According to reports a sixth person, a woman in her 50s, has died due to exposure from using vaping products. To me it is not surprising that inhaling vaporized juice can cause damage to lungs the same way that tobacco smoke can.
What is surprising is that the government is promising swift action to "protect its citizens" from this product. I then started to wonder in what timeframe do six Americans die from ...
• being unable to take necessary medicine to keep alive due to the high cost of the product?
• not getting vaccinated for a disease due to unfounded fears of the product?
• accidents created by someone who is intoxicated or buzzed?
• motorists that ignore construction or police on the side of the road?
• disease caused by poor living conditions such as toxic water?
• not having a roof over their head or enough food to eat?
• a law enforcement officer who made a decision to act that was influenced by the color of someone's skin?
• being overseas wearing a military uniform in a war which those who started it have been long dead?
• suicide after being unable to cope with life following military service?
• suicide after being traumatized by others because of what they are?
• attacks because of what they are?
And ... How quickly can six Americans die when one person gets hold of a weapon designed to kill many and uses it on a group of people?
Though I appreciate the idea of the government protecting its citizens, there are far more significant things to examine than vaping.
