>I'll never understand why lawmakers think that fruit and other flavorings for tobacco are aimed at getting kids hooked. It's almost like they think no adult has ever enjoyed fruit or candy, and that making teens smoke plain cigarettes will keep them from being rebellious. I can think of a dozen people off the top of my head that regularly smoke but say "it's not smoking, it's just hookah, it's a social thing". I guarantee you, if there weren't hookah bars and instead were "cheap-cigarette bars" exactly none of them would smoke. Then with 'e-cigarettes' you have flavours like 'blueberry pie' 'brownies' 'waffles' pretty much anything you could ever want. You're going to sit there and tell me you don't think if a minor gets their hands on one will be like "oh man, this grape jolly rancher flavor is awesome, but I think there is nicotine in it so I must never ever ever touch it again"? I was watching something on Hulu or Netflix this weekend that was high school aged characters and there were kids puffing away on liquid nicotine rigs in the background of multiple scenes.
