GRUNDY CENTER, Iowa — For a moment — before his campaign almost immediately walked it back — Bernie Sanders appeared to call Saturday for the vaping industry to be “shut down.”
Asked by a university student about how the “country should tackle” the prevalence of youth vaping, Sanders first thought the question was about the dropout rate, but quickly corrected course. He mentioned flavoring commonly added to e-cigarettes and said to the student who asked him the question, “Do you know kids who are vaping? Are they getting stuck on it? What’s the story there?”
Teen tobacco use had fallen steadily for two decades before e-cigarette use first turned the trend around in 2018. Flavor and sales crackdowns that started last year could not slow the trend: five million teens reported recent vaping in 2019.
It’s the Democrat & Socialist first and last impulse to stamp out personal freedoms and every deviation from government edict. Bernie still wants to outlaw vaping. He’s just been convinced to tell us about it AFTER the election.
Really a non story!
follow his money potus did same thing....
Dude is as dangerously dishonest as Trump
I’m here for it frankly
He decided VapingForAll because fuck em if they want to die
Bernie government would run every aspect of your life.
Biden and Bernie! God love 'em! It is just so sad, but isn't it entertaining! News medias are always putting down old white men, blaming old white men for our problems and look who the democrats have as candidates! Just can't make this crap up!
REALLY trying hard to smear Bernie, with a headline that makes him look silly. Read the article.
Here is what he said: 'The answer is, I think we shut down the industry if they’re causing addiction and if the evidence is that people are getting sick as a result or inhaling a lot of bad stuff.” Why are you making that headline politico?
An incorrigible MAGA; not a Socialist; but... It's not like the flammable nicotine-delivery-systems kill so few people already that we need an 'industry' that technologically enhances combustion to concentrate the poisons to insidiously kill even more.
No one can deny that cigarettes (nicotine) of any flavor is a highly addictive and dangerous drug. . BernieSanders SenSanders
So he did say it and his campaign did walk it back. You folks have strange way of saying things.
Always scraping the bottom of the barrel over at 😂😂😂
Crazy old men knocking on death’s door say the darnedest things.
Scandal!!.... (Sarcasm)

Really🥺 Big corporate interests are terrible and must be stopped if they are hurting Americans... unless, of course, my voters love the product..... Sorry tobacco vaping industry is harming Americans and will drive up costs of M4A or other medical programs.
Come on Bern, endorse Cenk again. Come on.
