NPR Piece this morning

[Mikie]

I heard this going into work this morning. It is a piece on middle schoolers vaping. They even talk to some of the kids. This should escalate quickly.

OMG! I was always afraid the yummy Spiced Rum, Vanilla Bourbon, and Pina Colada flavors I vape might be appealing to children, and this article totally confirms those fears. Those respective alcoholic drinks should immediately be banned, as it might lure middle schoolers to pick up drinking by enticing them with sweet, fruit and candy-like flavors.

[/sarcasm]
That junk link should be broken, BTW.

Really wish i hadn't gone down and read the comment section, pretty sure i may spin off the planet now...

And yeah break the link to this trash.

Like they say, "it takes a parent to raise a child, but a village to raise a village idiot". The village people are trying to raise the idiot quota again. Fortunately there are some good commenters so far who is battling major idiots who demands to parent everybody's children.

Sorry, I broke the link. I was just sharing something I found disturbing to vaping. Interviewing a 12 yr old about how much she likes a vape flavor isn't good and how her 12 year old class mates are vaping in class isn't good. I don't disagree with NPR reporting on this(actually produced by Youth Radio), because it is happening. Shouldn't be long until main stream runs their own piece and things will get ugly.

And don't doubt if a 12 year old could buy liquor they wouldn't, I would have lol

Sorry, I took out the link. I was just sharing something I found disturbing to vaping. People can google for it if they want to read or listen to it.

No need to completely remove it, if anything it being here will help people go over and hopefully add some reason to that discussion.

Here's how ECF recommends breaking links for future info:

Really wish you hadn't mentioned that... I had to go read them and got my blood pressure to the red line.

Nice to know my tax money goes to such crud.

Left wing NPR's segment was truly outrageous lobbying propaganda for more Obama FDA regulations, as it encouraged youth to use e-cigs, lied about the laws (as most states ban the sale to minors), and lied about the products.

 

[rothenbj]

If that's not just a propaganda piece, I haven't ever seen one. The "Gummy Bear" quote fits right in with the ANTZ rants of the past. Plus vaping in the classroom?

[Mikie]

Since NPR covered it, I am just waiting for it to be on my local news. Kids vaping cause it tastes good sort of BS. It is up to the parents to PARENT, and educate their kids on the world. If my 12 yr old thought vaping was cool, I would be all over it, just like if they thought smoking was cool. Neither is a thing anyone should be doing. true, vaping is supposed to be less harmful, but {MODERATED} , it isn't something to do for no other reason than flavor, eat a gummy bear or two if you want to taste the flavor of a gummy bear.

Some peoples children....

I'd suggest breaking it like this:

htt
p://onvapin
g.co
m/the-ultimate-list
-of-studies-on-e-cigar
ettes-and-their-safety/

Which leaves it easy to copy/paste(especially on mobile) but makes it unreadable by web crawlers like Google.
