Tobacco and nicotine products have been around for quite a while, our great-great-grandparents began the trend and passed it on until we began to see how smoking can kill you. Our generation grew up watching people die from lung cancer and cigarette addiction. E-cigarettes and the method of vaping were introduced and marketed as an alternative way for smokers to get their nicotine without the smoke. Since people are always making such things into the next "cool" trend, I wasn't surprised that vaping became a thing
Now, there have been a total of six deaths recorded that were caused from E-cigarettes. Six deaths... that's all it took for the Trump administration to come down hard on e-cigarettes — particularly flavored ones like JUUL.
Over the last few days, Twitter has been blowing up with tweets of people's opinion about it, and let's agree we are all quite skeptical over such decision was taken. There's the fact that gun violence has killed millions of people, yet they haven't been removed from the picture. We've seen shootings that took dozens of lives but haven't been considered terrorism because the shooter was an American.
Those guns that have killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people haven't been banned. There's no actual solution to hate or world peace at this point. Gun laws are still being ignored. But E-cigarettes aren't? After only six deaths? Six deaths that were caused by people who should have known the consequences of vaping in the first place, by people who weren't targeting anyone else but their own health and safety.
