    I hate Trump and republicans, but good. Let adults do what they want. We shouldn’t lose our rights to police other people’s kids. If adults want fruity e-cigs they should be able to have them.

      Trump is the one who killed the industry in the first place. Him and his previous FDA are the ones who implemented all these new rules.

      you’re not even able to get healthy food on a daily basis anymore.

      so yeah, let’s also reduce the regulation in favor for these big corporations that… for sure… will be totally reasonable and won’t screw up kids with addictive products directly served in schools without parents supervision.

        These laws didn’t even ban them, they just lead to the current disposables market which are allows by loophole:

        1. Cheaper and easier to obtain, usually sold in gas stations
        2. Typically cheaper elements, meaning heavy metals
        3. Cheaper batteries meaning more fires
        4. So. Much. More. Ewaste.

        Going back makes it easier for people with custom mods to obtain ejuice which is like the millennial equivalent to smoking half and half out of a wooden pipe.

        Also every weed dispensary I’ve ever been too has had flavored vape carts/pods and disposables, usually flavored via natural terpenes taken from weed or other plants.

        Both could exist. Letting flavored e cigs exist doesn’t take away the ability to get healthy food.

        Also directly served in schools is a lie. No school in USA or abroad is selling this or “serving it directly” to children.

        When I was young we drank flavored alcohol doesn’t mean they should take it away from adults who choose to consume it.

        I mean e-cigs are already legal. Adding flavor to them doesn’t make it worse for you.

        It’s like if beer was legal, but fruit-flavored beer wasn’t

        We’re not discussing food. Letting adults have flavored vapes doesn’t mean that kids will eat unhealthy foods. That’s another issue entirely.
