    No, do not leave vaping alone. Just because some asshat companiea found a new way to exploit health damage for profit does not mean it should be allowed because freedumb.

      Let me consume nicotine in the least harmful method available. You don’t get to dictate what I do with my body. That includes all drugs.

        Sure, but can we then tax the product for the actual health risk?

        And least damaging? How about gum, or tabs. No popcorn lung involved.

          Abortion is bad for the fetus’s health. Perhaps we should tax it 1000%. While we are at it let’s tax Soda and Sugar. Fuck it lets tax cosmetic surgery, I mean it is such a waste and so risky.

          If we are going to go down this road of controlling other people’s bodies let’s go all the way then.

            Sugar is already being taxed, and this will grow. High fructose should be extra taxed yes. Abortion seems out of place in your rabid “muh freedumbs” response.

            There is a responsibility for a government to protect the health of citizens. I can see this (and drugs) being properly regulated. And then people can buy and use as they see fit. But just free sales, no.

              Well I’m glad you are there to dictate what someone can and can’t do with their body. We only want people to engage in activities if they are state sanctioned.
