Just restrict them to over 21s with ID needed. No need to ban them completely. Then responsible adults can enjoy vaping (as I do) without kids getting hooked.

Apparently there's people here who don't believe adults are entitled to make such decisions for themselves. At least the authoritarians eventually reveal themselves.
