I feel for your friends. My grandson works at a legal dispensary and they sell vape products that are already highly regulated. It is the media's position to report what's going on. It should be the people's responsibility to head the warning or not. Government interference shouldn't be necessary. But than I think people should be able to decide many things themselves that government regulates, i.e. anabolic steroid use.
I feel for my friends, too. I also feel for your friends, and I
fear for all of our friends' health!
