    It may be two pronged.
    “For the children” is a classic “you sure you want to block this legislation, mate?” move.
    And the big tabacco companies have been rapidly pivoting to target vaping at children (to set up lifetime consumers), since we’ve made amazing headway reducing smoking.

      Yeah there is definitely a problem with big tobacco taking advantage of children. This looks like a proper legislation that I stand for. However, it’s hard to not be skeptical as “for the children” is usually for malicious intents.

        Sometimes you have to play the game to win, even if the game is not something you want in the first place.
