I think we think alike. The other night on the evening news they did a bit about teens vaping/smoking more MJ "because" they can get away with it by hiding the smell by vaping.

The tobacco companies lied for decades about the dangers of smoking. Our products are sold next to, treated like, and viewed the same as smoking products by the 85% of the population who don't smoke.

Here is my fantasy that will never happen but if you think about it, maybe it should:

The US FDA announces the only potential harm from vaping is nicotine abuse. Therefore, they recommend a 500% federal tax increase on cigarettes from $1.01 per pack to $5.00 per pack. Additionally, the maximum tax on e-cigs/vape products will be 10%. This will essentially force people to quit harmful, deadly, expensive smoking and switch to vaping which will save millions of lives and tens of millions of dollars in health related expenses.

The people in long white coats are looking for me so I need to go hide now...
