"E-Cigarettes are a Gateway to tobacco" -Senator Markey

[Ipster]

I read an article posted Senate bill would restrict e-cigarette marketing to children and teens
at the ConsumerAffairs website (Feb 26 2014) under the heading "e-cigarettes-warnings-and-lawsuits" that was intending to update the public concerning the recent frustration expressed in the senate while waiting the FDA actions proposed. the article may also be read here, View attachment ConsumerAffairs.article_2_26-14.pdf .

Once again the banner being waived is that of "HELP US PROTECT OUR CHILDREN".

Nothing new there. When they run out of arguments they always cry "for the children".

 

[Frenchfry1942]

Sikko, I was thinking that. Frankly, Congress protecting my children is scary.

Big tobacco *wishes* this statement were true.

A comment was made on Fox News, "When they run out of arguments they pull out protect the children".

I hate seeing this stuff, whether its about e-cigs, alcohol, guns, and other assorted trivial things the government chooses to fiddle with while trying to deviate from bigger problems in our society. I just want to live my life my way and not have to worry about some nanny liberal or right-wing conservative trying to nose their way in and tell me whats better. But this just seems to be a pipe dream. One of the reasons I stay away from news outlets, always some stupid story about twitter trends instead of stories about whats going on in the "real" world. Hopefully in the next few years we can squash all this vape banning none sense, or maybe the government will find some other thing to occupy themselves with.

Jeff, you don't have enough money to be left alone.

If only if only. But having tons of money presents its own set if problems most of which are beyond my ability and desire to deal with. Just enough to pay the bills and have a healthy vape budget and I am happy.

Tobacco is a gateway to tobacco.
Wonder what the Camel and Newport magazine adds are a gateway to.

The opposite is true, according to the statistics. Vaping among teens is up, and tobacco use is down.

I'd be willing to try. Honestly I would.

At least the falling cigarette sales kill that agruement...

Watch how quick all of this goes away once they get to tax us to death. Just saying, it's about money and not about the kids.
