AMA calls for total ban on all e-cigarette, vaping products 
My commentary:
The AMA cites a surge in underage teen use of e-cigarettes as a reason for calling for a total ban on e-cigarettes. Really? Yet more teens use alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana, than those who vape e-cigarettes according to a recent study done by the FDA. It thought the AMA based their public policies on science, not on knee jerk political positions. Maybe I was wrong.
Experimenting once, twice, or even a few times with an e-cigarette for curiosity's sake does not fall into the category of an "epidemic". I experimented with a lot of adult things before I was 21 but that didn't make me an addict or even a "user".
“It’s simple, we must keep nicotine products out of the hands of young people.” Dr. Patrice Harris, AMA’s president, said in a statement. The Vaping Trade Association agrees that nicotine products must be kept out of the hands of young people. Members of this group promote strict age verification like adult vape shops use.
However, e-cigarettes made and sold by Big Tobacco companies such as Juul, Blu, and Vuse, who together own at least 60% of the vape market, sell their products in gas stations and convenience stores which often don't use strict age verification. This allows kids easier access to their products.
Kids' desire to "Juul" is for the "head rush" they get from the unusually high nicotine in this specific product, and not for the flavors, which is often mistakenly attributed to their popularity among youth. The manufacturers of Juul, Blu, and Vuse are not members of the Vapor Trade Association.
The AMA also comments on the recent vape-related lung illnesses and deaths as a reason for their recommendation for a ban. The FDA and CDC have both publically stated that this crisis was caused from some users using black market THC cartridges sold on street corners, and had nothing to do with legal nicotine vape products sold in legitimate stores.
Such poor research by the AMA disqualifies their recommendation for an all out vaping ban, damages their credibility, and does a disservice to public health. Prohibition has never been a viable solution, it just creates a black market.
The UK's Public Health England has reported e-cigarettes are 95% safer than smoking tobacco cigarettes. 480,000 smokers die every year from the effects of smoking. In a decade of use, no one has died from the effects of vaping nicotine e-cigarettes and has saved at least 13 million lives by switching from tobacco cigarette use.
