When vaping finally gets to the point where Big Tobacco is feeling a huge hit, which I believe will probably happen within the next five years, it will be very interesting to see what they come up with to counter.

As far as young men wearing those low riding pants (which looks like they're wearing a skirt to me). Fashion is one thing that will forever change :)

I think they'd be far less likely to try vaping if disposeables like blu, njoy, etc. didn't exist. The big tobacco companies know this I'm sure.
In mean how likely would it be for young kids to pony up $50+ just to try a ego kit and e-liquid and watch several YouTube videos to figure out how it works? I'm sure some would but surely not even close to the number who grab a cheapie from the gas station.

If you wanted to ensure no kids ever start vaping, make every device required to have engravings of John Denver or Janet Reno. :)

We live in a technical age. There are gadgets we never dreamed of when I was a teenager in the eighties, and WE had stuff they never dreamed of in the 70's, and so on, and so on. Kids wouldn't hesitate to take up a tech answer to smoking, and I can even see the whole mod thing being a draw. And someone mentioned the cost, but you gotta remember we are talking about a generation that thinks nothing of several hundred dollar handheld game systems, a single game for which costs as much as an eGo starter kit. The only saving grace I can see is the sheer accumulation of stuff that vaping requires (bottles of juice, clearos or atomizers, batts, etc.) is harder to hide than a pack of smokes and a lighter. As ever, it will fall on parents to pay attention to what the heck their kids are doing and take responsibility for their actions.
