    I'm gonna play devil's advocate: Did the flavored Juuls entice kids to try them, when they might have been reluctant to try cigarettes? Then the flavored Juuls are taken away and the kids that are hooked on nicotine turn to cigarettes?
    According to my grandson, they don't care what flavor they are. They "huff" them for the nicotine "buzz".
    If they want real flavor they suck on a lifesaver.

    Peer pressure plays a huge factor in things like this,be it vaping,smoking,drinking etc.

    Even back in my day kids didn't start smoking or drinking because they wanted to,they just did it because they thought it was ''cool'' and everyone else did it.

    But if i had to choose the lesser of two evils it would have be vaping,hopefully these numbers will induce to some sort of change in their policy and laws...one can only hope.

    San Francisco used to just be a jewel.

    Sights and Culture. Jazz and Good Food. Easily the Nicest City on the West Coast. Just the thought of driving down the 101 and Bopping around The City on a Fall Day would put a Smile on my Face.

    But that was a Long Time Ago.

    Today it is a Filthy Wretch. Rotting from the Inside Out.

    After 27 years living there, I realized things might not turn around so I moved away :D

    I was up in Santa Rosa in the early 80's. I have some Very Found Memories of trips to The City.

    It Broke My Heart the last time I was there. All the Trash and the Filth and the Homeless. Hardly anyone walking around had a Smile on their face. It was like All the Charm of being in The City had been sucked out of them.
