@GrimmGreen It’s a good step forward. However, it makes me wonder if the only reason Zyn was authorized is because they’re owned by big tobacco.
Hoping though this means actual Eliquid flavors are next on the approval dockets
Dear Moose Jooce North Customers,
I regret to inform you that Moose Jooce North will be closing its doors May 20th.
We’re closing before the Michigan government shuts down vaping and hands it over to big tobacco. (I’m expecting that sometime next year. They won’t do it now before an election, but they will in November’s Lame Duck session.)
Moose Jooce closing is 100% the fault of our governments inaction on counterfeit Chinese dispos in gas stations and CStores.
· Government regulations and interference? Check.
· Lies like popcorn lung from the MDHHS? Yep.
· Cheap Chinese knockoffs flooding gas stations like a bad case of Covid, with the intention of putting vape stores out of business? You betcha.
· Upcoming laws that'll make vaping flavors nearly impossible? Oh, you better believe it.
Despite our persistent advocacy, starting the MVSO, trips to Lansing, suing the FDA and the State of Michigan, writing and calling Representatives and Senators over the last 10 years, trying to get politicians to see vaping as a significantly safer alternative to smoking, Lansing's priorities lie elsewhere—in tobacco tax revenues.
We extend our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support and loyalty throughout our journey. The relationships we've forged with you, our phenomenal customers, have been nothing short of remarkable, and for that, Allie and I are profoundly thankful.
Please know that we've done everything short of performing a human sacrifice to keep this dream alive. At least we sleep better knowing that over 3,500 of you are now non smokers.
We encourage you to continue supporting local businesses and entrepreneurs in our community.
With love and a touch of bitterness,
Kim
@WHOEMRO Tell me about it! I had a friend who bought a disposable vape from a gas station, walked outside and after taking ONE puff BAM!
Got hit by a bus.
@jonathanstea@GrimmGreen So a direct quote from an accredited scientific study would fall under…*checks notes*…not science according to your reasoning then?
We were about to tackle this article, but then we saw that @VaporAmerican already has a must-read takedown that actually forced @USATODAY to make some (but not all) corrections of the blatant disinformation. 👇🧵
We're tracking those wonderful moments where #fakenews on #vaping gets called out on @CommunityNotes.
We’ve seen some really funny - and quite shocking - examples of people who really should know better having their posts torn to shreds

I remember being at this meeting, giving my public statement to the board of health, watching many others do the same, all the while the representatives on that board were watching with black stars, not really listening, and already had a decision made.
