Its gotten worse recently with more bans and enforcement driving these companies to now sell "Nixodine" vapes which use some proprietary synthetic nicotine replacement that has absolutely no data or independent testing done, which is very similar to all those knockoff THC products with awful side effects that were being sold before a majority of the nation legalized weed. Since all these regulations are about protecting revenue streams rather than actual improvements to public health, they're just making the problem different and worse rather than solving anything.
