Raja is up for re-election with only one person running against him, Preston Nelson. He is a Libertarian which are all pro-vaping and Preston told me that he will create an account on here to validate it. His campaign has started with his website being www.vote4nelson.com.

I've seen this "Raja" guys name before.
I think this is one of that group of people who keep sending letters to the FDA

If you think about it no teens should be able to sustain a vaping "addiction" during the middle of a pandemic, At least not without the help of a family member in the same house they were locked down in from March to June.

I don't even think this is about teens vaping being "bad" to these people, it's more likely about collecting the tax money from those would be teen smokers.

I know cigarettes aren't suddenly more expensive to make but the price has more than doubled in a decade.

If we keep continuing down the path we are on then I wouldn't be surprised one bit to see a $15 bottle of eliquid with a $30 tax in our near future.

I saw an article the other day about a major reduction in teen vaping. If I have a chance I will try and find it to link to it.

So after Pizza I found this one.

Big drop reported in vaping by U.S. teenagers

Just under 20 percent of high school students and 5 percent of middle-schoolers said they had recently used e-cigarettes and other vaping products.

Here is another interesting article

That big claim that vaping leads to smoking may be based on insubstantial evidence

A new study shows that, over time, overall smoking rates actually decreased faster after vaping became popular.
