Take, for instance, an anti-vaping bill up for debate this month from Congressman Frank Pallone (D-NJ). Pallone says he wants to make smoking less widespread. But his bill would just make it harder for current smokers to quit by enshrining FDA restrictions, like flavor bans on vaping products and the legal smoking age of 21, while also extending the flavor ban to conventional tobacco products and prohibiting online vape sales. In the process, it\u2019ll decimate small businesses in the vaping space\u2014to the benefit of the cigarette industry. That\u2019s a shame, because since vapes hit the market, smoking rates in the United States have taken a freefall. By comparison, rates in comparable nations like Australia, which bans nicotine vaping, have remained stagnant.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>ARTICLE LINK:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/townhall.com\/columnists\/youngvoicescontributors\/2020\/02\/25\/rep-pallones-antivaping-bill-is-just-a-win-for-cigarettes-n2561861\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rep.
