      These faux-moral panics are so fucking stupid. There are like 1,000 things more dangerous - but the vaping industry hasn't paid their bribes through campaign contributions to politicians so here we are.https://twitter.com/thedailybeast/status/1173290629243244544 …

      JUUL actually has a sizable lobbying presence, so I guess this is proof that lobbying interests can be overcome if there's enough moral panic in the airhttps://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/clientsum.php?id=D000070920&year=2018 …

          Very bizarre how this became THE THING that everybody in power instantly agreed needs to be banned.

          All about the master settlement agreement. Do a deep dive. States have borrowed against this and are now screwed.

          It seems the old guard, cigarette lobbyists might still have a bit of sway.

          Juul is owned by Big Tobacco. Juul's owner would actually benefit from a flavor ban. Juul doesn't act in vaping's best interest.

          Especially if Everything gets banned.... and Large corporations can afford to push through FDA approval and start selling again without pesky competition. Win win for big tobacco. #freemarkets

          They probably just decided that the juice isn't worth the squeeze, when they have other groups that aren't that visible in their exploitation of the population, paying them so well

          So does Microsoft not before but only AFTER the government threatened to regulate it's monopolistic ways of the 90's Having a lobbying presence in most cases is a way to pay politicians to leave them alone.
