Please don't be snarky.

There is snark almost every story comment section. And derision and sarcasm and mockery. How is this comment so much worse that it uniquely deserves a rebuke?

This comment is really quite mild actually. Certainly not worthy of a moderator stepping up.

How is it designed to appeal towards kids? It's just good design that's dirt simple and works. If you look at their previous product, the pax, it's right in line with their design language and philosophy.

The flavored nicotine is the part that's intended to hook kids, and as I already mentioned, the advertising was pretty blatantly targeted at kids.

You know what's less conspicuous than a vape pen hooked into your computer in class? A pack of smokes and a lighter in your pocket. I dont see the allure to children... College kids, maybe.

Also, when did non-college-age children get allowed laptops in class? We werent even allowed to have a cell phone on our person during school hours, let alone a laptop.

Except the smell of having smoked cigarettes lingers on your person and when you waltz back into the room with that bathroom pass the teacher goes "How was your smoke break, I mean, bathroom trip". and your green apple jolly rancher vape smells like, a green apple jolly rancher.
