Yes they are. Protecting children was not only a lie but their main trust for passing the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. The idea was that flavor, other then menthol (mint), was only there to hook kids. The only reason menthol was excluded was due to tobacco company involvement in drafting the bill.
