There basing it all on the " targeting kids" thing. They have a whole TV adds going around here how big tobacco is marketing for kids. Even to the point of putting the cig posters down low on the doors at the store so kids will see the and putting toys on top of the cigarette rack behind the counters. There saying that flavored cigs and cigars are to entice kids to start smoking.
From what I read in the bill, there only going after retailers and not Internet sails at this point. It would put the whole vape shop business underground. Prohibition all over again. All the kids will want it more because it's underground and sneaky.
Maybe they're going for state run vape stores.
Where would you put a sign a door; where you can only see their legs or where you can see who is coming in the door? Oregon can fix that problem by making kids wear stilts. Don't think for a minute that BT isn't paying the store to have that sign on the door.
Every store I go into has cigs behind the counter, I think it's the law here, and candy/munchies in front of the counter. Let's just make a law against anyone under 21 going into a store.
Problem with nic is, no one told the lawmakers it's not a carcinogen. It's got a bad rap for that. And the kids are already hooked on caffeine and sugar. They don't seem to mind that.
44% of UK doctors think nic is a carcinogen. That probably translates to 98% of Americans and 100% of politicians.
