Vape shops hijacked by those who care-less about harm reduction have crushed the Nicotine vapor industry! Call it what it is peeps. They are convenience stores!
DOGE is seeking help from the public! Please DM this account with insights on finding and fixing waste, fraud and abuse related to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
