E-cigarettes, especially Juul, may be doing something odd to kids

Last night dozing on and off in front of the TV this piece comes up on the news.

A $150.00 a week refill habit, are you kidding me? If it's that serious there are more issues than your kid vaping. Is the money coming from the parents because most kids who have any type of job wouldn't spend that kind of hard earned cash.

Hell, I've vaped for almost 10 years now and I've never spent that kind of money on vaping....EVER

Rehab? I doubted this was serious until I googled it, turns out there are plenty of places to take the parents cash because insurance isn't going to cover it. Putting a weekly $ amount to the habit is fuel for them to push the parents "to get your kids back".

I know we have problems with underage vaping, but I'm also sick of the responsible vapers getting a black eye.

What is Truly Sad is that some Media Outlets are willing to throw All Vapers, and Anyone trying to Quit Smoking using an e-Cigarette, under a Bus just to do a 2,000 word Human Interest Piece that is on the Extreme Fringe of Reality.

How many Smokers who Want to Quit are going to read something like that MSNBC piece of Tripe and then just Keep Smoking because of the Distorted Picture e-Cigarettes are being portrayed as?

According to the article, insurance appears to have covered it, which of course, means we all end up paying for it.

"Rehab worked for Luka, who is back to normal, his mother said.

“We first noticed a change after three weeks when we could finally have a conversation,” she said. “We were allowed to talk to him every day, and we had our first conversation in 15 months.”"

OMG, seriously? He was so 'drugged' out on nicotine that he couldn't even carry on a normal conversation? Clearly the objective of this article is to further demonize ecigs by any means necessary, even if it means abandoning your morals and principals.

Every time I see the stupid "drug rehab" commercials, I want to puke. It is one thing to offer rehab for people who need it (......, ......., alcohol etc) but these scumbaggs are just sucking peoples money from them under the disguise of a crappy production-line rehab scam. Now, these same scumbaggs are probably going to be doing the same for teen e-cig use? Just a matter of time till you see "Teen Nicotine Rehab" commercials on late night tv.

This is assuming the "journalist" actually has morals and principals, something greatly lacking from journalists and media these days.
