BOSTON - Massachusetts officials on Friday are expected to defend their crackdown on sales of vaping products in a courtroom battle testing the toughest prohibitions yet in a rapidly developing response to e-cigarettes and their potential link to a lung disease.
Baker’s move came as federal officials on Thursday reported that 18 people have died from a mysterious vaping-linked illness that has sickened more than 1,000 in the United States. [nL3N26O3M2] VTA, which sued along with the operators of several vape shops in Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Hampshire, said the order amounts to an unconstitutional prohibition on retail and online advertising of their legal products.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has linked vaping to 18 deaths and 1,080 confirmed and probable cases nationally in mostly otherwise healthy people who contracted the mysterious respiratory illness. It has said most patients affected reported using products containing THC.
That's liberalism for you. Vaping is one of the safest things humans do, so they Ban it. VoteRedToSaveAmerica
Gov. Baker is a MORON. The ilness stems from dumb ppl using illicitly made THC products containing VITAMIN E. I really hope this ban doesn't hold up in court.
I hope they’re doing the same ban on cigarettes.....
Go ban yourself, Massachusetts.
