Some people may argue that smoking and vaping is not harmful, and no one is responsible for the (as of today) 13 deaths and 830 people being sick. Why won’t the government do something about it, who knows? Who will be responsible? 
 
I’d say that the people who are responsible are the manufacturing companies and the community who are buying and using the products. The reason I say that the company must take half the fault is because they are the ones who put vitamin E acetate inside their products. I can also say that the people who buy the products have to take the other half of the fault, because they're the ones knowing the causes which come with using the products, but what they don’t know is that there is a disease called vitamin E that can make  you sick and that is called ARDS. What it does to you is it makes this white stuff get caught in your lungs which makes your heart have to pump faster and harder until it kills you. 
 
This is important because the president would rather take votes over lives. He’s just worried that if he does something about it, he’ll lose votes. So, he’s going to wait until 2022, because he will know if he’s in office or not. A couple of things that we can do is a boycott or emailing him and say that he needs to do something about it now. But only if he knew that people were dying and getting sick then maybe just maybe will he do something about the families traumatized for losing a loved one to vapes.  So, we must inform our political leaders that we will not wait – they must act and pass laws that will regulating vapes.
