It has come to my attention that the National Debt is currently 22 trillion and rising. If the age for vaping rises in union with the debt. The government gets less money than what they would’ve gotten if they put a higher tax on vaping products for people between the ages 18-21. As a 12 year old man, I find it imperative, it not absolutely life sustaining to have my my sweet sweet 5% virginia tobacco crackle and pop in my oral orifice. Whispering sweet nothings of addiction into my soul. Nelson Mandela once said “May your choices reflect your hopes not your fears” Sometimes late at night after I blow a cloud, I go to my bedside and pray. And, as if I was in “That’s so Raven” I saw the future of our nation. The withdrawals would cause a (rip)ple effect, starting with the young minds who huff and puff day in and day out. Panic would ensue. The Mandelorian would be canceled, and the most watched program would be “Fuller House”. Can’t you see the gravity of the situation? How many lives are at steak �? How many clouds have yet to be blown on many a bathroom stroll? I ask you, on bended knee, to join me in the crusade of giving power to the puff and the people. I leave you all a final thought from the silver tongue of Danny Devito “The Acids making me feel like I gotta take a dump”
