My point exactly, the flavors are not the problem. A lot of states have banned them yet the problem persists, because it was never about the flavors. It's 100% a social thing IMO, online glorification and peer pressure.

Not peer pressure like how its depicted in the media, but real peer pressure. Your friends vape, and they're always vaping around you -- then one day you get a little curious about it and it snowballs from there.
