Its a a carefully reworded sort of *remake* of this topic, in which NOT selling to minors is strongly supported in the poll. Lessifer does not believe in age requirements and therefore believes that means the government is being allowed to parent your children.
Just trying to give a different perspective, and hoping people will inform themselves prior to voting, though I know most won't.
Even "CASAA strongly supports banning e-cigarette sales to minors."
I understand why they take this position, I don't agree with it, but I understand it as a political action. Though I do think it harms our cause overall.
Here is the poll that's been up.....clearly, most vapers here do not believe children should be buying nicotine:

Most vapers who answered the poll, though I know of at least one that changed their mind after reading through the whole thread.
As I've already said though, there are many things that I don't believe children should do, and I was accused of "adultism" in that topic.
(not by Lessifer, who is a polite individual to chat with, even if you don't' agree with him/her.
)
Thanks, I do try to be polite
thats okay. I believe in things like age of consent, age to purchase alcohol, voting age, driving age, marriage age, age to decide you refuse to attend school, purchase firearms, etc. you know, stuff like that. a.....and no, I don't think that means I've asked the government to *raise them*.
I actually don't have an issue with most of these, for the following reasons:
1. Age of consent - this one's a tough one, with many nuances, I'll leave it alone here.
2. Alcohol - is positively KNOWN to be addictive, cause disease, cause injury, impair judgement, kills thousands if not more every year.
3. Voting Age - If you're not old enough to contribute by paying taxes, no voting. Voting is a bit of a sham though anyways, most don't learn anything about any of the candidates, or any of the issues being voted on, not unlike internet polls.
4. Driving age - Younger children are physically incapable. Cars are incredibly dangerous items, kill thousands if not more every year.
5. Marriage age - you should really be old enough to support your family, whatever it consists of, before you can get married, and old enough to not be under the complete influence of your parents.
6. School attendance - Education is important, more important than we give it credit for, I'd be happy with mandatory college/vocational training.
7. Purchase Firearms - Deadly if not used properly, or if used properly, depending.
Now let's take a look at nicotine... Nope, none of that. Not addictive(without tobacco), no evidence of harm, evidence of potential benefits.
Some people think that if you're against an age limit, that you WANT to sell nicotine to kids; in reality, I just don't want to start a banning/taxing process without justification. In the 31 pages of the other thread, not a single person could present any evidence that nicotine is more harmful than any number of other products that most people happily let their children consume daily.
