And obviously they want to minimize negatively advertising themselves, thats what companies do. You can only expect them to sabotage their sales so far. But I have seen no evidence that they are purposefully marketing to kids. It'd be pretty dumb to seeing all the trouble and negative attention even the whiff of being accused of doing so is bringing. Hollywood even these days when they are selfconscious about it is still probably doing more to promote the image of smoking. Heck when's the last time you've even seen an add for regular cigs period?
If you think smoking should be outlawed go ahead and outlaw smoking. Otherwise how much further do you expect the companies to go? Wire their packs to give people electric shocks?

- notimetorelax 7y agoEach generation has its own beliefs. It’s possible manipulate or instill different set of beliefs, especially when it’s about a younger generation. So, claiming that everyone knows something is generally a false statement.
- kennywinker 7y agoMost vapers i’ve talked to believe they’re doing something that’s bad for them... but not VERY bad for them.
- woodruffw 7y ago> Anybody dumb enough to still think cigarettes are good for you these days can't be helped. Nobody under the age of 45 (in the US) thinks that cigarettes are good for their health. The problem isn't people thinking that they're good, but massively underestimating how bad they are.
- ng12 7y agoFlavored cigarettes are banned on the presumption that they disproportionately appeal to kids. Why would flavored vaporizers be treated differently?
- Pinckney 7y agoRegardless of whether or not they should be treated differently, the regulations as they stand now do treat them differently. If you don't like that, the solution is to change that, not to creatively interpret "wire fraud" to mean anything a jury decides is bad.
