From the article:
Federal regulations would help reverse, and hopefully end, these disturbing trends in the following areas:

1. Flavored e-cigarettes, cigars and other tobacco products
   
   
   Last summer, the New York Times reported that e-cigarettes come in 7,000 flavors with more than 250 being added every month. The varieties are especially kid-friendly, with names of cereals (Cap'n Crunch and Froot Loops), candies (Tootsie Rolls), cookies (Thin Mints) and even cartoon characters such as Hello Kitty and Curious George. These "fun flavors" are clearly aimed at luring the young into taking their first hit of nicotine from one of these products. For this reason alone, they must be banned.

Clearly aimed at kids?
Right... Like chocolate liqueur and vanilla stoli? Peppermint schnapps, Melon Midori?

Because adults don't Like flavor.
Only an idiot would believe such nonsense. Don't give stuff like this legs.
Shoot it down as ignorance and rise above it.
Remind people who buy into this crap how stupid they sound.

We just had a "think of the children" thread closed yesterday.

Give us some rest before starting a new one

I like vaping Raspberry Champagne, is that going to make kids want to smoke and drink?

You forgot gambling....

Ok, I recovered. So, which exact law says that The Children have more rights than the adults and I could be arbitrarily deprived of anything based on hypothetical benefits to said children?

Children want to pretend being adults. This is nothing new. Back in my day, kids didn't need Cocoa Puff tobacco, or Tootsie Roll tobacco, to start smoking. They would sneak cigarettes from their parents first. Then they started using their lunch money, to buy cigarettes. The vast majority of people who vape, are EX SMOKERS. Teens still smoke, and they still buy things that are not allowed to, for their age. It just makes them more creative into how to acquire what they want.

Children needs parents and grandparents not dying of cancer. Ban bans.
