The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday said it was banning the sale of Reynolds American Vuse Alto menthol e-cigarettes, saying the risk to kids outweighs any benefit to adult smokers.

The FDA said its ban includes three menthol-flavored and three mixed berry-flavored products, each offered in three different nicotine strengths. The agency is continuing to weigh whether to let the company’s tobacco flavors stay on the market.

      I assume you support the temperance movement as well. As others have said, there are no limits on candy flavored alcohol. Alcohol has a much more detrimental affect on society than nicotine. As far as I can tell, most of the regulations surrounding tobacco only serve to entrench and strengthen the international Tobacco companies by removing any chance for competitive markets.
