Earthling789 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Unfortunately, it's not just NC schools... it's ALL of them! First of all... I'm all for preventing sales to minors, but just like analogs, if they want them, they WILL get them. But, branding them as "paraphernalia" only serves the agenda of our government and those special-interest groups (** cough ** big tobacco ** cough **) who want to see e-cigs outlawed or under their control. Using the schools to set the agenda of e-cigs = drug use, however far-fetched it may be... only works in their favor. All this is, is a means to an end, using the typical liberal/progressive stage-prop... "for the children"... to garner public out-cry and support for banning, regulation, and control.
