1/For the record, the PMTA wasn't just vape companies scrambling to put in the paperwork. Two women - @Charowen2010 & @amandawheeler32 have been working for over a year now to get PMTAs through...

2/The PMTA Facebook group helped over 200 small businesses submit more than 1 million product applications.
3/I've seen the testimonials. I helped some of those businesses. I've seen the recipes and manufacturing standards and business practices
4/I've seen the survey data from customers indicating that they were overwhelmingly:
-adults
-former smokers
-quit smoking
-rely on flavors
5/This is nothing but bureaucracy stomping out small business.
6/And lawmakers utterly confused about #tobaccoharmreduction and basis economics.

Story time!
1/Little known fact, I have like 20 years of F&B under my belt. When I was 7, my parents managed at a popular Midwestern restaurant chain and my Dad would turn every Saturday into a "take your daughter to work day" and have me wait tables from like 6am to 7am
2/Later, I would joke with my Dad that he did that to save labor costs, but he just wanted to spend time with me. In middle school, my parents owned a restaurant. I switched schools and we'd leave our house every day at like 6am to drive 20 minutes to the next town.
3/Us kids would walk to school, go to classes, occasionally go to the restaurant for lunch, and at the end of the school day, my brother and I would wait tables and wash dishes at the restaurant. We often wouldn't get home until long after 9pm.

1/ I read multiple books at a time, and let me tell you, some stark differences between @StatutoryVapeBk & @BarryMeier "Pain Killer: An Empire of Deceit and the Origin of America's Opioid Epidemic"
2/ For example, "On an average day in 2016, 175 people died from an overdose, a rate of seven fatalities pan hour."
Verus:
3/ "At the time this book was published, the CDC reported that there were 64 deaths confirmed in 27 states and the District of Columbia due to vaping-related illnesses."

Carly is an interesting case study in @StatutoryVapeBk & I'll actually probably reference her in future testimonials.
"For me, I think it just started, one day, when one of my friends was like 'I found this. I already have one. Do you want it?"
This is kinda scary to think of this mentality though:
"And so, the first couple times I tried it, I was so distracted by how my body was rejecting it and the coughing that I didn't even want to continue. But then I was like, 'Well, I didn't feel anything.'"
Oh Carly...
"...there's this false perception that people who've smoked cigarettes for twenty years are fine.."
I've got loads of videos on that one.

And here we go - Chapter 2, @StatutoryVapeBk brings up Dr. Wilson Tsai (who apparently doesn't know the difference between vaping and smoking - ie vaping is not combustion) but then brings out popcorn lung
Here we go again. Diacetyl.
Popcorn lung.
Amazing how smokers who are subjected to WAY more diacetyl have yet have a single case of popcorn lung...
This Canadian kid that is referenced here.. "would often add THC to the liquid."
