8 deaths in the year in America when hundreds of thousands who reside here vape as well,however the push is to outright ban it.

More than 880000 alcohol related deaths occur in America each year, however there is no panic or hysteria about that.

If the CDC was really about human safety in this regard, alcohol would have been banned.

However, its most likely the tobacco industry doing their best along with politicians to get their main competitors banned here in America.

This vaping hysteria is all being fabricated. Strange how folks are vaping around the world yet this hysteria and alarm is primarily occurring here in America.

Then people get illegal black market ones that are worse and even more people die. Prohibition proved banning drugs and stuff like this doesnt work.

Yet in a world where other people in other countries are also vaping, this hysteria is primarily limited to America.
I guess other first world countries care less about their kids that's why we're number 1 in having the most overweight ones.

Cocaine is nowhere near as addictive or dangerous as meth and heroine.

People who casually or socially do cocaine is pretty normal, the same is not often said of the other two.

The FDA does regulate nic vaping to an extent, and people have been doing it for over a decade now. This recent hysteria is from back alley THC vapes being cut with bad shit, and big tobacco muddying the waters by pushing propaganda that nic vapes are the cause. You're pretty uninformed for a supposed doctor.

I get that vaping is meant to be less harmful that smoking but I wonder how many new young people have started vaping in the last five years that wouldnt have otherwise.

Also isnt the main concern with the deaths around dodgy unregulated thc vape juices? Banning vaping because people are smoking stuff someone made in their bedroom is like banning alcohol cause someone died drinking some 90% ethanol someone cooked up at home.

you seem really sure about that and i have to ask why.

because i read this thing

Both the government and the media know that vaping is a soft target that won't get much sympathy from the general public. It's a relatively new subculture, which makes it extra susceptible to the fearmongering on display; news outlets can even get away with occasionally mentioning 'well yeah, all these deaths are related to aftermarket THC,' and no one without a vested interest in vaping will think twice about it.

That is hardly any proof that vaping was responsible for their death.
The CDC is making a vague assumption based on the fact that those who died had vaping in common.

If that were the case, we'd have worldwide vaping related deaths and not just 11 death only in America.

wake up!!

Cigarettes suck and Big Tobacco is evil. That's an ongoing issue.

Vaping is an unregulated and untested phenomena that advocates like to push as a "safe" way to get nicotine when there is absolutely no proof that it is the case. Just because thousands of people haven't died instantly yet doesn't mean it's safe or healthy. Vaping is literally in its infancy. It's the equivalent to a fad diet right now.

Folks who understand that harms of smoking and the additive nature of nicotine advocate for vaping over smoking.
11 vaping related deaths worldwide does not show causation.

It's way too early to say vaping is safe because a bunch of people haven't already gotten lung and heart disease and died. We can advocate for not criminalizing drug use without pushing fake news about it being safe.

Pretty much this. The motivation and the justification do not match up here, which reeks of governmental / media ineptitude at best and conspiracy at worst. And like I said before, vaping is an easy target in which people without a vested interest in it won't read past the headlines. Even if vaping itself turns out to be the health crisis everyone's making it out to be, this is being done for all the wrong reasons.

Neither side of this argument bears the burden of proof, since vaping is still largely new and untested. The only proof present is that these deaths and illnesses are the result of aftermarket products, which is both a poor excuse for a ban, and is a problem that a ban wouldn't fix.

Your motivation here is 'well, vaping is probably bad for you anyway, so what's the harm in banning it?' The harm is that a ban will either push vapers into black-market alternatives (which are proven to be bad for you), or back into regular cigarettes (which are also proven to be bad for you).

What Americans need to be asking themselves is, why in a world where folks are vaping globally, are there only vape related deaths in America.

Is there some unique interaction between vaping and our air of freedom or is it pure bullshit being fabricated by the government and CDC.
