It's about the money. Bottom line.
They're not upset about the $6 Blue garbage non-refillable, non-rechargables at the gas stations. They know a scam when they see it, and the way a gangster takes over a scam is to say "Keep it up, and cut me 25% of the take." They both recognize each other, and a deal is made.
The e-liquid thing gives them nightmares because it's the only economical solution. If it's economical, that means the government's not taking enough of a cut. That's literally their mindset.
For them to spit the old "THINK OF THE CHILDREN!" line is beyond contemptible, as well as a classical logical fallacy used in authoritarian propaganda since time immemorial, but I expect no better from them.
The New York Times is a bleating authoritarian socialist rag from Gotham City that I wouldn't wipe my bottom with. They hate everything and anything that's not able to make the government a pile of money or a pile of votes. Why do you think they like {OTHER STUFF} legalization so much? Because they care about individual choice? HAH
