(579 posts)You need about $100 to start seriously vaping. I don't think anyone has a problem keeping ecigs/vapes out of the hands of kids under 18.
Their logic is assailable. Kids have/will smoke cigarettes. They always have since the dawn of cigarettes. They'll smoke weed, they'll have sex, they'll drink, etc and so on and so forth.
They can't do any one of those things without some adult somewhere failing. It's up to adults to stop kids from doing stupid shit. If a kid is doing something that's meant for adults, some adult somewhere failed.
This whole "what about the children" argument is an appeal to emotion, it's a bullshit illogical argument. Ecigs/vapes not only work to help smokers of analog tobacco cigarettes quit and eliminate smoking one day, but science shows thus far, they pose far less than 1% of the danger analog cigarettes pose, if not completely eliminate it. Matter of fact, the debate rages on, I assert that they CAN pose zero danger to anyone, vaper, or "second hand" vapers.
This war against ecigs is ridiculous and it amounts to the anti's losing control over whipping the dirty no-good smokers into submission for their nasty habit (according to them). If anybody wants to eliminate smoking tobacco forever and replace it with something that works for "smokers", and causes no harm to anyone, they should be completely be in favor of ecigs/vapes.
