In America, there has been so much anti-vaping sentiment, that there is now
an entire establishment involved in expressing these attitudes against vapor
products. Who accounts for making up this establishment? Which individuals or
groups occupy these anti-vaping attitudes? There are a number of areas within
American society creating an Anti-Vape Establishment.
1. Tobacco Control Groups: (Campaign for Tobacco
FREE Kids & Tobacco 21) 5.
2. U.S. Democratic Party Members (a portion of politicians
who oppose vaping are always Democrat, such as
Sen. Chuck Schumer, Sen. Al Franken, Sen. Elizabeth
Warren & Sen. Richard Blumenthal) 6.

for anti-vaping groups like Campaign for Tobacco
FREE Kids which seems like an oxymoron).
Big Pharma (not necessarily a group, but an entire
