Vaping, wow!

So the powers that be have decided that Vaping is bad for you because a few people have gotten sick or died.. and I'm assuming there is no available data they are willing to share as to the past health and or chances thes people are ....doctoring up their vape of choice. .. I wonder.
....I think the next thing is going to be when this "impossible Meat" fad goes bad... I just don't trust the hype and I predict problems on the horizon.

Every time I see one of these stupid new fads or one of the new medications on the tv everyday, I figure in about a year from when they come out I will see an ad for Joe bornstein looking for people that has been effected by it...

The CDC is tracking all reported cases and they are just now starting to report what they have so far. The vast majority seem to involve THC oils/waxes, a relatively new product undoubtedly arising from the legalization of marijuana around the country and the resulting increase in the number of "pot shops". As for the "impossible meats"...one does have to wonder what chemicals have to be added to make vegetables taste like meat.

New stuff with no history that is overhyped is the very stuff I avoid. Did it really take a brain scientist or rocket surgeon to figure out that inhaling chemically induced flavored vapors would be bad for people?

From what I've read/heard, I think it has something to do with oils/waxes that apparently move to a vapor state when heated but return to oils/waxes in the lungs. There also seems to be some connection to vitamin E added to the capsules for some reason.

Inhaling fumed vapors is much older than many think...if anything it is oils with tobacco/nicotine that are relatively new...reefer and hash oils go way, way back...
regardless whether it is fumed with a bic lighter or a tiny lithium battery...it's the same thing...the only difference now is availability and popularity...with higher demand comes more harmful impurities from faster production methods etc...but cannabis oils and waxes are anything but new...

When I see cigarette smoke it is always a small puff of smoke.
BUT whenever I see a vapor user he is hidden behind a huge cloud of smoke.

Is MORE better? (or perhaps he wants to hide in the cloud)

My windsheilds always get greasy on the inside and I don't even smoke. Can't imagine one with some vaping going on.

Maybe this is why people vape. It sure makes him look sophisticated though.
