Kos diary... arrgh

[Shan123]

I read Kos but am not signed up at the Great Orange Satan... the community there has always been difficult for me to grok. (More of an Eschaton/FDL/C&L fan.)

However, this is up now:
Daily Kos: GUS: Have some diethylene glycol with that e-cigarette

I'm not going to sign up and have my first post there be (a) long and (b) likely interpreted as trollish. But if any of you are Kossacks and feel it's worth it, you might want to add something to that abysmal discussion. They're buying the same "bubblegum flavors for children" argument and not looking at the specifics of the FDA sitch at all.

(Has anyone ever actually seen, let alone vaped, bubblegum-flavored e-liquid? I can imagine few flavors I'd be less anxious to try. But bubblegum sounds very kid-specific. Next, I am certain suppliers will be "marketing to infants" with arrowroot-cookie flavored e-juice.)

Damn I missed that one. 200+ responses in that diary and not one put any perspective to the FDA's claims.
Though it definitely illustrates why the industry needs some form of regulation self or otherwise since it was SE's pisspoor quality control that caused the problem in the first place.
