VIDEO Walter Block Says Banning Vaping is Fascist


Perhaps we should talk to Trump about banning Diet Coke. It is hurting his health and the deterioration in his mental capabilities is a danger to the entire country. If he wants to be a nanny authoritarian, he should start there.  -RW

  3. The corporate media have been glossing over or flat-out not reporting that all of the serious health issues are from black market marijuana liquid vape juice. Prohibition is a big part of this problem. So what does the gunverment want to do? More prohibition. But not of the substance causing the problems but of what is now legal nicotine vape juice. And specifically the flavored varieties.

    IMO using vape juice is not the best way to consume cannabinoids, nicotine or any other substance. For me this is mostly due to the other ingredients in the juice. Also, vaping may be less damaging than old school smoking but, it is still sucking a gaseous material into the lungs; granted at lower temperature and with less particulates.

    Both cannabinoids and nicotine have many health benefits. The health benefits of cannabinoids have been getting huge attention by all media. But most people do not know about nicotines benefits.

    Here is some info on the health effects of nicotine.

    Nicotine is not a carcinogenic substance, but it may be a ‘tumor promoter’ for some kinds of tumors because it helps in growing new blood vessels which can help your health and brain function, but it can also promote tumors, even if it doesn’t cause cancer itself.

    Animal models indicate that nicotine on its own is much less addictive than tobacco.

    Levels of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin all increase with nicotine usage.

    Similar to the some of the issues brought up in the https://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2019/09/more-on-crashing-life-expectancy-in-us.html
    post, it is not smart to blindly adhere to gunverment and their cronies (or is it more accurate to say cronies and their gunverment).
