It's funny when vapers think that the anti vaping people are secretly big tobacco.

They are wrong, the anti vaping people are the exact same people as the anti smoking people.

I am favor of rights for both groups, and think we should stand united against big government.

Wished there were "Letitia James" 100 years ago to stop the expansion of coca cola and alike from drowning americans with sugar soda water to make them obese, diabetic and infertile for the generations to come.
The government made coca cola a lot more unhealthier by subsidizing high fructose corn syrup vs real sugar.

Every time you buy a pack of cigs, your money goes to greedy billionaire corporations... not greedy politicians even though some of them (like Mitch McConnell) get huge $$$ "donations" from them.

People think voting for trump and his mob resulted is "less or smaller" government. Wake up. It didn't.

Every time you buy a pack of cigs, you are doing so voluntarily. That is the key word. The greedy billionaire corporations don't force you to buy them.

Why is anyone interfering in people’s desire to vape/smoke? Limiting/outlawing products . Jeez let them vape when it kills them it kills them. It’s their life their choice.
