On the basis of public health alone, limiting the ability of adults to access reduced-risk and proven-effective alternatives to cigarettes is an unjust assault on consumer freedom.
This really is all that matters. I'm glad to see that this man seems to understand that....this march toward prohibition will do irreparable harm to the coalition needed by Republicans to secure victory in 2020.
If, however, they impose a ban on flavored nicotine e-cigarettes, they should know they are threatening a potentially powerful political constituency.

If there ever were a time I'd love to be wrong, it's now, but he is however a lot more optimistic regarding the influence that vapers wield in the political realm than I am. His examples are not airtight at all.
If the president's advisors were to become convinced of what this article is saying and hence convince him, it would make a world of difference though. At least at the national level.
If played wisely by a sharp campaign manager it could be sold as the ever independent Donald Trump defying big tobacco and big pharma in the name of truth, the public good and even saving the children from the real threat. Don't hold your breath. There's plenty of Republicans on the anti vaping bandwagon too. This one is not a pet project of the left.
And voted for which effectively pro vaping candidate exactly?Even listing the numbers of vapers in each state doesn’t really mean anything, unless each and every one went out and voted. I agree, this isn’t left or right; it boils down to personal belief. And stupid lives on both sides.
I read a comment that said Trump won Michigan by 11,000 votes and there are 442,000 vapers in Michigan. Same can be said for a lot of swing StatesThere's some interesting discussion on the author's TWITTER FEED
But the point is, what if he loses? Which candidate on the Dem side is pro vaping? There ARE other issues to consider when voting too. Like national defense, the geopolitical arena, the budget/taxes etc.I read a comment that said Trump won Michigan by 11,000 votes and there are 442,000 vapers in Michigan.

The thesis of the dailydot article is speculative and anything other than conclusive, which brings up 2 quick things.
I already know all that.NObody can win a presidential election in this country without the backing of one of the 2 major parties. At best they can bleed off enough votes from one candidate to hand the whitehouse to the other (Ross Perot/long story) Even if they snuck through an election with party backing, they cannot ever put any long term policy on the street without that backing once in office. A United States president is not king of the country. He cannot enact law by fiat decree. Even if personally pro vaping, which is anything other than a given, he would tow the party line once elected. They all do. Getting elected to and staying in office, even at the senatorial level, is NOTHING like doing so at the presidential one.
I can barely wait to see that vid!Also, I would publicly burn myself at the stake and have somebody put it on youtube before voting for Bernie Sanders. Vaping or not.
