Things that make you go hmmm?

Good evening Alan May ,

You are so right! I've been pondering this since the deaths from vaping came into the news. Certainly these deaths are not taken lightly but if they are going to ban vaping then why not smoking tobacco and related products? Doesn't make sense???

These topics are just some of the "shaking my head" moments. Because the logic escapes me. 

Alan- excellent point. Ahhhh as always $$ speaks. 

and can you explain to me why anyone is surprised that when you put nicotine in your body bad things happen? 

It's a dilemma for sure, Alan. I've been thinking this myself with all the news on vaping recently.

That makes me go hmmm about why we have not tightened up gun laws either, while still respecting peoples second amendment rights.

Hello Alan. All I can say to your common sense ask of hmmmm is bingo! Enjoy your day.

Ick. It's all stinky to me!

                                           Thank you, Alan. 

Good morning Alan. I don't get it either. Your point is really well made.

Good point. Vaping has been getting very popular, and is taking $$ away from the cigarette industry.... hmmmmm

Occassionaly, I can smell that sickeningly sweet vaping odor when I am stuck in traffic and somebody has their window down. Generally, it's a  young person. I think that's part of the current panic - vaping products, not well regulated and marketed toward a younger generation. Not saying cigarettes or chew are any better, but that might be part of the current action we're seeing. I do see your point too. 

Totally get your point here, Alan.  Many, many things kill people yet the government chooses what to ban.  Maybe they need to outlaw stupidity and people would stop dying.

I am surprised it has taken this long to build up a head of steam on this subject. No-pun intended or is it?

I read a study done by the British equivalent of the National Institute of Health. It said vaping as bad as it is, was 95% safer than cigarettes!

I don't get the whole vaping craze - I just don't. Did they not learn how bad cigarettes are for ones health. Apparently not. I heard some crazy number of how many teens are vaping....not good. And people dying from vaping due to illegal substances?  Hmmmmmm

No doubt a lot of things should be banned if they hurt you or someone else physically or psychologically.  But this is a 'free country' and we have the choice to make and must accept the consequences.  Vaping now is dangerous, as pointed out above, because there are 'aftermarket' sellers who will spike the sauce...

Yes the government the protector of all good and the banner of all evil.  Remember when eggs according to the government was bad and then good for you?  With this reasonsing, we better ban swimming pools, walking and less us not forget about cars.  I am with you Alan May  as I go hmm a lot.

Maybe they ought to allow chewing gum in school. Much safer.
