old enough for everything in my book.

I'm sorry, but every person that I see vape looks ridiculous.

I say just smoke for god sakes.

Agreed. Clouds of smoke don’t make you cool.
Everyone wants to be noticed nowadays. RIDICULOUS.

When government agencies figure out a way to cash in on it, they will not only keep it legal, but will encourage it.

Kids that likely would NOT have started smoking are starting to vape. That’s terrible. That needs legislation. Greed and corruption will influence that but doesn’t make it 100% wrong.

Zero nic vape juice is exempt from any ruling.

Ultra light or unflavored nic juice is protected

Just mix it yoursrlf.

Any ban will have no effect on vaping whatsoever.

Banning flavored nic juice, other than menthol is already the law.

Flavored cigarettes are illegal by federal law, therefore flavored nic juice should already be illegal by federal law.

The law is easily skirted legally.

It will have no effect on vaping.

Kids smoke zero nic juice for the most part.

Nic juice it too chokey they dont like it generally.

They are finding nicotine in nicotine free vape products...

Besides that, who cares if the vapor they inhale is just a mix of unknown chemicals right? WTF? How does anyone defend vaping for kids?

I think it’s odd to ban vaping but not cigarettes.

I also think vaping sales should be 19+ (or whatever your local age of majority is)

It’s tragic that lives have been lost due to vaping related injuries, but, vaping is less harmful then smoking. The problem is unregulated e-juice production. Find the chemical (probably the glycol) additive causing the health concerns and remove it.

Analogy time. Aerosol containers used to be filled with CFC’s. They didn’t ban spray paint, they removed the harmful chemicals.

How exactly is vaping less harmful than smoking?

I get the fact you're not burning treated paper and inhaling smoke, but, what are you inhaling now?

Truth is, you don't really know.

I don't smoke or vape, so I'll just carry on, but I'm hoping you can wait a decade until some true results of vaping are known.

This stuff has been around for a decade already.. maybee longer? I was a heavy smoker for over 15 years and quit 6 years ago. I used vaping for somewhere between a year and a year and a half as a crutch before quitting that also. Even back then there were times I experienced shortness of breath from vaping... I never experienced things to that degree w/ cigarettes... Vaping is not as safe as it’s being sold to be.

Easy, Whatever chemicals you put into your vape.

Ive been vaping shatter (refined, concentrated cannabis) for over a year now. I don’t use thc “vape pins” they’re usually blended with a thinning agent like glycol or medium chain triglycerides (MCT oil). But I’ve been thinking about pressing my own rosin from plan matter, that way I’m sure that there are no additives.

I have a friend who used an e-juice vape to quit smoking cigarettes, he’s reduced his nicotine intake to 0 now, but I still see him vaping flavored e-juice when he drinks, I guess it’s better then going back to cigarettes, but it razz him pretty hard when he makes giant clouds of strawberry.

I certainly can agree on keeping this away from kids, but one issue is the quantity of smoke generated from larger tanks and heating units. We dont smoke, like the gif below, with cigarettes.....match the amount and frequency of billowing clouds with tobacco.
Our lungs would cough out.
But with vaping, Im seeing huge volume. I believe the death and illness is not only the chemicals, but the volume and frequency.

States don't have a age limit? Up here in Canada it's 18 or 19 depending on province you live to buy it. Personally I hate the smell of cigarettes but I think these tutti fruity candy ass vape smells are worse. There's no laws against doing it in public so some dumbasses proceed to blow their clouds in the bar or line in Wal-Mart. Losers. Go outside like the smokers.

Now get off my lawn

Im going to become a senator so I can write a bill which allows you to slap the shit out of these people

Inhaling anything besides air into your lungs is a bad idea. And sometimes the air isn't in the greatest shape, either.

I always thought this vape thing is bad for you. I have walked by and that stuff has a nasty smell to it.

As a non-smoker, I wouldn't want to be exposed to ANY second hand vaping smoke.

Problem is they won't know the damage for a few years yet, but early studies aren't good.

I’d rather the government not *ban* anything. Let people make their own decisions, even bad ones. Use the FDA to control ingredient safety.

Cool! Can you take care of
Climate change too, please? Nobody else seems to be on that one

True. Although given how bad smoking tobacco is for you, vaping has its work cut out for it if it wants to be worse.

Anything that gets our new governor publicity, he is all for.

Even if he is not the first, he always jumps right on the bandwagon. Being three hours behind does have it's disadvantages.

This is ridiculous. Nobody knows what's in their cigarettes either!

I'm not a fan of second hand vaping.

But at least that clove cigarette fad seems to be a thing of the past.

Colin Farrell, who smokes like a chimney, said he couldn’t get into vaping. Said it felt like he was sucking on a robot’s d@#k.

And he would probably know.

It is funny watching all that vape exit out a car window when one is stopped at a traffic light. Laugh every time!

You what they say, “As Colin Farrell goes, so goes the Nation”

That’s it, I’m out!

Non nicotine juice is unregulated. If it contains any nicotine, it's regulated.

If they hadn't gone overboard and banned these, we may have never gotten to this point with the young people.

The vaping lobby is considerably weaker than the alcohol lobby, and the cigarette lobby is working against the vaping lobby I’m sure.

I think anything should be legal to put in your own body if you're 18+. If you're dumb enough to ingest something that will kill you, it's nobody elses business to stop you. Also if you do something unhealthy, you shouldn't get the same medical benefits at the same cost as healthy people.

I've never smoked, drank alcohol, or done any drugs, but if I did vape I'd want candy/fruit flavors. Likewise if I ever drank alcohol.

I own a couple thousand shares of Altria. Altria owns 35% of Juul. I think it's a toss-up at this point if they'd prefer for Juul to go away. They did pay something like $18 billion for their stake in them.

Still for sale. Made in Columbia!

Oh, you’re missing out. You get the right drubs, and it’s the best feeling in the world.

You can still buy them at Galco. Galco is a soda shop located next door to Barcade LA.
