So seriously - who's peddling this anti-vaping propaganda and what's their goal?

And

Vaping is easily the most effective way to stop smoking that's ever existed.

Care to make a wild guess who's behind the propaganda?

    The entire history of banning shit like cigarette advertising and flavors is regulatory capture.

    Awful lot of common people in support of this shit, though.

    I reckon you’re 100% on the money here. The big tobacco companies push all this drama and concern about the health effects so that everyone thinks the industry needs to be more regulated, that allows them to kill off the smaller competition and push up prices.

    You don't actually know what regulatory capture is, do you?

    When you use regulations to keep or increase your market share? Yeah. Look up the history of advert bans. When big tobacco feels threatened or could save money congress passes laws for them. It's sick. Our country is sick.
