So I’ve been thinking about the proposed upcoming US ecig legislation issue and I think I see a serious inconsistency.
The way I remember it:
The last FDA head already removed flavoring sales from gas stations and non B&M vape shops. He did this because they did research and found that gas stations were selling to minors whereas B&M shops weren’t. It was meant as a support to B&M shops.
These new systems promote a general ban on flavorings. One that is ALREADY IN PLACE in gas stations. All it does is punish B&M stores and online sales.
Even ignoring that the legislation doesn’t actually affect the products from which the deaths occurred because they’re not nicotine ecigs to begin with (or almost entirely not. This one is hard because data is being hidden unless I’m wrong about that)
This legislation serves ONLY to remove a punishment to the stores that sold to minors in the first place. It actually does THE OPPOSITE of its actual intent.
Does this sound right? Am I missing something?
