Gregg Smith of Evolution VC Partners tells Stuart Varney on Fox Business regarding state bans on vaping: "A lot of the decisions that are being made by some of these states are actually going to do the opposite. They're going to push smokers back into the black market, or they're going to push them onto combustible cigarettes, both of which are not going to be good. The spate of recent mysterious lung illnesses the country has seen may be connected to black-market THC cartridges. The FDA must weigh two things when analyzing the impact of vaping on the market as a whole. One [is] creating a bonafide, off-ramp for combustible cigarette smokers -- giving them an off-ramp to get off of cigarettes to a product that, I believe, science and time will show is much safer for the users and has a much higher quit rate than any other pharmaceutical or non-pharmaceutical solution on the market today, and two, they have to weigh it against not creating an on-ramp for kids that are not users of nicotine to come onto the product."
