    This is just a tough one to see where the outcome could land. Keeping our children healthy should always be of the utmost importance for us as a nation, but who knows if bannings flavors, or even eventually E-Cigs, would lead to a net positive or not.

    Who knows if this is even a genuine concern within our government, or if this just a tobacco lobbyist play.

    All I can say is, vaping as most are practicing is not healthy, it's hurting our children, and old white people hate it, so I'm going to guess it's could be at risk for being banned as a whole one day.

    So what government agency approves something like e-cigs for sale to the public? Did they have to go through an approval process? I would assume so.

    Im going to be really honest in regards to what i think. It seems the government maybe looking for an excuse to ban them. This sudden "rash" of deaths just seems weird.

    Not sure about this but if it's going to keep the kids safe that is what's most important cause it's all about the kids.

    if it is all about the kids, the guns should be banned long time ago.
    it is all about money.

    Had a Trump voting Facebook friend say Obama trampled over her by banning flavored cigarettes.

    This isn't a wrong move. Personally I think they should be sold, but probably with additional regulation.

    Totally wrong imo but I also want all drugs to be legal. Republicans are all talk when it comes to rights and freedom. At least the Dems don't try to hide it, they tell you to your face you're not capable of protecting yourself, need govt mommy & daddy to do it for you.

    What the hell happened to my right to vape? This is a classic example of government overreach!

    1) This is largely due to effects on kids
    2) It needs to pay for itself when brought back to market

    1) Please don't fall for that bullshit, otherwise prepare for a ban on all social media... as well as digital screens, video games, music, tide pods, peppers, backpacks, etc... Oh! the kids, please...

    2) I think you mean the Vape lobby needs to pay up, govt wants that hush money.

    “We can’t have our kids be so affected,” Trump said. “That’s how the first lady got involved. She’s got a son ... a beautiful young man, and she feels very, very strongly.”


    Has Trump ever met Melania's son? o_O

    We don't need to ban more things. People generally want more freedom, not less.

    Government should ban things that are a danger to society.

    It's easier (but not really) to ban things that teenagers and douchebags do than it is to ban teenagers and douchebags.

    Reminds me of how they banned Cloved cigarettes but not Menthol cigarettes.

    Guess the vape industry needs better lobbyists
