As many of you know who follow me, know that I am for regulations and as a three-year vape user, not only did I stop smoking cigarettes, I quit smoking and now I can climb stairs without trying to catch my breath. Smoking cigarettes for more than 30 years had its toll on me...luckily, my lungs were strong and cancer was nonexistent. Still, even with no one in my family suffered from lung cancer (well, one relative died of a heart issues at 93 and another from lung issues in his 90s, our family never died from lung cancer, but still, I may not be genetically prone to cancer, I hated breathing as though I ran a marathon after running up 11 stories...(I'd make a lousy firefighter). Still, our government (the FDA I'm learning), selectively regulates products while turning a blind-eye to others.

I recently bought a vape product and found out that the store employee was breaking a state regulation. The employee helped build my atomizer because I did not know how to build the atomizer. Atomizers is where the liquid is stored, the atomizer contains the liquid, cotton and coil. Since there are many parts, I needed help. I later found out that employees can no longer "build" a tank or coil. All the employee can do is sell the product and no longer touch the product once the sale is complete...luckily, the employee knows me.

I also found out that the FDA wants to regulate the vaping industry. The FDA wants to make sure that every part of the industry is safe, so they would have to regulated:

Every detail as seen in the photo as well as the mod and don't forget the battery/batteries Then there is the juice, the nicotine level: 0, 24 mg of nicotine, the size of the bottle of the juice that's sold, the heating coil, cotton to soak the liquid, and all the intricacies that make an eCig and eCig. I have no issues with that. I also have no issue with taxes, as taxes on nicotine would pay for social programs. I also don't have a problem with employees not allowed to say eCigs are safer than cigarettes. At first I was a little miffed at the fact that juices sold without nicotine would be taxed as a cigarette, but the organic cotton, the coils are all tobacco products...this is all fine to me.

The issue I have is that, the FDA with all its full power to regulate, cannot or maybe will not regulate GMOs. Now labeling food that is GMO may be banned too, because, it harms the corporation's bottom line, because people may not want to purchase a corn for example made with nuclear waste or something ridiculous...(I am NOT accusing any corporations of this, as this is my opinion), yet a product that helped me stop smoking cigarettes, is under more scrutiny than a corporation that can combine the DNA of an animal with another species, not knowing the health effects in the long run...imagine a glowing trout, so a fisher can see where the trout is at night?

I have no issue with regulations and if a company cannot afford the regulation, then as a corporation, they must cease to exist, as being an entrepreneur is a privilege not a right, with that said, the same application must be applied to labeling on GMO food and its products so that what is consumed is safe. So unless the same stringent regulation on the vaping industry is applied on GMO, then we truly are not a democracy and yes, money can truly buy democracy.
