Ohio Gov. DeWine considering ban on flavored e-cigarettes

7. I 100% agree ... that would be optimal.

A point which has nothing to do with whether there are 'non-tobacco flavored' e-juices.

When I first went to the vape shop some 6 years back, the vape shops offered samples of their flavors to be used in the shop. That's not legal anymore, at least not in AZ, but anyways, I tried 3 different juices that supposedly were 'tobacco flavor' and they were all TERRIBLE. They do NOT even remotely imitate the flavor of smoking.

I walked out with a fruit-flavored mixture with some menthol added in (since I smoked menthols). If all there WAS was those first 3 I tried? I'd probably still be smoking cigs.

People should be perfectly free to choose to switch from cigarettes to vaping WITHOUT having any intention to ever quit vaping. If you switch 100% to vaping, you have successfully achieved 'smoking cessation'. You no longer smoke.

There's no proof (as yet) that vaping causes any harm apart from addiction to nicotine. Just like Nicorette, IOW.

By the way, how come Nicorette doesn't even come in tobacco flavor, period?

Minors are already disallowed from buying vaping products just like they're disallowed from buying cigarettes. That's as far as we go with cigarettes, why do we need MORE regs ... for something that's almost certain to be FAR less dangerous?

Also, can someone explain to me why every store is STOCKED TOP TO BOTTOM with FRUITY, KID FRIENDLY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, and nobody says SHIT?
