First Lady Melania Trump took aim at e-cigarettes Monday, raising the possibility that they might be “an on-ramp” to nicotine addiction for kids.

Trump said she is “deeply concerned about the growing epidemic of e-cigarette use in our children” as the number of people diagnosed with lung illnesses that could be linked to vaping continues to rise.

I have never smoked but I heard something weird on America's First News radio today. A study on e-cigs came out with a litany of problems. But the last note was weird. It strongly recommended that NON-smokers should not start using e-cigs.

I thought e-cigs were an alternative for smokers. Why in the hell would a non smoker start smoking e-cigs?

Because they smell like warm caramel, not ash-tray.

Just a few years ago teen smoking was at 5%, now teen vaping is at 30%.

The First Lady is probably on to something here.

The issue here is kids. Leave adults out of this.

Probably for the same reasons a non smoker would’ve taken up smoking cigarettes.

Is it legal for kids to buy e-cigs?

I have no problem with educating people about the dangers, age limiting it like regular cigs, or putting a warning label on it. Not interested in any more than that.

People like Hank have some weird obsession with their conservative virtue signaling. Does anyone think Melania was holding herself out as some conservative before this?

Agreed, but stay out of my pocket when they have medical bills from such poor life choices
