our phones with you here in the studio it's Ian and Johnson so of course you can bring up anything

that you want coming up here tonight found this one actually in our discord server one of

one of the rooms there is a news stories show prep room and I got to say some of the best stuff

comes from you guys out there. It was Mark Digital HD who says California is going to ban

what appears he believes they're going to be banning e-cigarettes.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Jewel, which is, as you may be aware, the big name in e-cigarettes, nicotine vaporization.

They are abandoning support for Proposition C.

Now, what is that? It's a ballot measure in San Francisco, apparently.

The vaping company has spent millions of dollars promoting through political ads, election mailers, and canvassers.

Proposition C will still appear on the ballot on November 5th. If approved, it would overturn a San Francisco ordinance

suspending the sale of e-cigarettes in the city and replace it with regulations supported

by Jewel, meaning Jewel wrote the regulations, basically.

Well, I mean, I wonder who writes those other regulations that are going after e-cigarettes.

Do you think that the tobacco companies might have something to do with those? Could be. Well, guess who owns 35% of Jewel? Well, Billet Morris, right? Is that who's behind Altria or is it the other way around? Altria group is one of the – I think it may be Philip Morris. I'm not sure exactly. I don't know if Altria owns Philip Morris or Philip Morris owns, you know, it's one of these corporate shell games.

Right. I think it may be Philip Morris. I'm not sure exactly. I don't know if Altrea owns Philip Morris or Philip Morris owns, you know, it's one of these corporate shell games.

But Jewell is headquartered in San Francisco.

And in a statement issued Monday evening, Jule said the move comes as part of a company-wide review by their new CEO whose appointment was announced last week after the other guy walked.

Right.
