I dont think chemgears constant fear mongering in this thread is going to do much to change the minds of those that have used ecigs to better their health and improve their lives.

I'm not sure I understand. I'm seeing this in the news. Are you saying "fake news?"
EDIT:
You seem REALLY defensive and panicky. Nobody is trying to take vaping away from adults.
The FDA and the US Center for Disease Control are sending out warnings about increasing CHILD and TEENAGE usage ffs. Schools are in the news about usage in middle school and high school. Roving gangs of police aren't banging at your door to take vaping away from you.
They say nothing about taking it away from adults. Nor have I.
This is what they published:
https://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsr.../ucm625917.htm
Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released new findings from the National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) showing that more than 3.6 million middle and high school students were current (past 30 day) e-cigarette users in 2018, a dramatic increase of more than 1.5 million students since last year.
According to the findings, the number of U.S. high school students who reported being current e-cigarette users increased 78 percent between 2017 and 2018 to 3.05 million (or 20.8 percent). Numbers among middle school students rose 48 percent to 570,000 (or 4.9 percent). The study authors suggest the rise in e-cigarette use in the last year is likely due to the recent popularity of certain types of e-cigarettes, such as JUUL.
“By one measure, the rate of youth e-cigarette use almost doubled in the last year, which confirms the need for FDA’s ongoing policy proposals and enforcement actions. HHS’s work will continue to balance the need to prevent youth use of e-cigarettes with ensuring they are available as an off-ramp for adults who are trying to quit combustible cigarettes.”
The uptick in e-cigarette use has led overall tobacco product use to increase by 38 percent among high school students (to 27.1 percent) and by 29 percent among middle school students (to 7.2 percent) in the last year, reversing the positive decline seen over the last few years.
