One small vape for man, one big vape for mankind.

Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.), a longtime champion of the e-cigarette, took a vape from his nicotine vaporizer during a congressional hearing on a bill that would ban vaping on airplanes.

“So, this is called a vaporizer. There’s no combustion. There’s no carcinogens.” Hunter said, demonstrating it with an exhalation of a cloud of vape gas.

Hunter credits vaporizers with helping him quit smoking, a habit he started when he was in the Marines, the Hill reports, and he has a history of advocating against anti-vaping legislation.

Smoking has gone down as the use of vaporizers has gone up.
