Thompson talked about how vaping can be wrongfully asso- ciated with illegal vape devices sold on the black market. Thompson said those devices are dangerous because they can contain a form of vitamin E, which can be harmful if inhaled. Thompson advocated for the benefits of vape products and for those who use it as an alternative to cigarettes, while also talking about the dangers of traditional tobacco products. She also advo- cated for the restriction of access to minors. After the hearing, Thompson further explained her position on the proposed ordinances. “I was told that they were having a hearing to change the local law to 21 age limit from 18, which I don’t completely disagree with,” Thompson said. “I have personal views where I don’t agree with it, but as far as the industry goes, we all stand united for the 21 in compro- mising on the age restriction, because you have students who are 18 and still in high school who are becoming what is known as ‘vape dealers,’ who will go and buy a bunch of vapes (and distribute them)” Thomp- NANCY MANROE / THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN son said.
