Can any adult who does not like icecream, please stand up... beware Canada’s new smoking barons... maby making the laws for selling blackmarket products stricter, instead of going after the good guys doing the right thing is worth investigating 🤔 is anybody even addressing this

don't make the stupid move and follow what the FakeNews and the fake government and the fake health agencies in the United States are doing! Do yourself a solid and follow the steps of the United kingdom and the Royal college of physicians!

This is a bald-faced lie. This is why so many innovations that help the public fail. Vaping was born without any help from the government, BP, BT or investors. It is a grassroots movement that has helped millions quit using cigs. The press is complicit in stifling innovation.

SUCH A LIE! Our vape shops have been IDing for smoking age BEFORE laws were even made! Retract this lie! This is your one and only warning from me. You don't want to know where the next one is coming from.
