Eighty national public health groups, including the American Heart Association, the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Preventative Medicine, placed a full-page ad in Sunday’s edition of the Washington Post in support of a federal ban on menthol in cigarettes and all flavored cigars.

“The answer is clear,” the full-page ad says. “Saving lives starts by ending the sale of menthol cigarettes and all flavored cigars.

“Smoking kills nearly half a million people in the United States each year, and these addictive, deadly products are a big part of the problem. The FDA and White House have our full support to release lifesaving rules prohibiting menthol cigarettes and all flavored cigars.”

      Disposable vapes should be illegal for sure. Everywhere. Like it’s not fucking hard to change a coil. It’s not hard to even wrap a coil and change a cotton wick. Disposables are the shittiest laziest things and create insane amounts of waste, like you said.

      Quick edit: make your own juice, wrap your own coils, and vaping is basically free from then on.
