    I feel like I’ve seen this one before… Like every place on the planet that’s done it. And all those other times when it was something else before vapes were even a thing.

    No. I’m sure it’ll work this time.

    What the actual fuck Mexico. What basis is it even using for this vape ban? Have any harms been discovered of vapes yet? And no, the self-defeatism of the unscientific precautionary principle does not count, nor does media fearmongering by the media

      I’d bet my 100w box that it’s the same as always: Big tobacco lobbying, bribing and fearmongering.

        I’ve been pretty up to date on the research. What are you trying to say?
