Surgeon General Vivek Murthyand spews utter male bovine excrement and Tampa Bay Times staff writers Divya Kumar and Kathleen McGrory lap it up, from the Tampa Bay Time [1], all the news that’s fit to fake:
Vaping among high school students has soared an eye-popping 900 percent since 2011 — so much so that e-cigarettes are now the most commonly used form of tobacco among young people, according to a report released Thursday by the U.S. Surgeon General.
The trend, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy wrote in the preface, constitutes a “major public health concern.”
The 298-page report does not provide new insight into the health effects of vaping. It is significant, however, because the nation’s top doctor deems the practice “unsafe” and issues a call to protect young people from its harmful effects.
From Wikipedia [2]:
An electronic cigarette or e-cigarette[note 1] [3] is a handheld electronic device that vaporizes a flavored liquid. The user inhales the vapor.[2] [4] Using e-cigarettes is often called vaping.[4] [5] The fluid in the e-cigarette, called e-liquid [6],[5] [7] is usually made of nicotine [8], propylene glycol [9], glycerine [10], and flavorings.[2] [4][6] [11][7] [12]
Is Surgeon General Vivek Murthy vying to become the Inspector Clouseau of the Obama regime?* E-liquid, at least in this universe, is not a tobacco product. Not that I would expect Dim Won’s surgeon general to actually know that.
[*] Well Murthy might be trying, but it would hard to be even more stupid than J. Forbes Kerry.
