"The e-liquid in most e-cigarettes has nicotine, the same addictive chemical in regular cigarettes, cigars, hookah, and other tobacco products." It is the nicotine that kills not tobacco.

BREAKING: Special Counsel Jack Smith brings down the hammer on Donald Trump and pushes back hard against his suspicious bid to have his criminal trial televised.
Smith knows EXACTLY what Trump is planning...
Over the weekend, Trump's shady lawyers informed the judge that they would support bringing cameras into the courtroom for his criminal case. Usually, trial in federal court are not televised.
In their new filing, Jack Smith's team slammed the MAGA cameras request as "a transparent effort to demand special treatment, try his case in the courtroom of public opinion, and turn his trial into a media event."
They're absolutely right. As fun as it would be to see Trump face his day in court, it's far more important that the case be tried and handled properly. It's more important that Trump end up behind bars.
The prosecutors correctly pointed out in their filing that broadcasting the trial could put he witnesses in danger and leave them open to intimidation efforts. Imagine how Trump would twist the broadcast to inflame his unhinged and violent supporters.
Smith's team pointed out that the press will be able to reporter minute-to-minute updates from inside the court, which should be more than enough.
As much as we'd love to see Donald Trump breaking down in court as a lifetime of crime catches up to him, we are going to trust Jack Smith on this one.
Please retweet and โค๏ธ if you trust Jack Smith โ and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth โ which is only making Tribel grow even faster.
