Up here in Canada there have been rumors of a ban on all flavors but for mint and tobacco, justified by the same old "won't someone think of the children" mentality.

Meanwhile, I can meander into the LCBO and find cotton candy flavored vodka, peanut butter flavored whiskey, and all kinds of similar liquors. Interestingly, you can only buy liquor at LCBO here in Ontario, and those stores are owned and operated by the provincial government.

Rather than cracking down on the industry as a whole and banning flavors so that everyone suffers, the government should rigorously inspect vape shops and any caught selling to under-19s should be heavily fined on a first offense and lose their business license on a second offense.
