Let's put things in perspective, there has been a dozen or so deaths and a hundred or so illnesses attributable to vaping. By comparison, each year in the U.S., nearly 500,000 persons die of smoking and nearly 1,250,000 persons die resulting from automobile accidents.

My issue is whether the governor has authority to unilaterally stop vaping, or any other vice. It certainly is not a public health crisis, when compared to real crises, such as smoking, opioids, obesity, etc. Vape shops have made a significant investment based on the government okaying the product. If we want to stop it, which I'm not against, let's go through the legislative process and do it the right way, democratically.

What's to the stop the governors of these states to stop selling tobacco products, liquor, beer, sugar drinks, etc. We cannot let emotions dictate policy.
