As parent of twin 11-year olds, couldn't agree more. This whole industry needs to be shut down. Immediately and completely. Shame on everyone letting it get started (as "safe alternative" to smoking) and beyond a medical tool to become a retail product and new addiction for millions of Americans. It is only profit that keeps it legal.

There are some here that say “regulation” won’t work. Perhaps. But will work is the Iron Law of Supply and Demand.

Tax the daylights out of vape devices / e-cigarettes.

Taxes have effectively reduced children smoking, it can reduce children vaping.

Government controls and taxes all the best rackets - cigarettes, marijuana, gambling, and soon, prostitution.

Can’t have those small, uncontrolled vapers running around.

I don’t get it:

1. Using a camel to sell cigarettes - intolerable

2. Flavoring nicotine with CAPTAIN CRUNCH, COTTON CANDY - harmless

Why not license out Elmo to sell dildos..?

While I don’t agree with the way the message is delivered. They demanded Smoking to be stopped. Well the E Cig was the best they came up with. Chantix is a crap drug that has Suicide attached to it besides a lot of side effects.

Until you can replace the Need for Nicotine it’s like the War on Illicit Drugs you can’t stop it.

With each ban, right the government takes away the closer we get to Communism.

Nothing wrong with this statement, I file it under the banner of PUBLIC SERVICE AWARENESS CAMPAIGN. No different than wearing a bracelet or ribbon. I’m not a big supporter of all these messages only because some I find offensive, but free speech is a guaranteed right.

This will be interesting. Will vaping become an important national cause for “conservatives,” now that President Donald J. Trump and Mrs. Melania Trump have decided it is a “growing epidemic” which is a terrible threat to “innocent children”?

Or ... not.

The whole press-induced panic has worked once again even on our community I see.

You are aware that the vast majority of folks getting sick from vaping are using HOME MADE THC vaping liquid, right?

And that most vape shops are closed to minors, right?

And that most vape shops have to have their windows blacked out like a sex shop, right?

Congratulations, you swallowed their line of disinformation for panic-mongering purposes EXACTLY the way they want you to.

After all, “WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!”

I don’t know what’s more pathetic: the panic mongering, or those that fall for it.
