      People should be properly informed about what they put in their bodies.

      Edit: Just realised I posted in an American politics instance. Ignore the foreigner.

        They are properly informed. People have known alcohol was poison for millennia, and people have known about the side-effects from smoking since the 1950’s

        Sometimes people just like to enjoy things regardless

        Sure, I can agree with that. Maybe we should start with the food industry first. Did you know there’s an acceptable amount of sawdust to put in some types of food as filler? It really is horrific. Vaping at least is something people realize is probably not great for you in the long run… but people who falls for the shitty quality of food standards don’t know what they are putting in their body either.

      second and third-hand smoke and vaping aerosols contain harmful, toxic and cancer-causing chemicals that can be breathed in.

          You’re why enforced civility is a fucking nightmare to deal with.

          ‘This doesn’t affect you!’ It does. ‘Well make it don’t.’

            That doesn’t invalidate my point. Yes, if someone is vaping somewhere inappropriate, that’s not right. But if they are outside, that’s really fucked that you think you get to dictate what other people do outside. It’s their world too.
