I can agree, that seems suspicious.

this is more along the lines of what I expected, and I strongly object to this argument for two reasons. the first is just that, as an adult, I don't accept that I should be prohibited from buying something that tastes good to me just because a child might also enjoy the flavor. the second is that having vape flavors that actually taste good makes it a much more effective harm reduction tool; after a giving it a chance, many smokers actually end up preferring the experience of vaping. if you ban all the good flavors, a good chunk of these people are just going to switch back to smoking.
also, I notice there are a lot of people that support the flavored cigarette ban of the 90s and are now railing against vape flavors. I never hear these people complain about sweet, fruity liquors. if strawberry vape juice is targeting children, who is strawberry vodka for? do we also need to think about banning sweet wines?
