    Especially when one considers what the typical Republican politician is actually thinking about when thinking about children.

      Yeah, my best example of that is the flavored vape argument.

      Sure kids like flavors other than tobacco or menthol, but so do adults. With their logic, we should ban flavored alcohol too.

      Just as an aside, I’ve been involved in the industry for 15 years and I read every study released regarding it (everything from the US has seriously flawed methodology to intentionally produce bad results). The current popularity of disposable vapes is because of the ‘think of the children’ argument.

        Haha, that’s a great example, but I was just trying insinuate that they’re all pedophiles. (It’s an unfair generalization, since it seems that only about 1/3rd of them are.)
