I had all those perks of ‘60s youth too. We’d run all over the neighborhood and only came home when it was dinnertime. Seems every Stingray had a baseball mitt slung over the handlebar just in case of a pickup game in one of the fields at the school across the street. Nobody wore helmets, knee pads or elbow pads. If you fell, you got your a** up off the ground, dusted off, then got back in your bike.

A long-past era...

Is there a single record of any e-cig retailer marketing their products to children? Those flavors are aimed at adults. Their meant to be different and fun. E-cigs don’t have to taste like a cigarette as they contain no tobacco.

STUPID IDIOT DOPE, I NEED A BRAIN!

FIXED

Those bright candy color laundry pods look like candy to small children. I've seen warning signs up about them. So why are they still on the market. Cause we have people with to much money to waste, and to lazy to measure out laundry soap.

I have never seen an e-cig ad targeted to children.

Democrats are often a solution in search of a problem.

Congrats back to you all.

I’ve tried every other method to quit and the e-cig is the only one that has worked so far.

Make sure you use the liquid that says ‘MADE IN USA”. I bought some that was....you guessed it, made in China and returned it for the ‘Crown Seven’ brand.

Same here. Nov 15 was my quit date.

She almost seems like an extra from a Monty Python skit.

Part of me feels sorry for her.

Why not just ban chocolate, gummy bears, bubble gum and strawberries?

Mikhael Obama plans to do just that!

Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) wrote to the FDA Monday warning e-cigarette makers are trying to entice children with flavors such as “chocolate, gummy bear, bubble gum and strawberry.” She also warned the industry is using “celebrity endorsements” to encourage young people to take up smoking the nicotine vaporizers.

No problem with Colorado's pot infused chocolate bars and doped up gummy bears though.

Down is up. Wrong is right.

“marketing” any of that to children shouldn’t be allowed, selling it to them should be a crime.
