In the US , the appropriate word might be, "Anemic". People operating now in essentially grey zones, though, maybe I'm being optimistic, it seems like it might be improving slightly. Unfortunately, Trump has essentially massacred MAGA and America First, and MAHA, and for Food Freedom movement, and essentially the entire historic populist coalition he assembled which could have revolutionized The Republicans party and dominated politically for the next 30 years, much like the Democrats did with FDR, where Republicans did not win Congress for decades. He had this potential but for whatever reason, around the time Elon left, Doge disappeared, and the Epstein debacle exploded, the assassination of CK, these utterly decimated all this and seems to have set him on this irreversible course towards utter doom and completely isolating him from anyone trying to tell him otherwise. It's insane.
I know RFK had plans to reform the institutional view on vaping but as you see, every time he makes a substantial change to something in public health with actually benefits Americans, activist judges are there to remind everyone they not only hold not only Article III powers, but Article II as well, meaning they are the Judiciary as well as the Executive. The check is for Article I powers to be exercised by Congress and impeach activist judges, where there is a far lower bar to meet (essentially bad and immoral behavior, biased rulings) and simply impeaching a couple of these activists would straighten things out REAL QUICK, they don't even need to convict in the Senate.
This is precisely what happened early on when the top US Supreme Court Judge Samuel Chase who was picked by Washington was blatantly ruling in favor of his political biases in 1805, was impeached, not convicted, and all other Federal judges immediately got the message.
The immediate problem is because Trump is so walled in by yes men and Susie Wiles prevents any sane opinions from reaching him, The primary lever is held by the most corrupt AG in American History. It's no coincidence The AG's nickname in FL was "Pay for Play Pam", and she has continued this grift all the way through and will undoubtedly make this the most corrupt administration since Grant's, and Trump seems oblivious. This will destroy the administration if this insane war doesn't destroy it or all of us. Even Legacy Media has picked up on the sheer blatant pay to play schemes run by Bondi, Mike Davis (who is not even a registered lobbyist) who collects millions to let these insane Anti-Trust cases go through and is why we have seen zero action by the DOJ on all the areas we were promised, be it on holding deep state actors to account for the the Russia Hoax, Election Integrity, Food Freedom (the Amish literally delivered him Pennsylvania and they are forgotten and still harassed), Medical Freedom, and Election Reform, as well as her number two and three. The firing of Gail Slater from Anti-Trust was the dell knell.
Even Harmeet Dillion running the Civil Rights division, who started out strong, has clearly decided to play ball rather than bring meaningful remedy to the thousands of Americans still languishing in prison on bogus lawfare which is blatant civil rights violations, such as Amos Miller, Dexter Taylor, Kurt Benshoof, Tina Peters, the names are endless. '
All this to say, short of a miracle, I do not see improvement for vaping in the US since the Pharma industry wields almost unparalleled power.
