Uh, his "trade war" is not to stop things like this from coming in, it is to regulate PRICES ! Nice spin, but no cigar. If anything, Trump has removed a lot of product protections that previous administrations enacted...…….he has opened the door for LESS regulation and control. What that means is we will be seeing more and more items like these vapers hitting our streets.

I wouldn't be surprised if the same products (including dangerous knockoffs) we get from China are not available to Chinese nationals.


I encounter fakes of the brands (which are compliant with the CPSC an FDA) I use available online for a fraction of the price. Even coils which suppose to be medical grade cotton and food grade materials are sold online for a fraction. Tempting but no thank you... risky.

Good luck with that.... why again did we push for China's membership to the WTO and actually spark trade with them in the first place?

I have a good friend who is addicted to vaping. He used to smoke cigarettes and switched a few years ago. The good news is, he's been able to dial the nicotine content (%) way down. The bad news is that he is constantly puffing on it every waking moment. He believe in only buying the proven, U.S. made, brand name juice. The aftermarket or black market stuff seems to be where the problems lie.

Just to further this point... not just the juice but anything associated with the vape equipment. Most importantly the coils which are suppose to be medical/food grade wire and wick cotton.

Note this is a study by NBC news.

Thats why I rather pay a little bit more for US products without lead base stuff in it, dog food that caused dogs to die, etc.

I don't know, I must be missing something, but what is the attraction of sucking smoke into your body, regardless of if it is via cigarettes or vapers ? Think about it, SUCKING SMOKE INTO YOUR BODY !

I think this whole vaping thing is ridiculous.
In my state of Mass. our Gov. has banned the sale of all vaping products for 4 months so a study can be done on the adverse affects of it. Talk about a nanny state.

Vaping can be an alternative for people that are trying to quit the more dangerous cigarette smoking but how can anyone think that inhaling anything with chemicals in it deeply into their lungs and holding it there can be a positive for their health?
