Yep...and the govt. is shitting it's pants as well. All that "anti-smoking" b.s. that the govt. puts out is really just a way to justify the HUGE taxes they put on cigarettes.
That's big time revenue for the govt.
I live in the smoking capital of the world: Las Vegas
And I'd say it's 70/30 vaping over cigarettes as I walk through the casinos.
If the govt. really gave a fuck about our health, they would encourage people to move from cigarettes to vaping.
Instead, they are losing billions in "sin tax" that they imposed on the tobacco industry products.
Now they are trying to figure out a way to vilify vaping.
They have to come up with a way to use the media to convince people that water vapor (you know, like in your vaporizer at home, or a steam room, or any stage production with a water based fog machine) is suddenly "dangerous".
That way they can start taxing the hell out of it.
