Leave it to Sharyl Attkisson to ask questions nobody wants asked about the e-cigarette ban. It’s not the first time the actual investigative journalist has been front and center pushing buttons about a hot topic …
1-Always interesting to see that when powerful/financial interests want to alert us to health issues, you get a daily count, list of states, etc. But when they don't want us to know of a particular risk or issue, it's very hard to find in the public dialogue.

Eeeek.
6-But I have a feeling we are about to hear about every single e-cigarette incident. Again, not saying there isn't reason for concern, it's just that I believe financial interests wants us concerned about that and not other health issues.

Where’s the cigarette ban?
Wait, let’s not give them any ideas.
Note: To be completely transparent, this editor is not a smoker or a vaper (and honestly is not a fan of either) but the government banning something at this level is not a good thing. Like, at all. What’s next? A ban on sugar? Wheat? Fast food?
Yeah, we know you know, but it’s a slippery slope, folks.
