Meanwhile we now have the feds

My guess is that Juul gave republicans/Conservatives too much money.

It’s how the feds roll.

Look at all these former smokers whose lives were saved by vapes.

Better tax and regulate that after the fact.

No, big tobacco has it out for Juul and similar platforms, they want their own iqos systems to be the only e cig left standing.

“Big Tobacco” owns Juul.

I’m not sure why this isn’t sinking in.

They bought it to kill it

They bought it to kill it

They bought it to make money - and that’s exactly what they were doing, until the feds got involved.

You obviously haven’t followed the story.

I am not sure how Juul is any worse or better than the rest. I guess since it was the biggest or bigger ones was why it’s targeted. Most of the shops I go to the store workers make their own liquid to sale with manufactured liquid not sure how safe that is but it’s pretty common here.

All a big tobacco push, juul cut into their profits, lobbyists were paid, juul is gone.

I think you missed my point.

Was this some kind of “grooming” joke?

He’s making the argument “If grooming is happening anywhere, it’s happening everywhere”.

Flawless logic.

Everything is grooming… sort of like how everything is also CRT, authoritarian, socialism, and fascist.

Well if this isn’t crt i don’t know what is

FDA's ban on Juul e-cigarettes delayed by appeals court

Juul can temporarily continue to sell its vape products after a federal appeals court temporarily delayed the FDA's ban on the e-cigarette giant.

Yeah i used blu to get off cigarettes.

Juul, for me. But I’ve since switched to a refillable vape thing.

Vaping: less respectable than smoking.

But at least slightly better for you.

The feds want you to believe nicotine will turn your mind into mush… but in reality, a good smoke might be the best “brain food” there is!

New research confirms that nicotine can slash inflammation levels in the brain and actually halt the self-destruct sequence that leads to Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Those diseases often start when acetylcholine, a key neurotransmitter, goes AWOL.

Without it, your brain’s immune cells go haywire – and instead of attacking dead cells, they attack the brain itself.

But in a series of lab tests at the University of South Florida College of Medicine, researchers found that nicotine can actually fill in for the missing acetylcholine – keeping the immune cells in check and lowering levels of inflammation.

Yeah, but it’s addictive, unlike caffeine and sugar.

LOL They’d rather people get hooked on something that damages brain cells, like weed.

caffeine and sugar.

Both of which are addictive.
