Considering that there is definitive proof that they caused deaths, this is indeed reasonable.

Response will be a separate purchase of flavor additive to circumvent

[[I heard its the Vitamin E that is causing people’s lungs to go kaput]]

I don’t think they know quite what it is yet- Soem are saying it’s only from vaping THC- probably either the E or something else that gets added to the liquid-

They Really should investigate what is causing it first though- this is a violation of the inustry’s right to produce a product that isn’t dangerous- they aren’t responsible for street products, or non regulated products that come from other companies overseas for the damage- They should have the right to produce the product to make a living IF their product is perfectly safe AND has helped millions get off cigarettes

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if tobacco companies are pushing this hysteria and knee jerk reaction- I hope they aren’t- I’ve defended people’s right to smoke- but IF the tobacco companies are behind this hysteria over E-ciggs- that crosses the line-

A half a dozen vapers die and it's a major panic.

More than 480,000 cigarette related deaths per year, and crickets.

I'd like my cocoon in chartreuse, please.

Chartreuse can be one of two distinct colors, please be more specific...

Already banned in Michigan. Also our animal shelters are statewide no Kill for 2018.

Michigan leading the way.

Thanks. After a little more reading, I see it is being used as a thickener. SMH.

Bad Idea.

If people want to harm themselves by voluntarily inhaling noxious fumes, I’d rather they did so in a manner inoffensive to me. Vaping is enormously preferable to smoking.

As a general rule it’s probably best not to put ANY foreign substances into one’s lungs.

See my post above. He's not.
He is however the best we can hope for under current circumstances. I'm a huge fan of the guy, but yours is a fair critique.

“Do they realize that it’s from atypical use of THC to get high?”

It’s actually from illegal dispensaries making and selling bootleg THC cartridges.

I’m a guy. I don’t do colors. Just chartreuse, whatever the dickens that is.

I looked up choking death rate, and am shocked to learn that solid food is legal.

Water isn’t outlawed, either.
Murderous bathtubs all over the country must be regulated!!

Our governor just did this....I was in the store today to buy vaping products... long line in the store...I asked for strawberry flavor and was told it was banned...my response.... Well I guess our governor says that I am not old enough to buy what I want.... half of the people applaud, the other half scowl.... I don’t need a petty beaurocrat telling me what I can and cannot do..

This is not what we elected Trump to do.

Build the wall. Lock her up. Deport the illegals.

Maybe once that is done we can worry about the e-cigarette “outbreak” that might have affected six people out of 300 million.
