OK, so people who #vape are 19% more likely to develop heart failure than non-vapers. Sounds scary. Except the risk for cigarette smokers is 200-400% higher than non-smokers. And #ecigs aren't just a "little bit" safer than #cigarettes. They are substantially safer than inhaling tobacco smoke. Finally, "#popcornLung" is not associated with nicotine e-cigs. It's caused by vitamin E acetate used in black market THC #vapes. Health disinformation is harmful.

I'm no fan of , but banning is a stupid, pointless, and potentially discriminatory move that isn't accomplishing anything. As soon as the ban was announced, companies went to work developing a non-menthol menthol clone that provides a similar experience but without the actual menthol. And just like that, the entire basis for the decision to ban menthol has gone up in smoke.

    @AnnaAnthro Are there any smokers in Canada who are unaware of the health effects of cigarettes? If not, then will this measure really make a difference?
