If they have to keep something in their mouth people should just go back to using their pacifier. It’s a lot safer.

Ironically, it is marketed as the “safe alternative to smoking”.

Good afternoon.

May I offer some perspective?

There are roughly 7 billion humans on the planet. At some point in their life they will die. The available categories that show how humans die is amazing. Disease sure, car accidents sure, natural disasters sure, wars sure, etc., but one thing that is for sure is that you are going to die.

How doesn’t matter because you are dead.

It’s nicotine without the smell, TAR and the other hundred chems found in a regular cig.

Sounds like the lesser of two evils. So five people have died ... what's that compared to the thousands upon thousands who die smoking tobacco conventionally?

I was talking with someone about this today, and he emphasized the stuff these people were putting into their lungs and none of what he mentioned was nicotine. People are selling “home brew” of various kinds.

“Are vapes taxed like cigs”

There you have it. The bought and paid for scientific community will continue to find good reason to tax and regulate this scourge until the proper vig is laid at the feet of our beters.

Replace ‘vaping’ by ‘illegal alien’ and one quickly sees that this is just ginned-ip media hysteria.

“as experts warn people to stop using e-cigarettes NOW...”

Sounds like some global warming “experts” took time off from that endeavor to chime in on the vaping “crisis”. Everything is a crisis to these turds,

Hard to tell with all the confounding factors.

“How doesn’t matter because you are dead.”

To most of us — the ‘How’ and ‘When’ of death definitely matters. I realize there are some that just doesn’t care about these things. That is their choice.

The article refers to vaping cannabis, not nicotine. Don’t vape cannabis.

Do you vape?

I think 30 million Americans vape.

These numbers are tiny and ambiguous
