TWO NEW VAPING ILLNESS CASES REPORTED!!!

The Mississippi State Department of Health issued the following statement. 


Today the Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) reports two additional identified cases of a vaping-related lung illness in Mississippi, bringing the state total to seven with one death. All identified cases have been in individuals between 18 and 34 years of age.

 
Nationwide, as of October 15, there have been 1,479 cases of lung illness reported from 49 states,
the District of Columbia, and one U.S. territory. Thirty-three deaths have been reported from 24 states.
 
While many of the cases in the U.S. report vaping cannabis products, such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), in addition to nicotine products, no specific product such as the device, liquid, refill pods or cartridge has been clearly identified as the cause of illness.
 
Symptoms of severe vaping-related lung illness include cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, fever and fatigue. Symptoms develop anywhere from over a few days of use to weeks of using
e-cigarettes.
 
Until an exact cause of the illness has been determined, the CDC recommends the following actions:
  • Refrain from using all e-cigarette or vaping products to ensure that you are not at risk.
  • If you are an adult who used e-cigarettes containing nicotine to quit cigarette smoking, do not return to smoking cigarettes.
  • If you have recently used an e-cigarette or vaping product and you have symptoms like those reported above, see your healthcare provider.
 
Additionally, Mississippians are urged to not buy products off the street containing THC or other cannabinoids. Do not modify or add substances to e-cigarette products that are not intended by the manufacturer.

How many smoking tobacco illnesses were there?

Wellll, here comes your next Opioids band wagon for the lawyers to jump on.

Hell Kingfish, my neighbor likes to drink beer and eat peanuts every evening.

You reckon some Jackson bambalance chaser will take the case, never mind it is a personal choice to do so?

I think I will just keep sniffing glue and smoking Pall Mall.

I picked a bad week to give up LSD.

I think it strange that the can conclusively tie these illnesses to vaping so quickly excluding all else.

How many new tobacco related illnesses were there today?

This is 100% about Big Tobacco going after vaping because it hurts their bottom line, with the help of lobbyists and elected officials they’ve bought and paid for.

Hysteria- 26 deaths have been attributed to vaping. 480,000 die each year to tobacco related deaths according to the CDC.
States received $27.5 billion from tobacco related taxes. 2.4 % of that money was used on tobacco education. Over 10 million people attribute vaping to their discontinuing use of tobacco. Could states be worried about losing tax dollars?

Vitamin E oil is safe in almost all forms except in the e-liquid form E acetate. E acetate is used in place of real THC in black market cartridges. Black market cartridges have also been found to have Chinese produced fentanyl. Several e cig manufacturers moved production to China.

Is Vaping in the dictionary yet?

I wonder how this compares to other "illnesses" caused by illicit substances. I know this may be a bit too scientifically advanced for some of you, but inhaling or ingesting chemicals with any regularity is probably not a great thing to do and will not end well.

I have absolutely no sympathy for these people. The media is filled with stories of how dangerous this is, and yet, they take the chance anyway.

Because sucking steam out of a bottle is so manly.

An acquaintance once told me that if you want quality cannabis vape you have to take a trip to states where it is legal. They have dispensaries just like cannabis.
You can fit several months supply in a space much smaller than you could fit actual cannibas.

But I understand that is difficult to do if you are poor.

Hold on. I need a beer. Be right back.

The most dangerous result of peanuts and beer is flatulence. Flatulence will make you unpopular but will not wind you up in the hospital. Unless you get your ass whipped in the elevator.

9:31 I realize you were attempting to make a joke. Your sophomoric humor provides a lens into the hysteria surrounding 26 vaping deaths.
The CDC reported 84 deaths due to peanut allergies in the United States last year. Alcohol abuse accounted for 88,000 deaths and another
10,000 due to alcohol related vehicle deaths. Alcohol related health care cost is estimated at $250 billion a year. 10% of American children
Live in a household where at least one parent is an alcohol abuser. Teenage abuse and binge drinking figures are staggering.

Great joke!

A few years go there were some USM students that were sucking freon out of A/C units on campus. I guess that was that start of this vaping crisis...

They are putting more than Fentanyl in those cartridges. The last time I bought one I tripped balls for an entire weekend. The closest experience I can compare it to is DMT. Which might be what they put in it. Might have been Ketamine.

I recognize you from the elevator, 11:07!

Well what do you know, Democrats voted to pass a “ vaping “ tax today that will cost Americans $9.9 billion. This translates to $1.14 per Juul. The sensationalism and “crisis” unsurprisingly turned into a massive tax on Americans. That will solve nothing, nada, jackshit. In fact,
The resulting studies, useless education programs and other tax funded grants will undoubtedly make friends of these politicians rich. Just like Obama’s $188 billion so called green initiatives made cronies rich while every single investment went bankrupt. You can be sure the vaping tax will only get bigger - much bigger. Who pays the most proportionally - the poor of course. The same people who get hardest hit by smoking taxes, lower classes and minorities will get hit again. These are the same people who tend to vote democratic almost exclusively. They vote in the people who use government programs to keep them trapped on the government plantation. They vote lock step for democrat gun control while they get gunned down in every democrat stronghold year after year. Wake up idiots. Democrat programs are here to make democrat cronies rich and to keep you dependent on the government.

As someone who gave up all tobacco and alcohol 15 years ago, I say tax them! They want to take the slow road to suicide why not tax their stupidity along the way!

Same as the lottery. Yes the poorest and lowest IQ will spend small fortunes for the 1 in 350 million odds of winning. I say let them!

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
