CDC's Tom Frieden manufactures more hysteria over e-liquid safety to lobby for FDA deeming reg/ban

[rothenbj]

Too late, I'm afraid. From my notes (have not verified actual market situation):

And look at the packaging-

What about the children? With the number of reported poisoning with toothpaste, this could create a pandemic. Flavors and graphics that are marketed to get kids to want them.

Good find, rothenbj. Interesting that the headline for this article is "Crest Makes a “Be” Line for Millennial Wallets." As I understand the term, millenials are people now in their (roughly) twenties. Not children, surely. So Mint Chocolate Trek toothpaste is clearly marketed to adults, whereas cotton candy e-liquid is clearly marketed to children. Ah so...

Don't be alarmed. Evidently Procter & Gamble -- and relevant public health authorities -- are confident that parents are responsible enough to prevent their children from abusing flavored toothpaste.

Of course. They already have bubble gum flavored toothpaste for the kids.

Too bad Unadulturated nicotine isn't highly addictive or we'd be able to get kids to brush their teeth every hour, all on their own, if they added nicotine to it. Ha! The nicotine would also act as a vomit inducer if someone uses or eats too much of it.
