BS this is a free country, no one forces anyone to smoke. The fact of the matter is if they are old enough to buy cigarettes they can legally buy whatever kind they choose.

If you get rid of flavored smokes then they'll just smoke regulars. A person that wants to smoke will do so.

Teens are lighting them up — and, consequently, lawmakers are trying to ban them.

This is for parents to deal with, not lawmakers.
