Kind of like the challenge of "I dare you." .......Like waving a red flag.

Kind of how the only ones actively marketing vapor products to kids are the ANTZ groups that made the commercials combining vapes with candy and kid friendly music?

I'm sure they are right. Press is press. That's a truism in the music business too.

Makes sense to me. Everytime one of those PSAs with the woman with the voice-box came on, I'd run right out and smoke one. Or even one of those stupid Nicorette commercials -- at which, now, I just yell "Just vape, you idiot, IT WORKS!"

I know that when ever I was somewhere and I saw a no smoking sign at the door I would stop and smoke 1 or 2 depending on how long I knew that I would be stuck there.
