285. A Mixed Bag...

Sat Mar 8, 2014, 01:53 PM

Mar 2014

I'm an ex-cig smoker...and have been vaping for almost three years. I consider the device a life saver. The attempts to legislate its use is a travesty as many have posted here; especially as it has been proven effective in helping wean long time smokers off the cancer sticks.

I'm fully in favor of regulating its sale to anyone under 18 and tax the item as any other retail device. This isn't about glorifying smoking...it's helping people escape an addiction that is not only effective but also saves the ex-smoker money. And that's where the rub comes in...

Even when I smoked I accepted the rising taxes as a way to make those things more and more cost prohibitive and maybe this would force some to quit...and even more important, to prevent younger people from even starting. That was how those taxes were sold, but unfortunately when the budgets took...property values tanked and corporates paid less in taxes, the vice taxes became a bigger and more important source of revenue.

In doing my own exploring I've seen how many of the anti-vaping laws were being pushed by tobacco company interests in conjunction with their legislative allies. My hopes are vapers can organize and fight all the ignorance and politics and keep these products available to those who are still fighting this deadly addiction.

And to those "holier than thous" who yelp "you shouldn't have started smoking in the first place"...here's a solution...now you're being the problem!
