FDA to order Juul e-cigarettes off U.S. market
Now we&#x27;re being told what we can and can&#x27;t do in random ways in America and it&#x27;s a really strange form of hypocrisy. From talk about regulating the size of big gulps to mandating paper straws to legalization of marijuana and the banning of smoking products, this country is going insane.<p>We still live in a country where illegal drugs are prevalent in all settings of life. All of the moral legislation doesn&#x27;t change the underlying narrative that the people we task with serving this country are not doing their jobs right, and simply voting does not fix that because of the deep seated agendas of non-tax-paying corporations and individuals influencing our political systems.<p>It&#x27;s not about Juul products, it&#x27;s a hostile bid to take their market share...<p>There are literally 20+ other vape product companies, and many other non-legal suppliers that will step in regardless of what laws are passed, many adding harmful chemicals to products as well, while the FDA is not focused on making vape products better and safer. It&#x27;s meant to be simple nicotine, that&#x27;s been around since America was inhabited by native cultures. What&#x27;s next for elimination? Brands of Alcohol?<p>Are we going to limit blood alcohol content to 2 sips per outing? Who is driving all of this? Name the specific people pushing these rules, and then follow the paper trails, and you&#x27;ll find that in a country where health care companies give major contributions to legislators to keep the market deregulated that it&#x27;s all about money, not our best interests, and we fund it all every year, mandatorily, when we pay taxes...<p>Everyone is getting prodded and pushed around by the legislators we&#x27;re mandatorily funding. I&#x27;m not advocating protest or overthrow of government and corporations at all, but the ones we have in place are not helping us by any means right now, and they&#x27;re overreaching into our privacy and lives and driving policy based on agendas and profit at our expense. People smoke mostly because they are stressed and burdened within their lives, reduce public financial and emotional stress factors first, then they&#x27;ll have no excuses left for smoking.<p>We need to be more vocal about the harm in moral legislation, even if smoking is eliminated, we still don&#x27;t have free health care for being citizens, and we pay an extraordinary amount in taxes every year with cost of living that threatens to kill most well before smoking ever could.
