Illegal in FL for Minors to posess Ecigs.

[The Cromwell]

Just a PSA for those unaware of the FL law.

And that includes zero nic. It is illegal for them to posess any nicotine delivery device.
So Under 18 in FL and vaping?
The cops can take your vape gear.

Stupid liberal crap. If their parents are aware it should suffice for anyone over 15. IMHO

But FL is not a liberal state....

While that may be true, we both know plenty of so called conservatives who support liberal beliefs when it suits them.

Also, you may not think of Florida as a liberal state but many of the major cities have a large liberal base.

I am sure they justify this nonsense by saying they are protecting children but all it will really do is push them to smoke cigarettes as there is nothing lost if the cigarettes get confiscated.

All very true. No disagreement from me on any of that.

Does this law include cigarettes? Basically forcing kids to smoke if they want to enjoy Nicotine... They are freaking MONSTERS if that is so...

I believe it includes all "tobacco products".

And even though all states restrict sales of "tobacco products" to adults only, few have penalties for minors possessing them it seems.

A difficult line to follow for me.
I am against minors either smoking or vaping however I would prefer that they vape as opposed to smoke.
And if the cops take your cigs you just get another pack a bit sooner. However if they take your $50+ vape setup. It seems to me that this would discourage minors from vaping and to smoke instead.

Damn humans and their knee jerk laws.
