Can't get them through mail order which is way way cheaper than the vape stores. It was never about "health or the kids". It's about missed tax revenue.

Don't do it. I used to order cigarettes through the mail. You don't want to see the tax bill you'll pay when the state catches up to you. Trust me, I cried that day.

And the worst part was, I had quit smoking over a year before, so I felt like I should catch a break. I mean their sin tax caused me to stop smoking. Isn't that supposedly what they wanted?

No, sorry, it IS about the kids. When you can make nicotine, THC or fentanyl taste like grape, strawberry or bubble gum you make it more likely children will want to or be willing to try it.

So why is it that I can walk into any liquor store right now and buy Swedish Fish and cotton candy vodka, and a slew of other candy flavored booze that could kill someone?

You could literally put fentanyl in anything and make it harmful.

I bet you believe people put THC in Halloween candy too lol.

Dude they do it anyway. I was just in Switzerland. At 16 kids get out of exams and go right the packy for a 6 of wine coolers. The world keeps on spinning.

Oh boy, Fox telling you what you should be afraid of? Never! Same shit as the "they're putting edibles in your kid's Halloween candy" rhetoric.

...and child-eating pedos in the basement of a DC pizza shop. Fox viewers are dumber than a box of rocks.

Pearl-clutching fear-mongering AT BEST. This makes no sense at all.

If you know anything about central Pennsylvania (aka Pennsyltuckey to us natives), you’d know flavored vapes are the least of their problems with opioids. And if you consumed any information outside of Faux News, you’d know that the opioid epidemic conflates their completely backwards “solutions” rooted in aggravating racism and ignoring poverty. Issues that progressives (not libertarians and conservatives) actually care to solve.

For the record, this Gizz person is very likely a complete clown and Libertarians are just Republicans who think they’re the smartest person in the room. Just thought I’d provide something for you to read since you Fox News people are such cRiTiCaL tHiNkErS.

🤣 Every comment you've made here is hilarious. I wish it was satire but you're actually being serious. They can really convince boomers of the dumbest shit if they throw it up on FOX 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
