If you read my past posts you probably know I’m not a very serious man but in light of recent and maybe even more distant events I feel the need to express myself, mostly for me because I feel that pressure in me about this subject and I need a valve, something to relief myself of that because every fucking time I hear news about this subject my blood boils. So here it is, my pissed off rant.

When I first started vaping which was about 3 years ago the vaping community, at least in my country, wasn’t very worried about regulations and most people even wanted regulations for underage people. At that time there wasn’t many bullshit about vaping in the media so nobody gave a fuck and all of us thought it either would stay that way or it would simply be banned for people under 18 which was good in our eyes. But for few last months I hear people talking about FDA and other health organisations wanting to create regulations that would cause the vaping market to be thrown into the hands of tobacco companies which for fuck’s sake was the exact opposite of what we wanted. My first thought when I heard about things in the U.S was that I’m lucky I don’t live in America but the second thought was times more terrifying. I started to think about historical analogies to that situation and I realized that when something gets regulated or banned in the U.S, it’s usually a matter of time for other countries to follow, especially mine where our media praise American health institutes for every statement they make.

Fair warning though, I’m not going to go into specific reasons they say are for regulations but rather I’m going to make this about the whole issue and especially our freedom. Besides I don’t have enough knowledge of American government and its procedures to talk about that.

The most terrifying thing I heard on the subject is the idea coming from FDA to require certification for every vaping product and I know that at least here where I live it’s pretty time consuming and expensive to get that kind of thing. My only thought I have about that is simple, classic but pretty hard „WHAT THE FUCK”. For fuck’s sake they practically want to tell us what to do and what we can buy. Probably many people after reading that sentence will think ” WTF, so what we should allow everything to be bought and there should be no government oversight?”. Well, I think that if something can’t hurt another person if you buy it or use it, then it’s our fucking choice. Pretty reasonable right?? Well, we see it’s not for everyone because we hear many voices that the government should regulate that so we know that we’re not poisoning ourselves or something. Well, you see if you’re 18 years old and you can’t decide for yourself what’s good for you or not, then you’re fucking stupid. Some people want to be fucking machines that want to have everything on the table and not think about if they should do that or not. Well, if you want some guys that think they can decide what’s good for people to tell you what to do and just eat, sleep and not think then you just proved that you stopped to be human. For fuck’s sake we have our brains for a reason and we probably (at least most of us) can think for ourselves and we can decide basing our decision on research if something is good for us or worth the risk. And in that way we get to the bottom of the problem.

The problem is mostly not with governments and other people but with every single one of us and I’m not talking about vapers exclusively, because if people wouldn’t get so fucking comfortable and numb (yes reference to Pink Floyd intended) then we wouldn’t allow for regulating. But the worst problem I see is the people who don’t give a fuck if they still have free will or not.

You want to win that fight? Then don’t treat the symptoms, treat the disease of people getting comfortable and numb with their government’s decisions.

You want to add something or engage in a healthy discussion I recommend commenting on that post.

If you comment with hate for my opinion on the problem then I strongly suggest to find yourself a better thing to do and to come back when you’re smart enough to discuss something and not hate.
