People will just switch to something else like Vuse or some other fruity vapes that are disposable. Now that they are all more addictive than reg. smoking & cheaper than a pk. of smokes. Sometimes the kids think it looks cooler to have in their hands a “vape” device in general. It’s all sad.

There must be more important things the FDA can be doing than worrying about juul pods or whatever they are

Juuls are actually a hot topic in some circles, I`m surprised that more people haven`t weighed in. Our position is actually losing in the poll

It's about money and control. Juul would be fine if the tax was larger. Govt says tabacco bad, must tax. But tobacco farmers still receive more than $60 million in subsidies a year through the federally subsidized crop insurance program. The Govt needs to be watched closely. They are not your friend

The FDA needs to concentrate on all of the Federally illegal State Sponsored pot and edibles stores, then end Fentanyl coming across our borders, before they mess with something as harmless as Juul vapers. Although I don't care to be near them, they are not a sin nor a crime.

I don`t use them, but they are probably better for you than smoking cigarettes. Just make sure the stores check ID`s and don`t sell them to underage people

I agree Jack, but it is not about Juul vapers, it is about control. The Govt will do anything they can get away with to maintain control of the citizens. And it is an inconvenience to fight them, and they use our money to control us. It's called Socialism/Communism. Some people are eager to give up.

Almost as bad an idea as replacing income taxes with higher sales taxes!

You finally got one right. Did you have help?

A new tax is not the answer to the city's budget problems. City leaders need to live within your means, like everyone else. Vote NO on the new taxes.

We already pay enough in taxes. The City needs to check it's priorities and pull funding from programs that truly are not conductive to the day to day lives of the general tax paying citizen. Focus on the core competencies, not liberal dream programs.

Most people already drive 75 MPH, at least. Trust the people.

A lot of people drive faster than the posted speed limit - 75 to 80 instead of 70. Increasing the speed limit will just push the actual travel rates higher - 80 to 85 instead of 75. With all of the heavy trucks on the road (some that drive slow), higher speeds are just dangerous.

Drivers are already driving 5 to 10 miles over the current limits so if it's increased I'm pretty sure they'll exceed the new limits.
