The sad story of a small business crushed by draconian overregulation:
Hi @DrWoodcockFDA , I wanted to give you the human side of what's now done. I quit smoking w/ #vaping over 9 years ago, and w/ $400 I started my vape business. I was driven by an evangelical need to-1/12
The @US_FDA yesterday was handed an 80 plus pages of get bent by the 5th circuit judges
The Judges saw the truth
What is the truth?
The FDA lied to tens of thousands of small US vapor businesses
Convinced them to spend combined 100s of millions of dollars to remain legal
Then changed the rules for approval after all applications had already been filed
And shut down countless small vapor businesses, built on the backs of ex smokers they helped quit
The FDA lied
The FDA cheated
The FDA closed 10s of thousands of businesses
And most importantly
The FDA hindered American smokers from truthful information and from the most effective products ever developed for quitting the deadliest addiction in human history ....FLAVORED VAPOR PRODUCTS
The FDA is actively harming public health
The FDA needs to pay for the damages it has done both financially and emotionally to the tens of thousands of small vapor businesses whom they have harmed with their WILLFUL lies
Thank God we still have at least a few judges who rule on facts and not political pressure

CASAA assists @ECigIntel with their annual U.S. survey of adults who vape by helping develop survey questions that aid #vaping advocacy efforts. As we do every year, CASAA is asking our members to participate in this year’s survey!

A lot can happen in 10 years.
I’m still helping adults switch from deadly #smoking to lifesaving+quality of daily life improving #nicotine#vaping products.
I do have many more 21yr and ^ #NeverSmoker customers than ever thanks to #FDA and @ParentsvsVape#prohibition saber rattling. Thanks I guess?
I personally think there will be >1.5 more per capita nicotine habituated people in 5 years than there were in 1950.
Vaping will be the normal method people use.
Combustion cigs will be scarce, but around for the poor and mentally ill (at this rate-most of us, but I’ll still vape)
@GrimmGreen was on target as usual as were a couple of others in this piece. Hey-but what do I know? I run a banned business that’s simultaneously licensed by the banning state to gouge more taxes out of their inmates ahem..I mean constituents wallets for the forbidden products.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@foxisdeadtome @RobertKennedyJr Trump is what room temp IQ people picture as a “smart outsider” successful businessman who’ll fight for the regular guy.
He’s not.
It will be a nightmare. It will stay corrupt w/ any of the current candidates.
#RFKJr is the last chance of avoiding #Rome2
@LanceChurchill I can’t keep up w/ the breakneck speed and and decisiveness of execution availing tremendous life-saving power of #nicotine#vaping to all current adult #smokers in the 🇺🇸
What a refreshing change to the dog and pony bullshit the of Fed!
@FDATobacco 🥂
@FDATobacco So, you’ll “help” me cut my product offerings from hundreds to the 8 +/-items you’ve approved? Problem is: <1% of adults want those.
I won’t sell cigarettes- I’ve watched your backwards policies send people back to to them.
🤔
How will you help?
@VapourVanAalst I’ve been owner/operator of 2 busy metro shops for over 10 years if you’re looking for material.
I’ve got stories that can drop your jaw, or blow your hair back-many of them both.
Reply if interested-I’ll open my DMs. 🤙

Ahhh yeah- NJ…the state that banned flavored vapes while the treasury created a tax on eliquid.
I’ve been to Trenton-I know legislators and treasury ride the same small elevator 🤦🏼♂️
#TrueStory :
There’s a guy who is getting his 4th annual Vapor license soon.
Taxes paid monthly since… (1333 days)
Much more than $1 mil in eliquid tax alone in that time (roads, schools, maybe Menendez got a taste 🤣)
This guy/story should be on 60 minutes-because you can’t make this shit up-and it’s true.
Get in touch w/ him-he’s dying to talk about it to only you Greg.
He’s got the receipts.
Happy Holidays too!
🤡 🌎
Still helping smokers. 🤷🏼♂️

It is a big deal.
So many are asleep. The others are ‘redirected’ by the pablum of personalities. It’s sad this world that’s being crafted by cowards and war pigs-and everyone 40 and under will not have the freedoms I was born into.
@KilladazeMusic @KRoyMMA@notlouisck I was just going to comment same as the Michigan gent 🤙
I add that the price is good-I order 2 sleeves a year-but enjoy vaping, I (own 2 vapeshops)😆 but the govt likes cigarettes more for the taxes, and their paylords tell them to-so they destroyed that as well.
@cwinkler85@RobertKennedyJr He’s not weak on corruption-
FFS he opening talks about the military industrial complex, Black Rock et al
Without secret service protection!
