Thought I heard something the other day that said vitamin E was somehow involved.
Also heard some name brand products had been cloned by black market companies with impurity’s.
I watched a piece on why Vit E- when heated and inhaled via the cartidges they use for vaping- does its damage to the lungs. Very bad stuff.

Yep, some unscrupulous and idiotic people were using it to thin THC liquid thinking it was the same thing as vegetable glycerin. Unfortunately vitamin E acetate is an oil and when vaporized and inhaled does a lot of damage to the lungs. Vegetable glycerin however has been used in breathing treatments and fog machines for over many decades. When vg in inhaled its absorbed by the lungs and broken down into a simple carbohydrate.

If, and this is a big if, someone got this lung damage but doesn't use THC then they bought blackmarket ecig cartridges/pods that someone did the same thing. Basically like cutting coke with something to make more product to sell. But this what happens when the government decides to ban things, black markets are created and people get hurt because there are no regulations.

Okay so one thing that makes my spidy senses tingle. The Media will always do the opposite of Trump. If he walks on water tomorrow headline is "Trump Can't SWIM!" So knowing we have a media that hates Trump and loves to go against him. You have Trump, basically his wife pushing for restrictions and the media is supporting that? Something very fishy going on.

Oh yeah, I could never see any reason why adults wouldn't want those products. I mean, I just love the dirty looks I get when people see me vape. As far as hiding the vapor, you don't need a capture/filter. Just holding it in a bit longer than usual makes the vapor undetectable. Those times that the wife and I go to wal-mart "for just a few things" I usually sneak a hit or two after an hour in the store. Unless you are looking right at me you would never see the vapor. Just like with firearms, kids are the liberal fodder for their war on vaping. I mean, seriously, look at anything one side or the other wants to ban, they scream "FOR THE CHILDREN!!" as a cure all mantra that legitimizes their argument.

But, as I have said before, take news articles like this as gospel, I mean news agencies never lie or hide facts right?

What news story? I wasn't talking about any news story.
