President Donald Trump ’s government is currently implode in striking fashion , from the meteoric rise andequally meteorological collapseof week - prospicient communications director Anthony Scaramucci to in high spirits - profilelegislative disasters .
Grover Norquist , the arch - conservative president of Americans for Tax Reform , think Republicans will be able to part overlay all of this up with a big , thickset swarm of vape smoke . In an interview with Vice News on Monday , thelongtime vaping aficionadoargued resisting FDA ordinance of the vaping manufacture could be the GOP ’s holy grail in succeeding elections .
“ Vapers handle so much about it and the governance ’s screw with them , Norquist say . “ I work with groups and mortal that are being pick on by the government or the government is messing with them , whether they ’re raising their revenue enhancement or pushing around in their business , their professional life . ”
According to Norquist , he has “ met with lifelong Democrats who say , ‘ until this vaping is freed up from governance scourge , I ’m voting with the Republicans because the D ’s just do n’t get it on this issue . ”
Vaping is “ freedom , ” Norquist added , taking a leisurely puff from a vape . “ Heavily taxed exemption . ”
Norquist pointed to Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson , one of the many Republican politicians whopulled off disordered victoriesin 2016 , and suggested his profits had something to do with Johnson’sopposition to vaping regulations . ( Republicans win all over the place and Johnson organize a particularlywell - run footing operation , but certain , whatever . ) In a 2016 interview with theNew Yorker , Norquist fence vaping could be one of the bragging government outreach issues which could economize modest - political science conservativism and help form a “ Leave Us Alone Coalition . ”
He ’s also squeeze a large number of agitated reflexion about the link between vaping and everything from Genghis Khan , Microsoft Word , and Hillary Clinton and Nazism :
Dear Microsoft Word Dictionary . VAPING is a substantial word . There are six million VAPERS in the US . Can we please update and join 21st century .

Gregory Conley , the president of vaping advocacy group American Vaping Association , does not opine Norquist is delusional .
“ I absolutely conceive that there are many vapers that voted for President Obama in 2012 but did not vote Democrat in the 2016 election partially or chiefly because of the vaping issue , ” he told Gizmodo . “ I ca n’t say they all voted for Donald Trump … but this is absolutely an issue that has moved citizenry to the right or at least forth from the doctrinal liberal position . ”
“ These are n’t hoi polloi voting for vaping because it ’s a playfulness avocation that they wish , ” Conley added . “ They ’re vote for vaping because it help them throw in smoking . ”
Not on Norquist ’s side are the res publica ’s teens , who government data hint haveabandoned vaping in drovesin 2016 . Nor are the 1,014 Americans who answered aStat / Harvard pollin 2015 and broadly agreed due east - cigarettes should carry warning labels ( 94 % ) , are harmful to health ( 65 % ) or should be taxed like cigarettes ( 64 % ) .
Besides , Trump already appear to be giving Norquist on the nose what he wants : His FDA is impress forwards with a program toseverely limitthe amount of nicotine in fag butleaving vapers alone for now . in the first place this yr , Norquist suggested getting rid of Barack Obama ’s Surgeon General Vivek Murthy was an lesson of Trump drain the swampland , because Murthy wasinsufficiently pro - vaping .
Seeing as both Republicans and vaporizing have ahuge paradigm problemthat is deeply ingrained , an alliance with the vaping community seems right up the GOP ’s alley . honest luckblowing clammy cloudsto little - governing victory .
