10. First off ...

This is a localized cluster, although 10's of Millions worldwide are vaping. And mostly kids are being affected in this case, apparently.

This is what's called 'bunk shit going around'.

The vendor(s) responsible are probably selling something they're calling 'weed' type stuff. This is why they're having trouble tracking down what happened, the kids having the problems aren't copping to the doctors that they thought they were buying illegal drugs off the street.

Secondly, you really think a huge corporation with legal liabilities is going to be as careless as a street vendor, and are just going to use 'whatever's cheapest'? C'mon now

Thirdly, my juice says what's in it to the same degree food has to: 80% Vegetable Glycerin, 20% Propylene Glycol, Nicotine, Natural and Artificial Flavors.

They're all Rx or Food-Grade ingredients. Would I like more detail on the flavorings? YES. But even if I knew more about 'names' I wouldn't know if they're harmful to put in my lungs anyways.

Fourthly, not really sure I buy this 'the kids are off to the streets to buy their kiddie flavors cause Juul cut 'em off' storyline. You have evidence of this? Juul is sold in stores that won't allow you to buy it unless you're 18, plus it's an EXTREMELY expensive way to vape relative to other avenues.

And no, I'm not saying it's a 'hoax', I'm saying ... there's some bunk shit going around that area. If it was just 'vaping' that was the problem this would breaking out ALL OVER THE WORLD.
