How about not buying cheap Chinese shit online if it's something you put in your body. I have been vaping for over 12 years and not once have I ever had any complications. Fuck your propaganda.
I agree with you, but the article states she bought these vapes over the counter. She also had asthma and was regularly using her inhaler after vaping, which can’t be good, and also suffering a cold at the same time. Also, was 12 years old and started vaping at 9, going through a 6000-hitter in 2-3 days. As a current vaper I can’t imagine burning through a vape that big unless I’m doing some serious bing drinking
It's funny how we didn't have these problems till the big tobacco companies got involved and started peddling their shit devices in every gas station and convenience store. Vaping came about as harm reduction for those of us that can't get off of nicotine. Anyone selling to kids needs to be given a last cigarette and stood against a lonely, bullet-riddled wall. Maybe we should do vape sales like liquor: state-run, highly regulated stores with extreme penalties for anyone selling to, or buying for, minors. No online sales PERIOD. And no more single-use/pod devices: If you can't handle filling a tank with juice and replacing coils, get fucked.
Ugh but online is so much cheaper and convenient
Bing drinking?
Is that a typo or you can the marching powder (colloquially known as Bing).
Lol definitely a typo, but maybe I’ll start canning some nose beers
