“Suffer the little children: When they’re not busy organizing rainbow parties, butt-chugging beer, home-brewing jenkem (look it up, preferably on an empty stomach), or dropping LSD and staring into the sun until they go blind, they are devising far-more pedestrian ways to freak out their parents.

The latest social panic related to the kids these days involves them – wait for it – experimenting with a safer alternative to smoking tobacco. What kind of monsters are we raising, exactly?”

“Indeed, the only troubling sign surrounding e-cigarettes is not that they are gaining in popularity, but the insane – and scientifically unsound – push to ban or tightly regulate their use. As Boston University’s Seigel notes, many anti-smoking activists “oppose these products because they are blinded by ideology: they find it difficult, if not impossible, to endorse a behavior that looks like smoking, even though it is literally saving people’s lives.” That sort of blinkered attitude among prohibitionists – not Junior’s curiosity about vaping – is what’s worthy of concern.”
