    Forgot how Pro-drug the fediverse is as well; vapes should be regulated as heavily as cigarettes and other tobacco products. Just because it’s less harmful doesn’t mean it’s not harmful.

      Vaping should be limited to 18+ consumers just like “standard” nicotine products. But we shouldn’t pretend, like the WHO and other organizations do, that Vaping hasn’t been used by many (myself included) to effectively quit nicotine. Personally I kicked a 2 pack a day habit because of vaping and today I use no nicotine products (including vaping) because of it.

      Shouldn’t that be an argument to regulate it less, not “as heavily”?

      Many mundane things are less harmful than cigarettes and shouldn’t be regulated as heavily.

      Edit: typo

      The laws around vapes are nonsense and pseudoscience. That’s what really pisses people off.

      Flat prohibitions aren’t saving any lives or ending any health crisis. Meanwhile cigarettes are widely available with a dozen flavors.
