E-Cig CEO: Flavors Are for Kids

“Logic?” How about “Ironic”


As if we didn’t have enough to worry about, now it would seem we’re being undermined by some of the same people who make our e-cigarettes.

An article from Consumer Affairs looks at the FDA’s efforts to regulate cigarettes, and the support they’re getting from manufacturers like Logic Technology, makers of the Logic Platinum cig-alike.  Disturbingly, not only does Logic CEO Eli Alelov call for FDA regulation of the e-cigarette industry, but he uses some of the same ridiculous, baseless justifications used by e-cigarette opponents.



“He says the wide variety of fruit flavored e-cigarettes offered by other companies don’t appeal to people who smoke cigarettes, but instead appeal to young people who don’t smoke.”



This isn’t your typical anti-tobacco zealot saying this; this is the CEO of an e-cigarette company.  Logic only sells tobacco and menthol flavors, so apparently they’ve got nothing to lose by supporting this laughable claim, but the last thing people fighting for our rights need is one of our vendors legitimizing garbage like this, and the idea that adults aren’t interested in anything but the taste of an ashtray.  It’s ridiculous, it’s harmful, and it’s shameful.

  1. Nicotine free electronic cigarette mark only grown person smokers, so they compared to tobacco smoke only, appraise that electronic cigarettes are hundreds of times less harmful than tobacco cigarettes.Electronic Cigarette Wholesaler
