The campaign for lung rot and youth addiction has begun

San Francisco has banned vaping -- that is, sales and distribution of electronic cigarettes not reviewed by the FDA (none are). Also flavored tobacco. Individuals over 21 can use the shit if they want, but sales are no go. The supervisors and the mayor were all in on this one. That's rare.

Naturally the drug peddlers -- Juul, which is headquartered here -- want to fight the measure on the ballot and have collected the necessary signatures. The first piece of campaign mail arrived this week. They've bought some heavy hitters as you can see. I have no doubt we'll be getting this crap by the shovelful from now until November. And straight to recycling it goes.

We'll knock these parasites down in the fall election. Then the battle will continue in the courts where health groups are already suing the FDA for slow walking health evaluations of the harms of vaping.
