Please please please use this argument

I have been saying this for so long. "If you walk into a liquor store, the whole wall of vodka has every single flavor you could imagine. You can get bubblegum, watermelon, cherry ... But that doesn't appeal to kids," Stover said. "If you can't get alcohol until you're 21, why do they make it flavored? That's legal. Yes, we're adults, but we still like flavors."

The assumption that only children like flavours is ridiculous to any rational individual. See how long you manage the porridge diet!

The vodka section in any liqueur store is just ridiculous. The bottles are a pretty shade of blue and they have pictures of cupcakes and cotton candy on them and nobody says anything about appealing to kids. ALSO none of the bottles are child proof... like zero of them.

The argument is valid, however they are not advertised and sold online and not normally sold in open mall kiosks that minors can peruse, like ejuices. I know it's different in many places and children are allowed in stores where liquor is sold.Not where I live, but parents still do bring their kids in with them, can't leave 'em in the car afterall. I might add "gummy" vitamins to your list as well. Cheers.

Lets suppose that we agree that only adults can and ought to buy alcohol, tobacco or e-cigs for that matter.

What then are the objections to grown, voting adults legally buying whatever they please?

To add to the alcohol argument, people are killed because of it all the time, it causes liver failure and they still advertise everywhere. I don't think we should fight to advertise everywhere but I think it should be treated equally.
