New, disposable vaping bars not covered by flavor bans.

I heard this vaping device referred to as a "bar" - as in candy bar...or ice cream bar, because of its short, flattish, stick-like appearance.

From "The Legal Circumvention Department" files:

Market Watch: Young people have moved on to a new kind of vape not covered by the flavor ban: disposables.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. government on Thursday began enforcing restrictions on flavored electronic cigarettes aimed at curbing underage vaping. But some teenagers may be one step ahead of the rules.

Parents, researchers and students warn that some young people have already moved on to a newer kind of vape that isn’t covered by the flavor ban.

These disposable e-cigarettes are sold under brands like Puff Bar, Stig and Fogg in flavors such as pink lemonade, blueberry ice and tropical mango.

Critics of the FDA policy fear teens will simply switch to the cheaper disposables, which are widely available at convenience stores and gas stations.

“They are very accessible and seem to be the new buzzy product,” said Dr. Karen Wilson, a tobacco researcher and pediatrician at Mount Sinai’s medical school in New York.

The FDA confirmed that the flavor restriction won’t apply to “self-contained, disposable products,” but only to rechargeable ones that use pods or cartridges prefilled with a nicotine solution.

A "buzzy product." I can't stop laughing at that.

Well, you HAVE TO BE a certain age to LEGALLY purchase tobacco and all its related products. How are those under-age obtaining these products? THAT is such a mystery. It must be like all the criminals who pass background checks on the guns they legally purchase. Because, there's no other way to obtain anything other than legally, is there?

It's Light Up Time!

My life would be markedly improved if people would deliver cigarettes to me from walking out of the television.

I'm sure most everyone has seen Fred and Barney with their Winstons.

And all the doctors, dentists, nurses, entertainers, ex-president and others who all advocating smoking.

Doctors are never wrong.

The text in the three squares above, surrounding the doctor, say starting at "noon" and going clockwise:

Family doctors, surgeons, nose and throat specialists...doctors in every branch of medicine were asked: "What cigarette do you smoke?"

Three nationally known independent research groups did the asking.

The answers came in by the thousands. Actual statements from doctors themselves. The results? Camels...convincingly.


So...how's your T-Zone?

Toasted for your throat protection. See, it turns out the tobacco industry was looking after our health all along.

 

Doctors are never wrong.

Perry Como smokes? I need no other reason to start.

 

Science is never wrong.

Not ONE SINGLE CASE of throat irritation!

Here's a composite of three separate ads. Babies used to sell Marlboros? Heh - I can only hear the anti-smoking banshees cringing in agony over using a baby to peddle cigarettes. And Fatima cigarettes? Never heard of them.

"Mom, calm down and have a cigarette. I'll have one, too."

 

Science is never wrong.

Dentists are never wrong.

This ad is so low key, and the music so trance-inducing, I swear it was a hypnotic ad that, once seen, caused you to rush out and buy Lucky Strikes:

You must feel like starting smoking right now, even if you've never smoked. No? Will these dancing cigarette packages change your mind?

Now...you want to talk about niche marketing? I'd never heard of this brand.

NOT a REAL Country:

Scientists and EDUCATORS seem to agree that Kent is the brand to smoke:

The Micronite Filter - Heh...It was probably asbestos.

Even Granny and Jed lit up:

You cannot enjoy water-skiing without a cigarette. Ever:

It's Light Up Time...it's...Toasted...
