I suspect other flavours will come under fire when vaping flavours comes closer to regulation ... maybe liquorice, cotton candy, peppermint ... who knows ... we might only be left with two ... PG and VG.
That may be the goal...

So this is just a coincidence that government departments are looking at banning flavourings for e liquids.
I don't know what the most popular flavours are in the vaping community. I mean what flavours sell the most ?. Are those the ones being singled out as toxic ?. Is this the kind of thing that will damage the industry ?. Slowly taking it apart bit by bit !.
I bet if someone investigated and looked into whoever started this controversy, you would see a trail of money that led us right to the doorstep of big tobacco.
Cinnamaldehyde is a known problem.

Cinnamon flavour is not known to be problematic in itself, but as far as I know all the intense, fiery cinnamon juices have cinnamaldehyde in, which is very problematic in some people.
For those of you who like original sources, here is the full report:

As far as the big tobacco/big pharma connections, nothing direct, though it's easy enough to hide such connections.
The study was funded by California's Tobbacco-Related Disease Research Program: TRDRP Home Page
They describe themselves as "one of three state agencies that work together towards the vision of a tobacco-free California", and their first Core Value is "A commitment to… Tobacco-related science of highest quality and potential impact" [emphasis added]
So it is a government agency that wants to most effectively scare people off of tobacco. Of course, when your funding comes from a cigarette tax (5 cents per pack), there is an understandable desire to move that tax income to other products in the same market. And what better way to get that tax than by maximizing the "potential impact" of research.
I don't see any direct "Pfizer paid for this" kind of links- just the typical government bureaucracy looking for additional funding sources. I do find their requirement of "PRIOR TO FUNDING grant awardees must: Modify titles and lay abstracts, if requested" to at least rhyme with propaganda, even if that is a common practice.
