I appreciate that. There may be truth in wine but there sure aren't any flood gates either; what comes out may not be cohesive![/QUOT
Big tobacco will find a way to manipulate everyone's complaints into something that they can benefit from due to the pending overregulation that we all know will come sooner or later. We've put a massive hit on big tobacco and they still can't get their little cigalikes to really take off. Since they can't do that, and big pharma is feeling effects already of vapers not needing medical attention due to smoking, they will find any reason to make vaping seem like its the worst thing in the world so it becomes so overregulated that it's not even worth having a b&m. They can't control the internet so there will always be ways for us to get what we want, but it'll put a huge hit on vaping's progress at wiping out big tobacco.
Mind you, I have absolutely no problem with the smaller tobacco companies who aren't mass producing insanely addictive, poisonous cancer sticks. There are a lot of different cigars that aren't loaded with big tobacco's poison cocktail, and even companies like Natural American Spirit, who I'd consider a smallish-medium sized manufacturer of a tobacco cig that is additive free. Smoking has been around for thousands of years, it's a 'tradition' of humanity... however, big tobacco can disappear tomorrow and I wouldn't care.
I know I'm off on every tangent there is, but I think that this 'marketing to kids' whining and bitching is purely that and nothing more - people with nothing better to do than nitpick at the \very thing that may have saved their lives. Why can't you appreciate the fact that the industry has gone in a direction that attracts and converts even the most dedicated stinky suckers? why cant you appreciate the fact that teens in school who started regularly smoking poison sticks have tried vaping and fully converted to it? It's my own personal opinion that if a teen "kid" is going to inhale nicotine, I'd much rather them consume it via a vapor device rather than kill themselves with big tobacco's death sticks. To further prove my point regarding how our flavors are marketed - there were statistics released recently that said the number of teen smokers of school ages are very rapidly decreasing. An interview was done in one school where teens were observed vaping. These kids told the interviewers that they smoked regular cigs but they tried vaping and fully switched over to it because its the cool thing to do now, because they didn't want to stink, and because it doesn't have the negative effects on your health nearly as much as cigarettes. Some of these students were just your normal everyday kids, others were into sports and didn't want their performance to be affected by cigarettes anymore, and even others vape because girls didn't like their smokeless tobacco.
So tell me, are we really so wrong for having such awesome fucking flavors? Should we really give a shit if there's a cute little rabbit and rainbows on a bottle of trix flavored juice? Besides, who's the ignorant asshole who decided that the age of 18 is okay to buy guns, go to war, and legally purchase death sticks containing up to 7000 chemicals, but can't drink alcohol until 21? What's so special about the age of 18? Why not 15, 16, or 17? It's 2015, society has changed, people's parenting and discipline skills fucking suck by a vast majority, people of our own population, some of whom cannot help their situation, and even veterans are living in streets and suffering from medical conditions because they can't get into doctors and hospitals soon enough, yet we are nitpicking over a juice label. Embarrassing and pathetic.
Unfortunately the masses are one level above cattle, their stupidity allows the elite to manipulate their lizard brain's rage reflexes as easily as dialing the radio...to appeal to their reason and logic is futile they don't possses them....they ENJOY their slavery they are gratefull slaves they thank bigg daddy for looking out for their childeren....at least until they get old enough for big daddy to send them to big daddys war.That being said the douchebags who go around with these kiddy labels know exactlly what they are doing...madison avenue has proven that.....these guys are in fact targeting kids..not 18 year old kids, they are targeting 14,15, year old kids.....and they should be called out for it.....because as much as we may not like it the political class will use it as fodder against us and the masses will start moooooooing about their poor little calves.
