New York's governor says the state is banning all flavors of e-cigarettes except tobacco and menthol

[Ouderkirk]

I am your story except... I smoked for 40 years.

It worked. It was not easy but it worked better than all other methods. That last step from 3mg/ml to zero was a tough one but I made it.

[Lurker]

“Lots of people manage to quit without 5% nicotine mango flavor vaping.”

It’s lucky to see someone arrogant enough to decide things for everyone. Thank goodness you happened by when you did.

You have different numbers than mine, but the trend is quite clear either way.

Your tobacco numbers are for lung cancer only. CDC adds quite a few for other smoking related deaths, (emphysema, COPD, strokes heart attacks, etc.)

[null and void]

The tobacco industry could not be happier.

Doubtless The tobacco industry paid for it, plausibly deniably but paid none the less.

[Sparticus]

That’s really great NY, helping all of those kids develop a taste for tobacco.

Whoa! Just telling where the ‘emergency’ came from, and being real about the nanny state. I don’t like it one bit, but until something drastic, the nanny state isn’t going away.

I don’t mind harmful (or potentially harmful) things banned from minors and kept actually less attractive to minors. I’m ok with the banning of kiddie flavors but I don’t know how well it will work. Like banning cannabis to children. Great law, doesn’t completely work.

[Starcitizen]

Liberals are screaming to ban flavored alcohol like vodka, beer and wine coolers as well now... as they claim it attracts young adults...

[Lurker]

I’m using a Juul right now. And I am no school kid.

To make any purchase at the shop that I frequent, one must present an ID. No one under 18 allowed inside.
Strictly adhered to.

Perhaps parents should teach their kids right from wrong better.

But, no.
Let’s unleash government power more.
That fixes everything.

[StAnDeliver]

Run out and corner the market on branded flavored fuel, and you will triple your money in a year...

So you are saying the data from the NIH is wrong. OK. Please share with us the real amount of kids vaping

More than 44,000 students took part in the 2018 annual survey of drug, alcohol, and cigarette use in 8th, 10th, and 12th graders. About 37% of 12th graders reported vaping in 2018, compared with 28% in 2017. Vaping of each substance that was asked about increased. This includes nicotine, flavored liquids, marijuana, and hash oil.

So you are now off vaping?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Geez. Why can't they let the consumer decide for himself? I don't smoke or use e-cigs, but from what I know, an e-cig is a thousand times less harmful than a regular cigarette. In is probably less harmful than a shot of whiskey.
 

[Calvin Locke]

You can use a sous vide device for vaping?

Oh, Juul, not Joule.

Never mind.

[cgbg]

Flavored ice cream kills a lot more people than flavored vaping....

6 people in 10+ years died from vaping. How many from stinky sticks? Why not ban them?

Follow the money. This looks like BT trying to save their future junkies from vaping instead of smoking their death sticks!

I don't know anyone who started vaping that didn't eventually stop smoking.

Kids are gonna either smoke or vape. Make it harder for them to vape and they're gonna smoke! It's something kids do. It's been their bread and butter for a few centuries. Vapins gotta be cuttin into their sales!

“the harm is coming from just certain products like THC- not flavored juices”

Please share your evidence that THC is responsible for this. Lol, you can’t. If you could Juul would pay you $10 million dollars for it.
