Witless Dictator of Michigan

  1. The governor of Michigan has decided that because it is an emergency she can ban flavored vape juice that contains nicotine. I have never been a smoker, but I am going to have to get off of my lazy butt to fight this directive. This is not the kind of thing that should become precedent.

    It's a test of their power on something mundane.
    If it works no one really cares, if it doesn't work it's forgotten about pretty much immediately.

    Well , as a non smoker , That quit about 40 years ago , when they were banning smoking in bars and public places , I thought that was wrong , it just showed the .gov's power trip in my opinion . But this vaping thing , again in my opinion , isn't as safe as tobacco , IMO . They're already having people having seizure's and other problems associated with it . Just saw an article where a 20 something yr old girl ended up in the hospital in a coma associated with the vaping . They said vaping causes moisture to form in the lungs if done heavily , and that water settles in the lungs and forms bacteria . They said that young gal was really lucky she popped out of her condition , they said it could have been way worse . Maybe they're trying to ban the flavored stuff so as not to attract the younger kids . [dunno] I can see both sides here . As I don't have a dog in this fight , I'll let the vapers, and the .gov fight it out ,, but , I can just about tell you the outcome , if the .gov is involved .

    Nicotine is addictive and even can be used as a poison. It causes cancer. Vaping, smoking, chewing, or I suppose stuffing tobacco where the sun don't shine. Vaping as said above causes other lung problems. KIDS should not be allowed to vape! Adults aught to be able to kill themselves any stupid way that floats their boat.
    Just my humble opinion.

    Once the government tried to ban alcohol through Prohibition, look how that turned out.

  6. The vaping industry kind of screwed themselves by mislabeling vape juice that had nicotine as being nicotine free. Still, the idea that a governor can declare anything an emergency and ban a product is not a precedent I want to stand. Look at Fauxahontas declaring she would sign an executive order to stop all federal fossil fuel leases. Vaping isn't the important aspect, the problem is executive overreach.

    This reminds me of YouTube censoring videos. Put the information out there and just let people decide for themselves. Like drinking and smoking. Nobody is holding a gun to anyone's head and forcing this stuff on them.
