But I've never seen the ads. I've also never seen a store anywhere sell an ecig to a minor. All of them keep them behind the counters, with signs that say "Must Be 18 To Purchase". Even the websites that sell them require the purchaser to be 18.

Adults like candy flavors, too. It's not a kid-specific thing. The article itself mentioned "celebrities" in the ads. I've seen Stephen Dorff and Jenny McCarthy. You know, those two hip, teen idols. Oh wait, they're not.
