The Supreme Court will hear a vaping case on Monday, weighing federal regulators’ decisions blocking sweet vaping products after e-cigarette use spiked among kids.
Sometimes I feel like the people trying to ban flavored vapes were never even kids. Because lemme tell ya, it was never about the flavor. All my friends and I started smoking when we were 13 and it definitely wasn’t because they tasted good I’ll tell you that much. Tobacco companies are just mad they aren’t making as much money.
Yep. Part is peer pressure, part is wanting to rebel, part is wanting to seem older, and part is because cigarettes were portrayed for years as something relaxing.
Who has two thumbs and started smoking at 13? This guy👍👍
I quit several years ago and regret about 75% of the cigarettes I smoked.
Big tobacco just mad that they have to make a bit less profit. Hoping to push people back to the good ol ash and fire money mill.
They are back to targeting teens. They want to do that without restrictions.
Pretty sure they never left that space. Of all the modes available for getting nic these days vapes are probably the cheapest. Last I recall you could get a bottle that would last a week for $20 or so while cigarettes or the pouches they have now are closer to $10 a pack. Wouldn’t be surprised if the big players wanted to cut e-smokes out to get some more revenue.
No one is going to start smoking in 2024.
Capes have the perception of being clean. The reason cigarettes are expensive is that they are heavily taxed and regulated. Vapes don’t have the same rules and high taxes.
Vape juice is literally half tax in Canada. Used to be 15$ for a 120ml bottle and now it’s 30 and half the price is taxes. Can’t even buy cotton locally now because of bullshit regulations, but you can still buy disposables everywhere, but god forbid you want to build your own coils to save some money.
Well Nicotine is highly addictive so it needs high taxes to compensate for the market failure.
Probably the best solution is a nicotine tax that applies to all products. It could be based on the amount of nicotine being sold.
Tax the shit out of it, it pisses me off cause I’m an addict but I understand it’s for the best.
Stop banning flavours though, if I wanted gross tobacco flavours then I’d go back to smoking cigarettes. Let me have my peach flavoured juice ffs, and build and rewick my own coils instead of letting wasteful disposables run rampant.
I dont wanna quit, I’ve tried 6+ times now and it’s fucking hard. If I can’t legally buy flavoured juice, then I’ll go to the black market to get my fix and then the government gets nothing except my health problems out of it.
fuck the feds
supreme court justiciaries were all flown to Disneyland to discuss
Spoiler Vapes are likely not good for you. The initial studies showed that there are some nasty chemicals in vapes. Also Nicotine is bad for you period.
Who cares. Let people do what they want, the ban on alcohol didn’t stop people from drinking it just pushed it to the black market. I smoked for 6 years before switching to vaping, fuck off with the flavour bans. Kids are gonna get nicotine regardless so dont give me that “won’t someone think of the children” bullshit.
