It is a sad state of affairs when the Chinese scientist invented the electronic cigarette because his father was dying of lung cancer, is now for teens to use, as if it is a sweet.
Flavoured sweet vapes should be completely banned as OP said.

Another gripe of mine are the pop alcohols, very sweet flavored drinks which hide a low alcohol content, just to get teens use to drinking alcohol and hooked.

DS giving teen GC and friends a lift when a vape fell out of friends pocket. Having a quick look at what's available it seems to me that a lot if these flavours are aimed at the teen market. A lot have a high nicotine content which we know is highly addictive and attractive flavours - strawberry, fruit etc. When these were first introduced they were sold as aid to give up smoking but they have surely evolved into something else. Market to kids, get them addicted and you have a customer for life. They are not without risk, must be time for legislation to catch up? Sell them unflavoured, plain packaging etc
