California’s Flavour Ban On Hold
Anti-vapers have been left fuming after a Big Tobacco led campaign has put California’s flavour ban on hold.
I really do have to chuckle at this news lol.
The statewide flavour ban was voted into law during the 2019-20 Legislative Session and yeah as you can guess, was brought in to ‘save the children’.
However a concerted campaign led by Big Tobacco giants R.J Reynolds Tobacco Company, Philip Morris USA, ITG Brands and a whole host of local big and small retailers brought in over 1million signatures on a petition calling for the ban to be over turned!
This left Matthew L. Myers, president of Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, literally choking back his dismay adding:
This is a battle between the people of California and Big Tobacco over the health, lives and future of our kids.
Big Tobacco is going to use every deceptive trick in their playbook just so they can continue to market and profit from hooking young kids on their candy-flavored products.
More than a wry smile on my lips right now lol.
Meanwhile elite virtue signaling Governor Gavin Newsom vowed to ‘fight on‘ to save the kids:
This is Big Tobacco’s latest attempt to profit at the expense of our kids’ health.
California will continue to fight back and protect children from Big Tobacco.
If that’s the case, it’s strange they aren’t fighting the threat of lit tobacco to the state’s health…
Especially as California received around $849 million from the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement last year alone…
Things that make you go ummm…
Voters will be able to decide if the ban remains in law next year and of course we’ll keep you posted on any developments.
Bribing Kids To Become Anti Vapers!
Kids in Minnesota are being offered up to $500 to create anti-vaping videos in a new scheme to scare the shit out of smokers and vapers.
Not only that, the organizers are literally rabble rousing the kids with the line:
Need a little inspiration for your video?
Check out some Vaping Truths to get riled up over.
“Get riled up over?‘
WTF! hey let’s get these kids angry…jeez…
And what about:
Escape the Vape is a PSA video contest that puts the power to fight back in your hands.
Just create your vape-bashing masterpiece, upload and you could win $500 for you and $500 for your school or organization.
Vape bashing?
What about lit tobacco bashing – the number one killer in the world?
Not sexy enough I guess…
I also DO NOT like this play on words either:
The truth will set you free…
Now where have I heard that Nazi style phrase before…hint – just swap Truth with Work…
FFS…
But what really pisses me off is this little list of scary shit you’ll find in most vapes:
- Acrolein, used to kill weeds
- Propylene glycol, found in antifreeze
- Benzene, found in car exhaust
- Heavy metals, like lead and nickel
- Chemicals used to make vape liquid flavors like Cinnamaldehyde16
It’s all absolute and total bollocks but these anti-vaping groups keep getting away with scaring the living daylights out of kids and worse still stop smokers making the healthier switch to vaping.
However in a vomit inducing act of ‘virtue signalling’ the Vape Escape campaign has a tiny little disclaimer that states:
Commercial tobacco does not include or refer to sacred tobacco that are used by many Native American tribes in spiritual and cultural ceremony and prayer.
Oh…that’s OK then – how about calling e-liquid Sacred Vape Juice in future…
I know I shouldn’t joke but holy crap these people piss me off…
Incidentally…the Vape Escape links to My Life My Quit – another of those stop kids vaping websites.
Now that site links to National Jewish Health…
And who’s a massive funder of that..?
Michael Bloomberg…no shit Sherlock it had to be lol.
All of these anti-vaping websites from the large and the small alike are a bloody spiders web – all leading back to Mr Moneybags – allegedly
