As a vaping community one of the strongest arguments we hear against vaping is that kids might start doing it, thus leading to cigarettes and then *** then h*roin and...well you get the picture.
So I ask, do we have a responsibility to reject the candy flavored e-liquids? This would include cereals like fruity pebbles and similar flavors. We all know the difference between a candy flavor and a non-candy flavor.
Personally I do not enjoy the candy flavors. I tried a fruity pebbles flavor once and almost gagged. Maybe I'm old enough that those flavors are no longer suitable to my palate.
Yet kids are more likely to be interested in a candy flavored vape than a custard style, and I can legitimately see the reasoning behind the concern. Kids want to be cool. They like the candy flavors and if they can vape it then it makes them look even cooler. Maybe they share it with their friends and become more popular due to being so "edgy." Other kids try to be like the edgy kid and the next thing you know there is a group of 14 year-olds who are vaping.
We're all adults here. Should we be rejecting these flavors in order to 1) prevent kids from vaping and 2) eliminate this argument from the anti-vaping community's arsenal?
