The Real Problem with Vaping


What’s the difference between a Kwik-E-Mart and a Smoke & Vape? 
Other than the verity of products offered, really not too much when it comes to the vape, smoke industry. I mean both do sell vapor and smoke related products but do you know much about the products they sell? More importantly do they? Most couldn’t even tell you that a vapor device needs an 18650 battery to operate, neither know much about the THC products other than what the box itself says, and to be honest that’s if they even took the time to read that much! Fact is most of these stores simply grab a few items from a local distributor and put it on their shelves and call themselves vape or smoke shops or dealers! If Walmart started doing outpatient surgeries would you trust it? Why not? You’re literally Trusting your life to a store when you buy a cart or vapor product! I call your attention to the 2018 vape crisis where people were getting the infamous vape lung, we later found out vape lung had absolutely nothing to do with traditional vaping, whether it be nicotine, or THC vaping! It was caused by vaping illegally produced THC carts made in someone’s basement cut with vitamin E oil, a substance that’s harmless to humans unless vaporized and inhaled. Vitamin E oil will burn your lungs and limit their ability to process oxygen! 

Information is key: when it comes to anything you are using, Vape products, THC products, gummies, edibles, etc. find out as much as possible, ask the store what they know, scan the item before purchasing it, read the COA “Certificate of Analysis”, if you don’t understand how to read or understand a COA don’t feel bad many don’t, but again ask the store, if they don’t, leave and go directly to a professional Vape Shop, I guarantee they will, and will be happy to answer all your questions! 

21 or older: When it comes to America’s youth vaping the argument has been made that vaping is safer than smoking, and as a parent I’d much rather see my child vape vs smoke, while I understand the point the fact remains that it’s simply an irrelevant argument as the law states you must be 21 years or older to purchase vapor products! Fact is America's vape stores are NOT the problem, they are mostly small businesses who don’t want to be fined, and card everyone! The vape & smoke Kwik-E-Marts on the other hand, sell, sell, sell, sorry folks, facts are facts!
