        Think of you, your nephew, or your brother could have a #hernia someday. The scaffolding ploy- #plastic that can leach #toxic #Chemicals into their bodies. Happening NOW! #FDA 1976 #510k Fatally flawed for patients, #profitable for #medicaldevice manufactures, stakeholders.

        What a great idea: "health equity." Who could possibly find fault with the idea everyone should be averaged, so that collective rules can be applied to every individual health problem - no matter what their (unique) condition? You are mentally challenged, or corrupt to the bone.

        Unless someone is on prescription opioid pain medications for necessary health conditions. Then we’re thrown under the bus.

        Wouldn't it be nice if you could mealy-mouth your way to taking care of the chronic pain patients, who deserve better than what you're giving them. They're dying in horrible pain. And it is YOUR fault.

        E-cig policy doesn't seem focused on every American, just a small %. 34 MILLION smokers over-index low income and 50% of them will die from smoking. Switching to vapor products will save their lives. But policy seems focused on 3-500k minors vaping regularly that won't kill them
