Hi kids: look what we have for you today: the latest vaping craze in Barbie-like colors that are soooooo cool. Here, try one. Hmmmmm. Sounds like a marketing campaign. Some of us can recall when tobacco companies hired young women to give away cigarettes on street corners in major cities; the better to "hook" you.
Now, it's a bit easier. Distribute the vape pens where the kids are: school. Doesn't get any better than a location spitting distance to the cafeteria. So, America has to face the fact that China is not our friend. Again. The newer vapes are manufactured in China, no doubt close to the Pacific coastline, which we share. The pens are flown in, floated in, driven in from China. Oh, they are banned in China. Hmmmmm. Telling, isn't it. Bad for Chinese; good for ----American kids. Victory for the PLA; victory for Xi JP. Victory for State-run Communism. (Wait, don't mention real estate). Very bad.
The culprits are in the form of two recognized products called Elf Bar and Esco Bar. They are found in most stores despite repeated warnings by the F.D.A. Brian King, director of tobacco products enforcement efforts, has little power to stifle the flow of these Chinese-made vapes. Schools around the country need to send a message to Washington that China must pay a price for manufacturing products shipped without controls to the world. Enough of this economic/cultural warfare. Does one think the Philippine Island nation is unaware of what China is doing around the South China Sea?
Really; Americans are not beholden to Chinese markets or Chinese government policies. Enough Lina Kahn. Enough Antony Blinken. Enough Janet Yellen.
