FDA opens criminal investigation into vaping -- (link) - oblique Sep 19, 10:59 10
- since it appears most of the people who've gotten sick were using 'blackmarket' products I doubt this investigation will go anywhere -- nm - decline Sep 19, 11:12 5
  - that's not actually true, is it? It's been a wide variety of product. -- nm - Andie Sep 19, 11:23 2
    - it's the closest correlation they've found. For instance not all used commercial products like Juul and many used liquids with THC produced god knows - decline Sep 19, 11:30
    - There's been very little concrete information about product commonalities other than that most were THC related -- (link) - oblique Sep 19, 11:28
  - Why someone would buy from one of those places, where they make their own juice and shit - that makes no sense to me. nm - Chamberlain Sep 19, 11:15 1
    - I'd assume primarily because this was about THC and there was no easily accessible legit way to get it (either illegal in the state or underage) -- nm - oblique Sep 19, 11:20
- I'd be happy if they just investigated the possible health affects of vaping. nm - Chamberlain Sep 19, 11:08 1
  - It will legitimately take them years to actually know. -- nm - Dark Callisto Sep 19, 11:59
- It feels like a Tylenol case, like maybe someone sabotaged a product. -- nm - Mop Sep 19, 11:02 1

  - Also "Downtown/Industrial/Commercial" vs. "bedroom community suburbs" -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 19, 11:14 5
    - Well the bedroom community suburbs analogy does not quite fit after 2018 anymore, but I may be missing your point in any case? -- nm - JackDawson Sep 19, 11:43 4
      - That typically the places where republicans work are more urban and where they sleep has fewer people working. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 19, 11:48 3
        
        Ok, got it. As stated above, I'm not so sure that that argument holds that much water after 2018 though -- nm - JackDawson Sep 19, 12:09 2
        
        If that pattern holds after the post-Trump reset. Honestly, I'm not sure how much is permanent and how much bounces back. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 19, 13:27 1
