That’s true! It wants tax money.
Proof?
While one will be able to buy it, unless one holds a medical marijuana designation, one cannot grow it for themselves.

But people will grow it themselves. I guess I don’t understand the banning of flavored e liquid and vaping all together whilst legalizing marijuana. Whatever rules the states and government makes, we always find ways around them.

Here come the “warm jets” of corporate “falling all over themselves to appear to do the correct dance-moves”, as nimrods everywhere fall in love with yet another specious and egregious distortion of facts:

(September 18, 2019): “CBS, Viacom, and WarnerMedia ban e-cigarette advertisements amid vaping health crisis - Following a similar CNN ban last week”

It would (perhaps) be humorous to hear from some of the Brits sticking like hoof-glue to Boris Bonkers in similar manner as some of our own Plebians are stuck on Donny Dotard. We (may) have outdone them ?

Murdoch has succeeded in effectuating the decadent nihilistic collapse of public trust on multiple continents, keeping the world safe for totalitarian gangster-kings without a shred of moral principles. Vladimer is glowing.

Thanks for the reference to Willie Hutch (a Motown sound artist in the late 1960s): " … Can’t Miss … ".

China, the largest producer and consumer of tobacco, halted online sales of vaping products made by US vape maker Juul Labs. … Beijing was already gearing up to regulate the sector, fearing that e-cigarettes would ultimately create a new generation of nicotine addicts …

.

Online sales of products from e-cigarette company Juul Labs, Inc. have halted in China just days after the company launched there.

.

This month, the Hong Kong government announced plans to push ahead with a controversial blanket ban on all e-cigarettes and heat-not-burn products. Under the sweeping draft law, which begins its path through the legislature on February 20, anyone who imports, makes, sells or promotes new smoking products could face six months in jail or a HK$50,000 ($6,370) fine.

.

The global vaping market suddenly looks much smaller than it did a few days ago, even threatening the mega-merger of tobacco companies like Altria and Philip Morris.

(September 20, 2019): The percentage of Americans who understand that e-cigarettes are less hazardous than the conventional, combustible kind has fallen by 14 points since June 2018 … Public understanding of the relative risks posed by vaping and smoking was already declining before the lung disease scare, thanks to equivocating and sometimes outright false statements by anti-smoking activists and public health officials. … Misleading statements about “vaping-related” respiratory illnesses, which by the federal government’s latest count include 530 cases and seven fatalities, seem to have widened the gap between what the science shows and what the public believes. … The Morning Consult poll found that 58 percent of respondents, based on what they had “seen, read, or heard on the news lately,” believed people had “died from lung disease” caused by “ecigs, such as Juul,” compared to 34 percent who said the cases involved “marijuana or THC e-cigs.”

Disinformation campaigns work. Propaganda is effective.

" The great effort of civilization has been, and still is, the attempt to introduce a principle of control into that casual swarm of impressions which makes up men’s thought and of which, especially with swayed by emotion, spontaneous action is the law." - George Edward Woodberry
