E-cig flavors marketed towards children.

[JeffTM]

Every time I hear the argument that e-cig flavors are marketed towards children I want to stab myself in the face. They aren't marketed towards children, they're marketed towards people with TONGUES. I'm an adult and I friggin' love the taste of cotton candy.

So true. What, are adults only allowed to enjoy the taste of sawdust and tires? What the hell?

My dad is almost 60. Snickerdoodle-flavored e-juice is what got him to really try vaping, and he's a total chocolate fiend as well.

I'm 21, and I was the one who wouldn't try anything but tobacco for my first few weeks of vaping.

What manner of absurd drivel is this? I don't even *understand* half the arguments the FDA is making for banning e-cigs. They just don't make any sense in *reality.*

I expect every "hard" cider/lemonade, flavored vodka, schnapps, gummy vitamins, cherry flavored cough syrup,etc will be removed from store shelves, right? Junior might get them.

I'm 32 and just enjoyed a bowl of Booberry, yea adults hate flavored things. /s

*sigh*... if only the FDA and reality had anything to do with each other.

I wish I could remember which ECF member it was and what they posted, but it was something like "That's right! Adults only like the taste of Kerosene and Moth Balls!" or something like that. The reason that flavors are so big in the E-Cig world is that most of us are getting our sense of taste back for the first time in years. DUH!

I just killed a box of Cap'n Crunch about a week ago. Haven't had that in ages. And it was delicious.

I think I'll go eat some charcoal now, so I can feel grown up.

Well, what about those booger and puke flavored Harry Potter jelly beans they were selling a few years back. What was THAT telling kids?!?

I believe that every one of those members need to vape a good round of their favorite flavor (without nic) just so they know what the heck they are saying. My daugher (21) loves it that I quit analogs. She has no more interest in smoking it now then she did when they first came out. She even hounded me since she was little to stop. I just don't get the FDA. Wait.....yes I do. Big tobacco companies are lining their pockets to ban them. It's always about money. If a person stops analogs, tobacco companies lose, doctors lose, hospitals lose, etc. etc. etc.....More money in my pocket to buy more ecig stuff with...YEAH!

It just hit me after reading your post - to keep the flavors we love and to also prove they are not marketing them in children flavors - we need to ask vendors to rename the same flavors after cocktails - you know names like:
Frangelico and Thatcher's Dark Chocolate Liqueur
Amaretto And Cream
Apple Coconut Sour
Hard apple cider
Berry Chocolate Martini
Orange Vodka
Watermelon Shooter
Strawberry vodka martini
Purple Cocktail
Peach Martini etc.

Now the above are obliviously 'adult' flavors

Not sure if you're being serious or not... but it's actually not a bad idea.

I second Jeff, Kushka. That's actually a really good idea.

To keep things from getting confusing (since there are ACTUAL drink flavors), the alcohol could be in parenthesis if the flavor is not an actual drink flavor.

Anything to get the idiots in suits off our backs...

At the very least it would expose some of the hypocritical nature of the argument. I fully support it.
