The Vape WARS The truth about who vaping Nicotine is really helping

October 15, 2019 Posted by MONICA RICHARDSON Uncategorized No Comments

Recently we have had  a rash of states outlaw vape flavors, like blueberry and watermelon. So fast you can not blink- Then a court fought back in NY and said nope – this is so not legal. Massachusetts a state with an AA member as their mayor and  I am not sure about their Governor- but I will be digging.

Why not ban all combustible cigarettes then if you are really worried about harm and death. Some 400,000 Americans die every year from the real deal – a cigarette. What about flavored alcohol which is really on the rise – How come they are not OUTRIGHT banning those? Trust me , I dont want any banning of any of this, but to so quickly try to destroy an industry almost makes me wonder if its a planned strategy by a few nutjobs.

Who is really behind this big thrust. Prohibitionists Steppers who are in positions of power, Big Tobacco or The Cancer Industry Big profit dealers/ healers.

I am not a vapor- I don’t smoke – But I have seen vaping help many quit and reduce. Its called Harm reduction which steppers do not understand or like. Vapor spots were popping up all oer Los Angeels a few years ago – I saw many ex drinkers benefiting from these little gadgets – I have seen community and young entrepreneurs create small business and friendships arise among these shops that were building a community for this younger generation- They were having fun ! They provided a service and product so much better then cigarettes. So why all the push back. Why the propaganda and lies –

When I was in Hawaii last year on vacation , I saw fun ads about how flavored vapes made it easier to quit smoking. But in California the ads were dark, aggressive, scary, 13 year olds were depicted screaming and having temper tantrums. They were saying that these devices were leading your child to become an addict – Holy shit – I got really mad. Those f**Kers once again are heading back to the early 1980’s playbook-

” No Having fun – kids” nope – you guys unlike us Baby boomers who had all kinds of freedom and smoked real cigarettes , then quit – got to have fun. But you don’t !  Thats the message I see.

The California Department of Health has been running the most moronic ads , fear mongering calling it a gateway DRUG TO BECOMING AN ADDICT!  WOW- OK- guys – you have gone too far.  You guys are nuts!

More Nancy Reagan “Say No to Drugs ” campaign.

A really great article on who is really getting harmed  is linked below. This is a  really touching and human story about who is really being harmed by this phony vape war. Please read and share and call you Department of Health and tell them this ” how about you regulate rehab and sober living first  and get your hands off vaping ! The other part of the story that mainstream media is not covering correctly in that the vaps that are harming people are Counterfeit and have THC in them – not e – cigs.
