Billionaire Funding Behind New "In Development" Medical Grade Vape Pen
09/25/2018
If you haven't already heard, the new Hale vape pen is currently seeking approval by the FDA.
You haven't heard of it?
It's a "revolutionary" smoking cessation device by Hava Health - a company heavily funded by investing groups like Village Global and Backstage Capital. It should be noted that infamous anti-vape crusader Mike Bloomberg and a gaggle of other billionaires are involved in these two companies.
The company is seeking approval for the device as a "smoking cessation device" as opposed to a vaporizer or e-cigarette, looking to differentiate themselves from the rest of the industry.
This seems all too convenient timing of a "medical" stop-smoking device, yes?

The device supposedly is to be paired with a phone app which tracks usage and slowly, on its own, weans you off nicotine in what appears to be 80 days based off other images shown of the device.
There's no information on whether or not the device has different flavors or if it's even flavored at all as the device is still under development according to their website at www.tryhale.com where more images of the device and a little information can be found. If these bans keep ramping up, and enough money gets thrown at the people making the decisions about the future of vaping, devices like Hale with serious financial backing may end up being the only thing left on the market. |

While we should celebrate all smoking cessation devices or aides, this definitely leaves a sour taste in our mouths considering who is backing it and the ridiculously good timing of their announcement.
Obviously the fight isn't over, but damn, between this and the iQUOS getting approved - it's painfully clear that they're putting profit over people.
