Watching TV and a thought occurred to me

[Keeferes]

While watching television this evening a thought occurred to me. Now I will say this is a very off the wall kind of thought. I am no way trying to start anything. Now with that said...

A main point of argument for banning/regulating vaping is the flavors available. We have all heard the argument of "it's geared to kids and teens, with flavors like candy, and drinks, and fruit flavor." I'm sure we can all agree this is bogus propaganda. This brings me to my unusual off the wall thought.

Condoms come in candy, and drinks, and fruit flavors. They are sold world wide and available in any color you can think of. One could argue then that Trojan is marketing towards minors. After all, teens love flavors. Yet no mention of this ever. Now to honestly believe Trojan is directly marketing towards minors is obsurd. Just as obsurd as saying our juice is aimed towards teens.

Like I said... Off the wall random thought. Hopefully I didn't tick anyone off.

Yeah, in that case they should outlaw all of the fruity and sweet alcoholic beverages too because people could say those are targeting kids as well. I guess people think that adults don't like variety and different flavors as well?

Cherry flavored vodka, berry flavored condoms and strawberry flavored e-cigs (in that order). A fruit salad of vices. Love it.

Flavored sodas too... Sugar is bad for your teeth and promotes obesity in children .

Fruit flavored wine coolers...

Their crazy!

Fruit flavored nicotine gum.

Tequila flavored bubble gum? Anyone?

That's it! Now I know why I started drinking so early. It was because of the tequila flavored lollipops I used to get in the early 90's. Lol.

I only started to smoke cigarettes in my teens because of the candy cigarettes I bought and ate when I was a child.

Those reaching for a reason will use any excuse.

That was not so off the wall! I loved that comparison, absolutely true.

It gets way deeper then that. I left more then 90% of the full thought out so my post stayed work and family friendly. Lol.
