I think the attention on flavored e-cigs is that is is believed the flavors are what attracts kids. From my understanding, it is the THC laced vape liquids that are killing people. Very possibly due to poor quality control.
I read a story a whole back about a father that was teeing off a round of golf. He shanked his drive, hit his child in the head and killed the child. Should we ban golf?
I have long believed we would have a much better country if we turned every single cold course into a rifle range.
This has been my understanding as well. These e-cigarettes are stupid by almost every measure, but we used drug delivery devices to comfort our patients having breathing difficulties that produced a visible vapor when I was working. It is not the device... it is harmful substances being used in the devices that are causing the problems.
These substances are being delivered in a way that gets into your bloodstream almost instantaneously. With an obviously gullible public we do need some regulatory process to ensure that what is being delivered actually is safe. I have a knee jerk reaction to government regulation as well, but this crap is ridiculous.
