> nicotine being marketed to children
I've yet to see anything that I'd actually consider "marketing nicotine to children," besides the ads they show on tv complaining that "the industry" is marketing to children, that is. Those "warning" ads are way more appealing to kids and raise their curiosity in my mind than any actual vape ads I see. Talking about the flavors and showing the kids picking up the pretty packages and oohing and aahing over them...sheesh.
Adults like flavored e-juice to vape, way more than flavorless. I don't think flavoring something can be directly equated to marketing to children. Where are these ads marketing to children that everybody keeps mentioning?

While making dessert flavored juice might not be specifically aimed towards children, you know LITTLE children and teens are going to be like "hey, I want to puff clouds of dessert too!" unlike cigarettes "hey I want to puff caustic, nasty, nauseating, burning paper!"
- hopler 8y agoIf adults and kids both like candy, is candy a kids product?
- ryanmercer 8y agoMany candies are very much intended for children. Bright colours, cartoon characters, etc. The FDA, several state attorney generals, senators have all moved in the past few years to attempt to outright ban any flavored tobacco products (including menthol) specifically because they provide an easy gateway for children. The most recent high-profile case I can think of is San Francisco banning the sale of flavored tobacco, including menthol, this summer specifically for this reason.
