Chucky went looking for corporate political donations again and got told NO. So, now he's targeting those who told him no.
Plain and simple!

[@justinsmith4157]

Chuck Shumer is to politics as Amy Shumer is to comedy.… gross

[@MrDan1509]

Funny they don't go after alcohol!

[@anonymouscommenter7689]

Never. It's safe and never breaks up families. Doesn't affect driving at all.

[@hayleyfitzpatrick1568]

[@michamiller7704]

[@shaun2258]

I quit smoking a few years back by switching to vaping. then my state banned vaping, so I started smoking again. I again quit when I discovered nicotine pouches. now they want to ban that. so only smoking is ok to them? at least now I know what politicians are on tobacco companies payroll

[@charlietophat2295]

Claiming that new, non-tobacco alternatives is "targeting kids" has been their argument since the early days of vaping products. When will people realize that this is just big tobacco pitching a fit because they don't own the market?

The back of the can literally says, "Keep out of reach of children."

[@Max78912]

yea I cant see any reason they would be able to make this claim, the packaging is super basic same with the flavors there's nothing about it that's even appealing unless you already know about nicotine

[@iGNiTETheKiD]

@@StumpyFroggyand you have to be 21 to buy it 😂😂

[@user-du2sk7pc9e]

Im tired of this guy .....much bigger issues, Mr. Schumer. And where is the other one, Gillibrand? Useless.

[@TheTkpham]

So you're saying that young people are impressionable and we should be careful about what they're exposed to and what might tempt curiosity?
Does that apply to graphic, hyper-sexualized novels filled with smut being accessible in schools?

[@ricktiberio]

Father, I Have ZYNNED. Go and ZYN no more.

[@NuttyYT]

I might have to go to little Zynnbobwae just to throw in upper deckies now :(

[@WillyYum55]

Zyns helped me kick my vaping addiction. I haven’t felt this healthy in a long time

[@Floridaman-yt6yt]

ITS LITERALLY JUST NICOTINE

[@discountstrelok505]

“ the zyn just got 3mg higher “

[@StumpyFroggy]

The back of the can literally says, "Underage sale prohibited. Keep out of reach of children."
