Thanks to big tobacco domination with politicians in their pockets IMO, the govt banned vape juices and products from being delivered by USPS. More big brother control over citizens. Got to love these politicians. And now those who vape are going to have to pay double the price for vaping products at retail stores instead of getting them online for half the price. Vaping is now going to be expensive and too expensive to maintain for millions of people most likely who vape as an alternative to smoking cigarettes.

Well it's bad for the body so can't say I'm sorry. Considering it's only a matter of time until we have socialized medicine I'd rather certain things be done to ensure more Americans end up having better health. We should get rid of fast food too.

Have you seen the price of cigarettes and do you know why they are that astronomically high?

Hint, it's no the tobacco companies.

Vaping is far healthier than tobacco...It's the tars in tobacco that damage the body, not the nicotine.

Vaping helped me quit after many years of smoking. I don't think I could've quit without it. I agree it's just more of the government having control over your life. Most online vape stores offer free (or cheap) shipping via FedEx or UPS anyway so the USPS can stick it in their rears.

If we are moving to socialized medicine, I want mandatory 1 hour daily exercise for everyone as a requirement to get health care.

I don’t want to pay for some idiot’s poor lifestyle.

And yes, they all need to stop eating Pizza and drinking soda and replace it with a kale salad and water.

I’m not joking, by the way.

To tie this all back to the thread topic, everyone should quit smoking and vaping and drinking alcohol excessively.

Vaping is less bad for you than marijuana and the lefties love that. They really need to have some consistency in their beliefs but that will never happen because they base everything on "feewings" rather than science, common sense, or consistency. Fact is, vaping helps many smokers quit smoking. Of course the right are the same when it comes to drugs... they are fine with alcohol which is more harmful than marijuana but seem to have reefer madness.

Vaping is a mixture of vegetable glycerin which helps produce the smoke cloud and Propylene Glycol which carries the flavors and any nicotine that is added. All these ingredients are fairly harmless. The most harmful thing is some flavors use an ingredient that can give you "popcorn lung" and you should avoid those. (Diacetyl, a chemical used to give microwave popcorn its buttery flavor and aroma) ... not all vape mixtures even contain nicotine. This is a case of being scared at something because one doesn't understand it (like the right does with pot and the left does with guns)

And this is how the American Stasi will be formed. Don't forget to snitch on your neighbor who doesn't spend an hour exercising every day. Take pictures to give to the authorities of them hitting the local McDonalds every other day, and getting that daily Big Gulp. Track their daily stops at the local Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks as well, that caffeine can't be good for them either. While your at it let them know they bought way too much beef and not enough quinoa. Jeez.

I’m sick of the government running my life.
If I want to smoke, vape, drink, and eat McRibs all day that’s my decision.
Getting so sick of this nonsense. Don’t tell me what is best for me, I will decide.
I’d rather die young enjoying myself than live to 98 miserable, crapping my pants in a chair all day watching Maury. The government can go suck it.

Indeed.

I was a pack and a half a day smoker for 35 years. I quit thanks to vaping. Now, that is in jeopardy because of nosey beauracrats?
