Does The FDA Hate Children Enough To Ban Vitamin Vapes? We'll Find Out.
DAILY MAIL – First, there were supplements to swallow your daily dietary needs in capsules.
Then, there was Soylent, the whole ‘meal’ in a single bottle.
Now, e-cigarette makers want you to simply inhale your vitamins.
As the vape industry tries to salvage itself from growing research on its dangers an FDA warning against the devices dangers for teens and even a raid on top e-cig company, Juul, a few brands are trying to jump on the wellness bandwagon.
These companies sell $10-$30 devices that, they claim, have e-liquids loaded with vitamins like B-12 for you to vape instead of nicotine and flavoring.
We already know the FDA is trying to crack down on the Constitutionally-guaranteed freedom of smoking vapes. They are issuing ultimatums, raiding facilities like they’re the FBI or SEC in Boiler Room. They’ve got undercover agents all over the country throwing black hoods over the heads of anyone blowing smoke rings and throwing them in a speeding unmarked van to check their identification cards. It’s a crackdown on American liberty that we haven’t seen in centuries. The Juul smoker is probably the most highly persecuted class of people on the planet right now.

Well the FDA just got put into what masters of chess call, “Checkmate”:
Know what’s not cool? Taking vitamins. Know what’s cool? SICK VAPE CLOUD VITAMINS.
Parents no longer have to worry about forcing multivitamins down their kids’ throats or desperately searching for that one Flintstone flavor they like. Now they can stroll into middle school blowin’ Os of B12.
Of course, with every technological advancement designed for the betterment of society, the Michael Wilbons of the world who hate change are coming out in full force, making claims like it “doesn’t work” or “is actually bad for you.”
But experts caution that breathing really isn’t the best way to get nutrients – and subtracting nicotine from the e-cig equation doesn’t mean the devices are safe.
And, ironically, some of the very same vitamins these brands want you to vape may raise the risk of lung cancers.
As the bearing liquid vaporizes at just 140 degrees, it may allow for the preservation of a small amount of the nutrients, which may be absorbed via the mucous membrane of the oral cavity,’ the company’s site explains.
Even VitaCig’s own description doesn’t sound too confident that users will be sucking in much nutrition from their devices.
Also, Big Science is trying to get involved with facts and data and shit, as always. They’re like the annoying friend that’s always telling you to “stop drinking” because you’re “vomiting on yourself and talking to a bare wall.”
Most nutrients are fat or water soluble, ‘so vitamins need to come with [fat and water] and go through the same gastrointestinal tract to be absorbed,’ says Dr Charles Mueller, a professor of nutrition at New York University.
‘You may get some passive absorption in the lining of the lungs, but you don’t get any absorption of fat or water soluble vitamins. ‘It just doesn’t happen. The physiology doesn’t work.’
You can inhale through your mouth, but very little air makes it into the rest of the digestive tract where nutrients get absorbed.
In fact, swallowing much more air can cause gastrointestinal problems like belching. Likewise, inhaling food, saliva or liquids into your lungs can cause severe problems.
‘The lining of the gastrointestinal tract and the lungs are very sophisticated skin surfaces’ Dr Mueller says.
I can’t hide the studies from you, just remember how many things science has been wrong about in the past. “Global warming” yet it’s still cold at my desk, figure that one out.
So what’s the verdict? Does the FDA have the balls to ban vitamins to kids? Does the FDA hate strong and healthy children? Lot of people are thinking it. They’re wondering if they’re going to take on Popeye next and issue an 8 week period for Big Spinach to prove the iron properties of its product.
