    This article is total bullshit.

    It claims at one point that vapes are being marketed as “nicotine-free” “despite containing nicotine” and then links to another article on their own site that makes the claim that vapes marketed as “nicotine-free” “most likely still contain nicotine” to support that assertion.

    This definitely doesn’t belong in a science community.

        Yeah they even included the fearmongering tropes about colorful packaging and stores being near schools.

          “They clearly are marketing directly to children!”

          Bitch, I better never see you eating a piece of candy again in your life.

          Raisin bran and black coffee only for you for the rest of your life, since according to you a) adults aren’t allowed to like tasty things and b) noone is allowed to ingest something unhealthy.

          Fuck, there is a strong argument that the cotton candy is worse for you than the cotton candy vape juice (provided its an actual non-black-market well made vape juice, and not the shit the Chinese black market has been spreading that is full of heavy metals).

            Raisin Bran has more sugar than many “kids” breakfast cereals, so it’s even more hypocritical.
