I’d have liked to have seen them this vocal about the CCIA.

Democrat politicians never consider the unintended consequences.
Or maybe they do but they just don't care.

I really hate the ban this and ban that mentality.
NY Politicians are always banning something these days.

I come from a time when the word "ban" wasn't much heard of.
But that was a different time in a better and more free America.

 

[Dr. Evil]

That's what they're concerned about?!?!?!?

 

[togmaster]

Oh so she forgot the LE exemption?

 

[Deplorable Me]

I guess we won't be getting menthol flavored joints then?

Ban menthol cigs, but legalize weed. Yup, makes perfect sense.

I was literally gonna write that.

Exactly.

I'd rather someone smoke a pack of menthol cigs and drive versus being able to smoke a joint then go drive.

This NYS is ass backward in their logic.

NY has been chipping away at vape products too, plus now much more heavily taxed. I smoked cigs for about 45 years and vape got me off the cigs about 12 years ago. It's no secret that cigs fuk up the lungs and can cause cancer. But there's little to no evidence that vape kills...unless of course a government financed study says so.

Seems Chatty Kathy & Newsome are having a screw the citizens contest.

I occasionally do non-nicotine vaping. I make the vape liquid myself right in the kitchen using all natural ingredients. I got a nice sub ohm pico mega vape unit.

Plenty of videos and recipes on how to make your own vape liquids.

I mostly use it during this time of the season as it keeps my sinuses moistened.

If anything, it might be the non-natural "chemicals" the put in these vape liquids on the shelf, versus what I make that might be causing an issue. But I don't use them, so I can't really say.

Banning menthol cigs while handing out Narcan and fentanyl test kits along with billboards encouraging people to do drugs with a friend and test their drugs. What a time to be alive.

I like how the state taxes a tax! Cigarettes.
They should make that illegal.
When will the state make sure everyone drinks the right amount of water?
If it only saves one kidney.
For the children.

 

[dsdmmat]

[meketrefe]

I always wonder why we take orders from such weak people who think they know best what should and shouldn't be banned.

There will come a day when people become fed up with this. I don't know when that day is. I do know I want to be physically and mentally fit, strong, and capable for when that day comes so I always have a choice.

 

[fresch]

Because they will sick their enforcement dogs on us?

 

[Jchrisls]

I wonder sometimes if they realize that these actions create vacuums in the marketplace that just push things underground, as a vacuum cannot exist in nature or in commerce. Foolish honestly, and it eliminates a revenue stream for the state, a quite lucrative one at that. Everything a government does it does poorly.

Yeah butt, it's only racist if you like the white meat best.

 

[GOPerfect]
