The world is burning to the ground but at least these damn kids won't have Mango flavored e-cigs anymore. What a lovely use of our resources.
Big tobacco was prohibited from advertising is various media for creating characters like Joe Camel, only to circumvent the spirit of the law via the internet.
Vaping is killing kids, how is this not a valid use of resources?
Citation needed.
The recent (adult) deaths from Vaping are due to black market THC cartridges filled with vitamin e acetate. It is very likely the kids are obtaining (safe) retail product, which is a failure in retail process, not the manufacturer. While it is a bad thing that school aged children are illegal acquiring Juul -- how is this different (or even worse) than Alcohol? We should investigate alcohol vendors for making tasty beverages too. Can't have flavors that adults might like...
There is a combination of events occurring simultaneously that is making it hard for folks to objectively understand the problem, and if there is actually a problem at all.
Also, no nicotine product is (safe). There is no safe amount. In my opinion, we should just work towards a smoke-free future.
The analog to alcohol is a bit of a whataboutism. Just because alcohol is bad, doesn't justify smoking.
Protecting kids from predatory companies selling them addictive substances? Yep that’s exactly what we should be spending resources on.
