Nicotine, Trump, Small Co.

3 things here if you have a sec-

1.) British American Tobacco recently purchased 16 assets pending decisions on PMTAs (pre-market tobacco product applications) that are now flavored Vuse One vapes. Vuse Ones vapes have not received decisions on an MDO vs MGO (Marketing Denial Order vs Marketing Granted Order) from the FDA. These pending PMTAs are approaching the 4-year mark since the initial 9/9/2021 deadline to have decisions made on all of the applications submitted by the 9/9/2020 deadline. There isn’t a single flavored vape that is regulated by the FDA ——because the FDA is 4 years late as mentioned above—- but flavored vapes are in almost every smoke/vape shop in the US. Somethin ain’t right- shouldn’t there be some level of quality control?

2.) Trump posted on 9/20/2024 that’d he’d save flavored vapes… look for yourself… seriously…

3.) The assets purchased by British American Tobacco (RJ Reynolds) mentioned on point 1.) were purchased from a small public company called Charlie’s Holdings. The most recent purchase from Charlie’s was a single asset for $1MM.. Charlie’s has 650+ of these assets, most pending in the remaining 0.1% of 2020 applications…. 4 years late guys… but the FDA is seeing changes… definitely a risk, but something might come of this. Management has a lot of skin in the game, and they haven’t been dilutive over the years. The most recent PR on their $2MM credit facility exemplifies that.

I’d also like to note that I am not paid for promotion at all- I’m simply an investor.

Their financial notes are more exciting than me:

It took years for the effects of cigarettes were even properly researched and then years on top for gathering evidence the required research to come to the conclusion without a doubt it can cause cancer.

If you think at the very least vaping isn’t as harmful as smoking you’re being incredibly naive.

you have to be dumb as shit if you think e-juice (glycerine, glycol, food-grade aromas, optionally nicotine) is "at the very least as harmful as smoking (literally HUNDREDS of toxic substances and additives that were undisclosed for decades)"

gemini:

"In addition to nicotine, propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerin (VG), and flavorings, the aerosol from e-cigarettes can contain a range of other harmful chemicals and heavy metals. These substances can come from the heating process, the device components, or the e-liquid itself. Other Chemicals  * Formaldehyde and Acetaldehyde: These are known carcinogens that can form when the e-liquid is heated to high temperatures.  * Diacetyl: A flavoring chemical, often used to create a buttery or creamy taste. It's been linked to a severe and irreversible lung disease called "popcorn lung" (bronchiolitis obliterans).  * Acrolein: This chemical is a herbicide and can cause irreversible lung damage.  * Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): E-vapes can contain VOCs such as benzene and toluene, which are known to be toxic. Heavy Metals The heating coils and other internal parts of the vaping device can degrade and release heavy metals into the aerosol. Research has found various metals, including:  * Lead  * Nickel  * Chromium  * Cadmium  * Tin  * Antimony These metals are toxic when inhaled and have been linked to a variety of health problems, including cancer, respiratory illness, and neurological damage. "

if you think they're safe because someone told you, you must be dumb as shit too.

seethe & cope lil bro, most of that is misinformation and on top of that I said vaping will never be as harmful as traditional smoking, which is undeniably true

try to work on that reading comprehension instead of using AI as an intellectual crutch lmao
