One way to fight the war on flavors. I wish I had the power to make this happen.

[ScottP]

I wish someone with the resources to do this, would.

Step 1: Find out where Scott Gottleib lives.
Step 2: Find 3 Billboards between his house and FDA headquarters to rent.
Step 3: Place the following ads on them:

• Dear Mr. Gottleib, Please ban flavorings in ecigs, we could use another revenue stream. Sincerely, The Cartels

• Dear Mr. Gottleib, Please ban flavorings in ecigs, we would really like for everyone to switch back to our primary products. Sincerely, Big tobacco

• Dear Mr. Gottleib, Please ban flavorings in ecigs, we would really like to sell more of our plots. Sincerely, Your local Funeral Home

See how he reacts to that.

Mr. Gottleib, would you wear unscented cologne?
Would you eat an unflavored prime rib?
Would you drink unflavored koolaid?

For all we know he has already received these messages from those sources in his private correspondence...(accompanied with a big fat check)

What the world really needs is better parents.

What the world really needs is better parents.

What the world needs is to keep things in perspective. Youth vaping and smoking rates are down, more kids are using another product that is being legalized in many areas and alcohol. It isn't an epidemic to panic about. Could we do better? Certainly, but as an old ad campaign said, we've come a long way baby.

Ok, ya got me! But, yeah, currency of some form definitely switched hands.

Plenty of good parents, you can't chain the kids to your ankle 24/7.

There are plenty of good parents but there are too many that just let their kids do, and quite a few that are actively contributing to the problem by buying Juuls for their kids.

Those buying juuls are in a very small minority. They are the only ones you read about, not the hundreds that are enforcing consequences. Good parents understand that kids who are hovered over and not allowed to stumble never learn to walk upright on their own.

 

[ScottP]

They are the only ones you read about,

Again I agree, but the ones that we read about are the ones causing the most problems, helping to sway public opinion against us. Anyway this is a bit off topic.

One more comment...people trying to do right don't feel the need to shout from rooftops what they do. They simply do and go about their business. FB is the blight that allow the few to put their business out there, unfortunately for reasons I don't understand some find it interesting and jump on board.

Mr. Gottleib, would you wear unscented cologne?

Hasn't he already drank the koolaid?

I agree and besides, who would want to?
It would cause my ankle holster to chafe.

Sensationalistic journalism doesn't help either.
No one wants to tune in to a story of how a parent enforced a curfew or made a child do their homework.

And many that want to put their business out there on FB are the ones that chose to allow electronic devices to babysit and bring up their children and then complain and blame everything and everyone else when even more poor choices are a result of it.

 

[Letitia]

Or when they never move out.

Or when they never move out.

Reminds me of when my son was a young child and said he was going to live with us forever.
I explained to him that one day he would grow up and want to live on his own and start his own family.
He thought about it for a minute and said "OK, I'll live next door."

He just turned 18 on the first and is my last one at home, so let's hope he has completely forgotten about it.
