What I mean is more that no matter what some people will try to get high. If it wasn't e-cigs it would be something else. Booze, Blue-Sky Meth, glue, whatever. Old as time. The President is a fink. |

Totally agree. Vaping is okay by me, people can do what they want, I just think people should treat like smoking and not do it in enclosed areas (like planes), restaurants, etc. It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

No. Doesn't mean they won't get them anyway. But that doesn't mean they should be marketed to kids either. Reminds of a pet peeve. Just don't lie to kids that something is more dangerous than it is. That was tried with marijuana and I think it just makes them not take information seriously. If they're lying about marijuana, maybe meth warnings or some other drug info can be taken skeptically. Right now, the info about e-cigs is we just don't know that much yet. If you don't have any standards for what's in them then it's really just a toss up. Edit -- maybe I should specify that info by strong anti-drug campaigns often just spins to the very worst results. And that's doing a disservice to presenting accurate information. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

| Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | Okay. I get it. There is a "We vape and we VOTE" movement as vapers become politicized and vocal. But please remember: We Non-Vapers pay for your emphysema, lung cancer and COPD. We vote too. And we are more numerous! |

It is far from proven that smokers cost society more than none smokers, as popular as that theory is. The smokers pay thousands of extra dollars in taxes. All people have their highest medical and support costs at the end of life. The smokers die younger saving society many years of what ever government money they are collecting.
