In Europe we have banned flavours from cigarettes because we know it attracts young people to smoking ... Cigarettes should taste like cigarettes not like candy. E-cigarettes taste like candy and, frequently, we see in small shops where they are sold, e-cigarettes on one side and candy on the other. Of course it attracts children.
