I'm so conflicted on this. I'm an adult, and I like things that taste good (including flavored vape juice) even if they're not good for me. Again, I'm an adult capable of making my own choices. There are already controls in place to prevent youth from accessing them, and I wholly oppose banning them under the guise of "for the children". So, I'm hoping SC strikes down the block.
That said, this SC is a loose cannon, and if they do strike down the block, they'll probably do it in the worst way possible and declare the whole FDA unconstitutional or something.
I'm curious what they'll do as well as it was Trump's FDA that enacted this and decimated the entire industry which is the sole reason why 90% of people are using disposable vapes now instead of mods like they used to.
How does the FDA block favor disposable vapes? I've also seen that trend of course, just curious how that has contributed to mods falling out.
Because nearly all the US juice companies that were around had their applications rejected by the FDA and shut down once the rules were implemented. I'm honestly not even sure where all these disposibles and the few remaining juice brands are coming from, but it's probably China
disposables are in a quasi-legal loophole
