Apple to Remove Vaping Apps From Store

Ina Fried and Mike Allen, writing for Axios:

Amid growing health concerns over e-cigarettes, Apple will remove all 181 vaping-related apps from its mobile App Store.

Apple is acting from a good place here, yet still missing the mark. Vaping saves lives, and reducing access to vape technology makes it more difficult for people to choose an alternative to smoking cigarettes. And as far as cannabis vapes go, PAX is already lobbying against this decision:

PAX says that while it respects Apple's leadership, it is concerned with Apple's ban because it prevents consumers in legal stages from "having access to important information and the ability to better control their cannabis experience."
