Where is the responsibility of the parents of the alleged middle schoolers who are using their credit cards to buy e-nic?
Shockingly bad local article

Looks like age verification for pre-paid credit cards would solve the problem of children using them for nefarious purposes. The government can then leave e-nic alone.
Why this all makes perfect sense. The article said kids got it on the Internets. And this is yet another example of how horrible, evil the internets actually is. Ever since Al Gore claimed he invented the internet Republicans have been trying to get it shut down so...
It seems to me that this kind of uninformed and unsubstantiated media babble is just what the Big T and Big P and the govt want in order to tax and regulate yet another aspect of our lives. If local stories such as these get picked up nationally, hysteria from those uneducated about the practice will start another bandwagon. Ever see the govt issue a temporary tax that didn't stay temporary forever?
I highly doubt kids are drinking this stuff...and if they did they would vomit before it even came close to killing. Really how many of us have just got a little bit in our mouths and instantly felt sick?
Kids are nuts these days. I've heard stories of schools removing hand sanitizer because kids were drinking it for the alcohol.
The hand sanitizer story came from the same place this story did, check their archives, some one even linked it in comments after the article.
If you go to the news website, please leave your comments or your story after the article. Make yourselves heard. The FDA will be deciding shortly how they are going to handle e-cigs, after that we will have some time, but not a lot, to contact the FDA and become part of the permanent record that they must consider. Don't whine and cry and use name-calling. Be concise with your information, present facts, please don't be like this news story.
Stepping down from her soap box.......

The whole story is completely implausible. If a couple of kids did this, I'd imagine they most likely would puke their guts out. There would be absolutely no pleasant 'high' effects from drinking nicotine, so nothing to make the projectile vomiting worth another attempt.
What if more kids (or actual real kids rather than imaginary ones) decide to try it because of this idiotic news story?

so then, about 2 ml of 24 mg/ml nic liquid would be enough to get you on the threshold of death ... do these people really belief what they are reporting?
do you know any teenager that has that much control of themselves? do they carry around 1 or 2 ml syringes? how would they measure? would those kids even take the time or effort to measure it out...or do the math it requires to figure out the dose to 'not die' ?
they'd be dropping like flies, if this story was anything other than the sensationalism and BS it is.
this story actually borders on the comical if you thought about it and if it didn't undermine our (vaping community) efforts.

What a load of crap!!
This is obviously a fabricated story, with the sole intent of scaring people into thinking a ban on e-liquid would be a good idea... forgetting that there are hundreds of household products actually much more dangerous than a bottle of e-liquid... how about banning them all, and letting people clean and sanitize their homes with mineral water...?
How about some random kid who reads that BS, actually believes he can get 'high' on a bottle of e-juice, and actually tries it?
Who do you think will be blamed? His absent parents? The brickhead who wrote that BS?? No, of course not... the e-cig industry will be crucified by the public opinion... the same public opinion that is manipulated by brickheads who write BS in the first place... an so the pattern repeats itself.

^^^ That. That has the potential to be the saddest bit of truth coming out of this piece of fiction masquerading as journalism.
When that idiot TV station's license comes up for renewal there should be a lot of input from the vaping community - and the hand sanitizer industry - as to why that renewal would not be in the public interest.
Rotten, stupid, silly, idiotic "article".
But GREAT comments!
Jeez.. I remember the times when "journalism" involved "research" - and not just making up any silly fairy tale
Oh, do not be fooled! Today's "journalists" are a very professional bunch, and today's "journalism" still involves A LOT of research. Trouble is, today's "research" consists mainly in looking into silly fairy tales...
How about the fact that VG is also a laxative?
Yea, I'm sure kids just love spewing from Both ends... which is where this story needs to found at...

Yeah.. a lot of research into who pays you the most to spread lies to further his cause.
There is more truth in this statement then that entire NEWS/Entertainment story.
Ya know, there use to be a time, not too long ago, when the NEWS reported just the facts. Not the facts according to who paid them.
I guess that's the one thing we all need to realise. NEWS makes their money through advertising. It's just a shame that thier advertising has spilled over into their NEWS reporting.
