Interesting, what evidence is there that people switch from e-cigarettes to tobacco? I hadn’t heard of that before.
Every single person I've known who switched from tobacco to e-cigarettes has switched back to tobacco. They all say it's better for one reason or another.

#23It is already known that E-Cigarettes cause lung damage: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-preventi... On the rare occasions of exposure by a user exhaling in public next to me I found it worse than passively inhaling cigarette smoke.

The candy flavors were marketed to children.
Who is 99 banana's and maddog 20/20 marketed to?
Also the cultural aspect is just different. It is generally harder for kids to get alcohol in my experience and also you (usually) don’t carry a bottle of 99 bananas and swig it every few minutes out in public.
Perhaps most importantly is that alcohol doesn’t contain nicotine. People get addicted to alcohol but not in the same way people get addicted to nicotine.

Do you mean why vapes aren't allowed to be sold in exciting flavours in a lot of countries? Because what happened there was that 'strawberry kiwi', 'banana ice', and 'miami mint', and whatever fruity flavour in a colourful package you can come up with, turned vaping from something adults did to quit smoking tobacco into the biggest hype amongst teenagers since fidget spinners. Only they get addicted to nicotine as a…

#26That said, tons of other vapes are allowed on the market, so why should Juul specifically be banned?

#27Let me preface by saying that I'm not a fan of the evolution of e-cigs since they ended up being more of an entry point than a transition out of nicotine. Probably half of my friends started by vaping and moved to cigarettes. That said, tons of other vapes are allowed on the market, so why should Juul specifically be banned?

#28> ~ Original and Menthol I'll never understand why adults partaking in a particular vice can't enjoy different flavours (unless the vice is alcohol).

I don't think vape kids are ever switching to tobacco - that doesn't fit the model that they want at all: its an electronic device that delivers a stimulant.
Why is alcohol something that's okay to market to kids? (The new supergirl is a drunk party girl). Isn't alcohol much more harmful?

#29I'm sure loosening restrictions is all part of the Make America Healthy Again plan, right?
Restrictions placed by govt is not a part of MAHA, and is anti MAGA.
Why do you think we have tariffs?
Re: FDA Authorizes Juul E-Cigarettes
#30Tobacco products are insanely harmful.
Alcohol kills hundreds of thousands a year in the US.
But heaven forbid you flavor your nicotine.
What is the actual criteria for FDA approval?
