TAXES. TAXES. TAXES. TAXES.
The only people who lie and steal more than an alcoholic / junkie is a Politician.
Vaping was basically tax free, purchased online (hello, USPS, UPS and FedEx bans), proven to be safer than smoking burning tobacco (hello, Big Tobacco Lobby), and could improve the quality of life without doctors, nurses, prescriptions or treatments (hello, Big Pharma Lobby).
The multi-billion dollar industries, similar to the industries we send our imperial military across the world to defend American (Billionaire) Interests, have purchased your so-called Representative many times over.
And no one can simultaneously be oblivious of reality while repeating preposterous falsehoods like a Politician who wants more tax revenue.
