Apparently in Malaysia the government has officially banned vaping and there is never the less huge participation and open defiance. What would happen in the US?I'm starting to think it might be a good idea to buy as much gear as you can afford before it gets regulated or taxed out of existence. Be a real good idea to learn to diy your own liquids too.

Thanks for clarification. Presumably the clerics have also banned cigarettes and didn't get much respect for that. So mormons don't approve of tobacco, and also caffine? If I go to Utah will I have trouble finding coffee and diet coke or is it like Malaysia where the clerics are ignored?The clergy has banned it. There has been no ruling from the government as yet.
Nearly everything you ingest causes physiological effects.Of course it is a drug. If it didn't cause physiological effects, there would be no point in using it...
Parents should decide if a kid can possess an ecig off school property. If vaping is criminalized for kids the police will enforce that but not the same law for tobacco.Criminalizing teens for quitting smoking is an atrocity. That's why I've always been against 18+ regs for harmless & effective vaping. After all, since NRT is available OTC for kids 12+, far safer, more effective, and more appealing vaping gear should be as well.
No, the story seemed to say he was in a car with friends. I add the caveat about school grounds because I think parents should have the right to decide but schools can trump that on school property. If it was up to me kids would wear boring dorky uniforms to school.Was this Kid using an e-Cigarette on School Property?

I went back and checked. There is no mention of the circumstances. It seems unlikely that a school would call the police over possession of an ecig but may be. Regardless he was charged with a crime that would be a crime regardless of whether the possession was on school grounds or any place else.I must have Missed that part of him being in a Car with Friends.
That is in the OP's posted Link?

It seems to me the news is generated by people who hope they can shape the FDA response with a public propaganda campaign. I don't know how often that is successful.

Once again, masterful conjecture there.Teens don't use e-cigs to quit smoking. They want to be cool and blow clouds, get a buzz or vape the other stuff...
The wonderful thing about an alternative, you don't have to do option A before you do option B. If you believe option B is the better alternative, you can go straight to that, if you're making that decision.
I would bet money the media contacted her because they were tipped off to the story by somebody else and I would conjecture that it was not a school or the kid's friends nor the mom.The mother is the one who went to the media...
