These companies target kids because they know that they are the most vulnerable. If we, meaning government, don't stop them then we have another epidemic to clean up later.
All these companies see are dollar signs and are just looking for something to replace cigarette revenues that have been shrinking in the US for years.
Now is the time to stop vaping before it gets too big to control.
I don't like to compare it to the opioid epidemic but those companies were greedy also and should have been stopped years ago. Instead they were left to promote and push huge quantities of pills just to line their pockets.
Now we are left to clean up a huge mess that never should have happened.
Just think of all the man hours of police, fire, and health care providers that have gone towards battling this epidemic that could have been better served in some other capacity.

"Vaping" itself isn't the problem. It's additives such as THC and Vitamin E, which causes lung injury and death.

"But mounting evidence of the public-health consequences from regular marijuana use, especially among children and expectant mothers, should give politicians pause. Studies show that regular use of THC affects memory, executive function and psychological well-being. The recent lung injuries and deaths confirm the market has become a Wild West of potent and shadowy products. THC is currently illegal under federal law
