Welcome to the forum Katie.
There have been attempts to ban cigarettes. That train has left the station, and returned to the station loaded with package labeling, indoor smoking bans (even outdoor smoking in some places), and piles of taxes.
I would say vapes are on the train now, and we wait to see how much, in the end, it will cost us to keep
vaping, once it is branded a sin, as kiddie endangerment, and loaded with taxes. Already you have to look at a battery (no juice) in a package labeled "this product contains nicotine". Logic is apparently not required of hypocritical government.
If you're worried that
vaping is as bad as smoking, I hope there will be lots of answers to that in this thread. It just isn't, and in places where logic does have a role, like in the UK, you'll see that hospitals have added vape shops for smokers in hospital who can't smoke, and for their visitors.
More studies need to be done on nicotine isolated into a pure pharmaceutical grade liquid, since all of those "nicotine/cancer" studies were done on tobacco. The divergence has been in places where
vaping has been studied for smoking cessation, again, UK. Pharmaceutical grade liquid nic has also been studied and found to be helpful in cognitive diseases of old age, and in IBS. Otherwise, PG is used in asthma inhalers and other inhaled medicines for lung disorders, and VG has many internal medical and food applications. I'd be far more worried about the artificial colors in your kids' candies than I would be about vaping, but it is possible to eliminate the only ingredient that I believe is still an unknown, the flavorings. I vape unflavored when I have to be around others.
