I moved this here to begin a new topic so that I do not hijack the other one.
As they should. I would not wish upon anyone, especially a naive minor, an addiction that I myself foolishly took up willingly.
Understand that I am not wanting to create a stink here, as I am new to the Vaping community I just ask the questions I am curious about. Such as, what steps could be taken to prevent minors from purchasing these products? We can all remember being youth determined on getting whatever adult product we wanted whether it was a pack of smokes or a bottle a whiskey, we'd get it. But what steps can be taken by the suppliers on the frontline to prevent any sales? Especially if the sales in question are being done virtually with no physical contact being made?
Also, I do not see how offering flavored eliquid is a way of enticing minors to be smokers or how it is any different than flavored hookah tobacco that boasts all kinds of blends that could supposedly be marketed to that same group. But if this is what they are saying, in defense of flavored eliquid, what impact does the flavored eliquid have with you? Meaning what purpose other than having some new flavor to smoke does it present for you? Understand I am not being critical, I already have a list made up of all the flavors I want to try personally. But I want to know your views on them.
And at last, if electronic cigarettes are categorized, falsely of course, as a "tobacco product" and the flavored eliquid now becomes the victim of unfair scrutiny, won't we still have the tobacco and menthol flavors to vape? If we had this at least I could still see electronic cigarettes being a huge advancement in giving people a healthy alternative to analog cigarettes.
What are your feelings on this?
