  1. Reducing the amount of nicotine in cigarettes means that people will smoke more in order to get the same nicotine fix. More cigarettes means more taxes. No, millions of smokers will not quit smoking due to lower amounts of nicotine. In fact, because of the lies being spread about how bad nicotine is (tar is the real problem, not nicotine) more people will smoke. They will view cigarettes as less harmful and less potentially addictive than they previously were and not worry so much. This move will increase smoking. Meanwhile, they thing that is 97% less harmful than smoking and is supported as a viable smoking cessation method in the UK (vaping) will continue to be destroyed by ignorant, middle-class, white women and the men who they control. Why? Because the people who directly benefit from the sale of cigarettes told them that vaping is the next boogeyman that is going to hurt their kids.

  2. Nobody ever got popcorn lung from vaping. There is more diacetyl in Marlboro 100s than there was in even the most buttery flavored eliquid. Even so, the vaping community/industry did away with using diacetyl without a single case occuring and without even a hint of government oversight. What you're talking about was Evali. Evali was caused by vitamin E acetate - that was in Chinese THC cartridges, not nicotine eliquid. There has never been even a moderate disease linked to nicotine vaping. Also, this isn't about supporting the US vaping industry. It's about supporting the US tobacco companies' vape products. There are hundreds of small, American businesses making mods, tanks, and eliquid. They're all being trampled on by the FDA's regulations. Only the large companies can afford to get through the approval process. Most of those companies are foreign, while two or three are here and are owned (in some capacity) by big tobacco companies. I respect your opinions, Styx. However, in this case, you sound like a MSNBC viewer. Please do some real research into vaping before speaking on the subject.
