- Good. (Sorry, boys.) - Pengy Sep 11, 10:12 26
  - They aren't banning vaping or cigarettes though. Doesn't really seem to address the issue. -- nm - ty97 Sep 11, 10:18 6
    - and moreover they seem to using some mysterious vaping deaths as a reason here...maybe figure out what's causing those vaping deaths? - ty97 Sep 11, 10:21 5
      - i guess they figure adults can make their own choices, but, kids have less ability to make reasoned informed choices. being as the long term effects - Andie Sep 11, 10:26 4
        
        We do know the long term effects of smoking cigarettes though and they are still legal. That's why the selective enforcement confuses me. -- (edited) - ty97 Sep 11, 10:31 3
        
        there are all sorts of things that we know are bad that still exist (cigarettes being obvious). they are making it less appealing to kids. that's - Andie Sep 11, 10:32 2
        
        And yet cotton candy vodka. *shrug* -- nm - ty97 Sep 11, 10:34 1
        
        sure, but that's not marketed directly to kids. things like Juuls ARE. Is it a perfect solution, no, but nothing is. -- (link) - Andie Sep 11, 10:36
  - The dinosaur needs to go away, not be reinvented. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 10:15 1
    - Exactly. -- nm - Pengy Sep 11, 10:28
  - It's not the same a cigarettes and helps people get off the cigarettes which is huge in saving lives. This is a bad idea -- nm - Krusty Sep 11, 10:14 16
    - In a small percentage of users, sure. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 10:16 5

        "among those assigned to vaping, 18% had stopped smoking, while about 10% of those using nicotine replacement therapy had quit." -- (link) - mud Sep 11, 11:10 3
        
        Those are pretty good numbers for something that's still rather new and improving -- nm - Krusty Sep 11, 11:41 2
        
        Now, lets compare it to the number of new smokers it created. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 11:47 1
        
        Smh -- nm - Krusty Sep 11, 12:28
    - not if it's getting kids to start something they wouldn't have otherwise. -- nm - Andie Sep 11, 10:16 9
      - It's not the same thing though. The carcinogens in cigarettes aren't in vapes. Of course I don't want kids using them but this isn't the - Krusty Sep 11, 10:20 1
        
        the number of teens that smoke cigarettes is basically on a downward trend and has been for decades. -- (link) - Andie Sep 11, 10:27
      - I wonder what the stats are on that. I know they are seeing an increase in teen vaping but is there a correlating decrease in teen smoking? - ty97 Sep 11, 10:19 6
        
        i found this - Andie Sep 11, 10:23 5
        
        Thanks, though it still leaves me with questions -- (edited) - ty97 Sep 11, 10:28
        
        How many of them would be smoking cigarettes instead? If it keeps them from smoking cigarettes that's a good thing. Obviously I don't want them - Krusty Sep 11, 10:26 3
        
        see my link above, teen smoking was way down even before this product hit. it's a different thing for them. it isn't a this or that. smoking is - Andie Sep 11, 10:28 2
        
        If we ban everything kids like that they shouldn't use we should ban a lot more than flavored ecigs. They drink to excess but - Krusty Sep 11, 10:33 1
        
        The only reason they are banning it is because they don't control it and therefore no monies. -- nm - Shaun Sep 11, 10:35
- That's such bullshit. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 11, 10:08 4
  - Disagreed. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 10:11 3
    - You can disagree, but it's also still bullshit. They're banning a flavor. They're not banning vaping. It's no different than flavored vodkas. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 11, 10:30 2
      - Disagreed. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 11:08
      - One could argue that it's like banning absinthe -- nm - Beryllium Sep 11, 10:43
- the Fascist pig needs a win. this gives him one. - Jovian Sep 11, 10:05
- Because adults aren't allowed to like sweet flavors? I don't see anyone banning all those flavored liquors or hard iced teas and such. - Krusty Sep 11, 09:58 10
  - You’re not inhaling those other things into your lungs and they don’t cause lipoid pneumonia. -- (edited) - Super Daddy Princess Sep 11, 10:14 5
    - I'm just confused by the selective application by the FDA. Why are cigarettes legal then? Why is fried chicken legal? -- nm - ty97 Sep 11, 10:23 1
      - I think the tobacco settlement contained language prohibiting more serious restrictions on tobacco products. Not sure outright prohibition - TWuG Sep 11, 10:33
    - That pneumonia thing is not something that's happening from vaping ecigs. -- nm - Krusty Sep 11, 10:21 2
      - “In all confirmed cases, patients vaped either nicotine or the marijuana constituent THC in the last 90 days.” -- (link) - Super Daddy Princess Sep 11, 10:26 1
        
        Millions vape ecigs with no issues and the connecting factor in these is those THC cartridges which is oil. There's no oil at all in ecigs. - Krusty Sep 11, 10:29
  - Can teens buy flavoured ecigs without id? I think that's the difference. -- nm - Andie Sep 11, 09:59 3
    - No -- nm - ty97 Sep 11, 10:02 2
      - (I mean no more than they can buy cigarettes or alcohol without ID. You have to be 18 to buy e-cigarettes) - ty97 Sep 11, 10:02 1

  - Was there ever a reason for this? Seems odd one of the 3 biggest female draws in the last 30 years just quit. - Will Hunting Sep 11, 10:26 2
