I think they should ban weed lots of kids are getting that! O wait it already is well darn it, I guess these silly regulations dont work so well.
This.
On the other hand, we do not see ANY governmental agency crying out loud for a ban on tobacco cigarettes if/when an irresponsible vendor happens to be caught selling tobacco to minors. (The kind of vendor who used to sell me tobacco, when I started at the age of fifteen).
When that happens, the vendor is to blame, not tobacco itself...! And we do not see any real effort to ban tobacco (remember the flavoured tobacco ban in the US? With the very convenient menthol exception??) because, of course, governments get an hefty profit from tobacco taxes. Not just income, but actually profit.
When the very same problem occurs with the electronic cigarette (a competitor of tobacco cigarettes), it suddenly appears that vendors cannot be held to account anymore. Apparently, the e-cig is an insidious, terrible product that seems to be able to sell itself to little children and toddlers, and therefore must be banned !!
I don't know, people in general seem to have lost any thinking or logic skills. I say this not as any kind of offense, but only by stating the simple fact that most of them are so gullible as to believe most of the crappy arguments and junk-science the ANTZ's feeds them almost everyday...!

Okay one sec... I'm 18 and my girlfriend is 17. We have both smoked since we have been 13 but I decided that I like vaping a lot better. We went into a B&M and without being IDed we were allowed to test nic filled juices and purchase them without being carded. Now I am of legal age but not once were we carded. So this is a thing indeed.

I'm emailing my Insurance Rep for my existing plan information. As of last year, there was no clause in the mix for any anti-smoking, e-cig, lozenge, gum, etc... forms of nicotine replacement/treatment. With Obamacare in the mix for those of us within the U.S.A, I'm curious to see what they come back with. Until then...Vape on.
""The concept of vapingis one of concern," said Mohammed Al-hamdani, manager of health initiatives with Lung Association Nova Scotia. "It's a renormalization of smoking behavior."
He said people, especially children, might not be able to differentiate between real cigarettes and electronic ones."

One pretty young thing at the juice test station asked me what I liked vaping. In a senior moment, I asked her what she smoked. She said she was too young to buy cigarettes (here the age is 18), didn't, and had no intention of ever smoking. She liked the taste of the ecigs that her fellow high school classmates were using and that it was so cool.
CASAA and I believe most vapers, support age requirements for buying e-liquid with nicotine. A long time kiosk vendor I talked to stated he cards anyone who looks younger than 30.
But, he presented me with an interesting dilemma. He has parents asking him to sell them a kit for their 16 & 17 year old children who smoke so the kids can break their smoking habit. Is this any different than selling the nicotine patch, gum, inhaler, etc to a parent for their under-age smoking child? I can definitely understand the parents wanting to try anything to get their kids off analogs.
On the surface, under-age vaping would look like a "black & white" issue. But there are always wrinkles that we don't always consider.
(the example of the kid just wanting to be cool, well, I hope those situations are few because they are not good for the community)
I think they should ban ...... lots of kids are getting that! O wait it already is well darn it, I guess these silly regulations dont work so well.
