Senators Call on FDA to Restrict the Sale, Distribution, and Marketing of E-Cigarettes

They might be able to ban pre-flavored juice, but flavoring agents will always be available. We'd probably have the options of tobacco, menthol, and unflavored. But I imagine anybody could manage to add a few drops to a bottle of juice.

If you can make koolaid, you can put flavor in e-liquid. but it's such a bandaid solution approach anyway.

Nevermind the flavored cigars available at the gas station... or they forgo the cigar entirely and sell wraps.

I think the FDA should put a warning label on these Senators

Hypocrisy makes my head spin! I think that the FDA and lawmakers ought to be required to disclose who paid for the studies/research that they are relying on for the factual evidence of an issue that requires regulation.

Write, write, write letters!

You can go to war and die for your country at 18 but you can't drink until your 21. Makes a lot of sense. I personally do not think kids should be able to join the military until 21. Many are not mature enough to comprehend the seriousness of the commitment. Never mind the recruiters stalking our nations high schools telling our kids anything they want to hear so they will join up. It makes me sick. But bubblegum flavored e liquid now that's a hazard
