> I'll never understand why lawmakers think that fruit and other flavorings for tobacco are aimed at getting kids hooked. Do you have kids? They love what their friends have, and really really like candy flavors.

Yes, but adults also really like candy flavors. Should we no longer be permitted by the state to drink mojitos or Moscow mules because they also happen to be delicious? You also did not provide a response to the text you quoted. Why does having kids, or knowing that they like candy flavors, mean that all flavored things are aimed at children?

  > mojitos or Moscow mules When kids start demanding moscow mules, I'll give them a free copper cup.

    And take it away when they want cotton candy flavored gin.

    Moscow Mule premixed bottles were one of the first alcopops in the UK

I'm an adult and I also really like candy. I have no interest in tobacco or nicotine, but I've considered getting tasty non-nicotine vape flavors because a zero-calorie alternative to actual candy might help in much the same way that non-tobacco vaping is a healthier alternative to smoking.

  Forgive me for taking this rabbit trail to the limit...I also love candy...and a couple years ago I stop eating it entirely and switched to hot tea. For $0.10 you can have endless flavors, real health benefits, and as much as you want. Anyway...cheers. :)

    Just an FYI in case people don't know, tea often has plenty of caffeine in it, and many tisanes/blends/etc will have sugar in them as well. So if you're trying to avoid caffeine or sugar you need to be careful when choosing your teas.
