Bright colors absolutely does count, but so do candy-like flavors. We've actually seen similar issues with cannabis edibles, selling the oil or butter is fine but selling cannacandy or brownies causes a big uptick in teen use and the health effects of heavy cannabis use during puberty aren't well understood yet (mostly because America is a fucking asshole).
So I can't enjoy a candy taste as an adult? Just because children like it?
Yeah, me too. But I think the point was about ads, not usage.
No, you can, but for a dangerous product like this it'd be more responsible for the company to sell the flavoring in a separate package that can be mixed with the actual vape juice and let consumers combine them.
With nicotine in particular, that would be a fatal idea. It doesn't take much nicotine at all to kill a human, and it absorbs through your skin, so.... Yeah. Pure nicotine shouldn't be sold to just anyone.
Banning candy and such flavors was provably effective at reducing youth smoking rates in many studies, even knowing that other flavored tobacco/nicotine products were still available to absorb some of that demand. There's no reason to think vaping would be different.
And banning walking I'm sure would lead to fewer falls

Only kids like candy. Got it
