Proof that e-cigs aren't marketed to kids

[cyberwolf]

I went out to the car this morning to find that someone, likely a neighborhood kid, had busted open my center console. It's an old convertible, so locking it is just a good way to lose a top and whatever is inside. Anyhow, I realized that I had left my 5V box mod in it when I saw it laying on the seat with a bunch of cartomizers. The marketing to kids aparently isn't working.

I kind of hope they come back, because I'm going to leave a few freshly printed twenties in there for them to spend

Ouch sorry about the car though.

Sorry about your car but I've never bought into the "marketed for kids" claims. To me that's just something the FDA and other anti activist groups come out with every so often to draw pubic opinion. PV's aren't Cocoa Puffs or Lucky Charms. I've never seen an add geared toward the underage group.

I'm with you on that one, it would seem that adults are not allowed to like any of the following; fruit, soda, mints, cofee, chocolate. In fact, anything pretty much. I think it is one of their weaker arguments, yet ironically, it probably does a lot of damage.

hahah classic story. I doubt kids know what electronic cigarettes are, unless they see electronic cigarettes at the mall with fun flavors like bubble gum, green apple, etc.

Yes, all we are allowed is cigarette tastes, salt, grease, potato's, and Tic Tacs. And with the Tic Tacs, they're being generous.

And I'll bet ya a million if there were some cigs in there they would have taken those....

I don't think that e cig's are being marketed to kids but I know that my 14 yr old son wants to try mine. But he had no clue as to what an e cig was until I bought one. (He's also stolen my analogs before) I haven't let him. When it comes down to it kids are kids and they want to try everything. Especially things that they aren't supposed to try. Anything could be said to be marketed towards kids. How many commercials have you seen lately with young people in them? All attractive all young having a good time.

Sorry about the car to further your evidence.

My local supplier has instructions that anything vape related has to be delivered to an adult. Its all over the fine print in order confirmations like this:

PLEASE NOTE THAT this package must be delivered to a person over 18 years of age.

Lucky he didn't take your mod. Once the cart was empty, he would have dumped it all in the trash. No kid is going to go to the expense of buying e-cig equipment and then paying for the maintenance supplies. Just not going to happen. Swiping a few cigs from a parent or getting a friend to buy/sneak him a pack is a different matter.
