Yes. They are addictive. And yes, getting children addicted is bad. And yes, they should not have to be responsible for themselves when they are so young.
I don’t disagree with any of your points.
Fact is: vaping, and even cigarettes, are not, and never were, the problem. No fancy flavouring is to blame here. There are already laws in place that prohibit people under a certain age (varies by jurisdiction), from buying tobacco/nicotine/vape products.
Laws themselves don’t do anything. This is not a problem of seeing forth the rules. The problem is twofold in my opinion:
First, enforcement. There’s already so little oversight of tobacco restrictions. Company’s rarely get checked to see if they’re serving to underaged people. When they do the fine is tiny compared to what they stand to earn by just, ignoring the rules, and selling to anyone who has the cash.
Second, the tobacco industry itself. As far as I can see, the tobacco industry lobbied hard against vaping when it was largely small shops and companies making the vast majority of the products being sold. Almost all of the scrutiny went away when large tobacco companies started buying up the vape companies. Remember juul? Yeah, currently owned by Altria, which was formerly known as Philip Morris. If you’re unfamiliar, they started out as a tobacco brand. Guess what they’re still heavily invested into…
The whole Anti vaping movement, proposed laws, pretty much everything about it, entirely stoked by tobacco companies. At first they just wanted to keep people smoking, but when they couldn’t make vaping go away, they just bought up most of the major vape brands and took it over, which is around the same time the anti vaping thing finally calmed down.
It’s all corruption, all the way down.
The only thing that’s accomplished by imposing further restrictions on vaping is harming law abiding citizens who are looking for an alternative to traditional cigarettes for their nicotine fix. Anything else is just posturing and smoke screen. The laws exist already to prohibit use of these products by minors. If you want to stop youth vaping, all we really need is enforcement of the laws we already have.
