I don't always use fruit flavors, but I occasionally like having the Raspberry & Cherry flavors around. I would hate to not be able to get these, but as long as it doesn't include my favorite flavor...the Triple Nickel, then I'll be okay. Still, it's a shame that the FDA is doing this to us.
By their own numbers the majority of adults are also using these vilified fruit flavors that they claim are for children.
This is just silly. Convenience stores sell all manner of age restricted products: if carding has proved impossible in these locations then all age restricted products need pulled from convenience store shelves, not just BT's biggest competitors.
Yes it’s silly, but we’re dealing with parental fear here which transcends rational thought. The herd is in full stampede at the moment and won’t reapond to rational thought until it calms down. Got to suck it up and wait it out.
I don’t think it has much to with parental fear. The air is ripe with the scent of political fear and greed.
You can push through almost any piece of legislation or regulation by dressing it up as being "for the children". We've been beaten over the head with this theory that fruit/dessert flavors are designed for kids for several years and unfortunately it is beginning to take hold. No one wants to have kids getting hooked on products they shouldn't be able to get their hands on but these rules don't really address the fact that social contacts are the primary source of e-cigarettes for minors.

It is true! And this was the case long before there was an internet. Where there is a will there is a way- for good and for ill. We do our part to age verify but at some point the onus falls on parents, older relatives and friends of legal age to adhere to the law.
Parent your child...bite your tongue!
Even the best parents can't police a teen 24/7. Teens are hard wired to push limits and that’s not something that the FDA or parents will ever be able to control/cure.

Ain't that the truth. And somehow the fact that teenage smoking is way down is only mentioned in passing. Actually, all the "high risk" behaviors that minors engage in have been declining but you would never guess this reading the headlines. It must be the 24 news cycle- the world has always been a scary place but now its in our living rooms at all hours.
The government has been haranguing smokers for years to give up and levering unconscionable sin taxes to 'encourage' them to quit. An alternative arrives of at minimum 95% times less harmful and of proven efficacy in quitting cigarettes and at no expense to the government. Rather than encouraging them they continue to regulate them into oblivion, and apply the same sin taxes even though they are neither tobacco nor smoking.
Fight the turgid slick of conformity with which they seek to smother your glory, crushed and broken like chrisps under Bison. They cannot win, we will overcome.

Well at least Gottleib is helping the homeless. It's sweet that he cares about their plight and does not want to enrich only the greedy tobacco lobby, but also the children who will turn to the homeless and employ their services for the right price.
Entrepreneurism at its finest..
Quite frankly I'd rather a teen vape than use the homeless as their intermediaries. I have to say that vaping is probably less harmful than the type of transactions that I, and many of my former teen peers used to engage in.

This is a powerful chart. Where did you find it?
