I'll never understand why lawmakers think that fruit and other flavorings for tobacco are aimed at getting kids hooked. It's almost like they think no adult has ever enjoyed fruit or candy, and that making teens smoke plain cigarettes will keep them from being rebellious. I've tried almost every variation of ecigarette mod out there except mechanical mods, because I'm not an idiot enough to know I'm too much of an id…
But e-cigs are banned?
That's messed up. If you're going to protect people's health (at the expense of some freedom) be consistent about it.
This is perverse given that tobacco cigarettes are still widely available. I can't remember the last time I was actually satisfied with a decision from the Board of Supervisors.

How are they sold? In Australia they have the gory death warnings, are sold in cabinets with no logos (just a plain font list of brand names) and are ridiculously expensive $40 for 20. Cigars might be an exception(?)
All the price raising on tobacco has done is push revenue into the black market, invent crimes from nothing and turn otherwise honest people into criminals.

If they think banning is a solution to vaping and it’ll be successful, why not ban syringes —I’m sure they’re equally effective.

While I don't live in SF or even CA, I'll try to offer an explanation of why this might make sense based on what I've observed. I'm 29, which puts me sort of at the intersection of two age groups right now. I'm starting to be able to connect with older folks, and I can still connect with younger 20somethings. Nobody I know under 25 smokes cigarettes. Anecdotally, cigarettes in that age group are nearly universally ab…

SF is completely fucked from a priorities standpoint. Really glad I no longer live anywhere near there.
Pretty ironic given the same day Juul buys[1] 123 Mission for approx 400 million dollars. [1]: https://sfist.com/2019/06/18/juul-just-bought-a-28-story-som...
Woot! This is NCC Group’s office. Are they getting kicked out?

Earlier quoted context omitted.
Adults like flavored nicotine too, but have you seen the ads? They're blatantly targeted at kids. Hell, I saw one once that showed a vape plugged into the USB port of a kid's laptop in class, where the advertising was basically saying your teacher won't know it's a vape.
I think you may have been tricked, I'm pretty sure there's no official Juul ad like that
