Yeah it's wild to me that the ban wasn't a blanket "no product may be sold containing both nicotine in psychoactive doses and pleasant flavorings other than menthol or those found naturally in tobacco or intended to recreate the flavor of tobacco may be sold". Like they could've killed those gross flavored swishers that exist solely for making blunts while they were at it.

Like, I don't mind a "buy a flavor bottle and it has room for you to mix in a bottle of one of the various concentrations of unflavored nicotine sold right next to it" situation, but that level of inconvenience is good. It always forces you to choose your dose and means that when kids get ahold of the stuff it's easier for them to get ahold of the nonaddictive version. What we have now is a bunch of e waste that also ensures that there's a lot of access to nicotine for children.

I ain't in favor of vice policing. You want to vape, go for it. You'd find a way regardless. But we can make the more environmentally destructive ways to do it the hardest and most expensive.
