FDA CDC falsely claims e-cig ads target, addict kids to lobby for FDA sales ban to adults

This demonstrates that Obama appointees at DHHS will say and do anything in their zeal to ban the sale of lifesaving vapor products to all adult smokers and vapers in the US.

Three weeks after the MTF found far more 8th, 10th and 12th graders in US smoke cigarettes than use nicotine e-cigs (7.0% vs < 2.6%), CDC report, press release and infographs lie about impact of e-cig ads on teens to lobby for FDA deeming ban and for State anti vaping programs/policies.

Of course, the CDC doesn't acknowledge that the vast majority of e-cig advertising expenditures are for nicotine vapor products, which are used by <20% of teen vapers
(but by most adult vapers).

The CDC just sent this infograph to all CDC e-mail subscribers, and probably
tweeted and Facebooked it as well.

It's not the flavors or the advertising. Kids know this is adult stuff. It's peer pressure
that entices them to smoke or drink. I smoked and I drink. I now vape. I do not
know nor have ever heard anyone that cared what flavor or brand of cigarette
or alcoholic beverage their first one was. The hook is the activity itself.
Choices such as flavors or brands are differentiating choices made after one
starts smoking and or drinking. I see no reason there would be any difference
when it comes to vaping.
Kid's are not influenced to buy anything. They generally swipe their folks stuff
or get it from a friend. After they become regular users purchasing enters the
picture.

I agree that peer pressure is the number one reason minors smoke and drink. I know it's how I ended up smoking and drinking. But what got me smoking black n milds was the taste. I was just trying to say that no matter what influences minors to buy vapes I'm sure the government will at least attempt to regulate the advertising over time like they did with cigs.

I always read Bill's "ban" as "de facto ban by eliminating >99.9% of the current industry through the proposed deeming regulations." I can understand not putting that in a thread title.

Thanks. That makes sense.
