> Flavours are a major reason why youth begin to vape. We need to ban e-cigarette flavours other than tobacco flavour and we’re urging the federal government to finalize the June 2021 draft regulation as soon as possible. I'm struggling to understand this position. I think he's saying that people (teens in particular) won't get addicted to vaping if tobacco is the only flavor available, because it's not as pleasant as the other flavors on offer today. But, there is a proven market for a nicotine delivery device that tastes like tobacco: we call them cigarettes, and teenagers have been into them for a hundred years and counting. If the reply is that it's better for them to get addicted to vaping, because vaping is safer than cigarettes, I agree. But then what is this debate about? I guess the idea is that there would be some difference between the number of people who would be willing to start vaping tobacco vs. smoking tobacco, and this is our margin of success. To me it seems like it wouldn't be a huge number. I dunno, I think vaping is gross and kind of funny, but it's helped decrease the number of college students who already have smoker's coughs, so I say we sell bubblegum vape juice to minors and take the win.
