The vaping industry likes to argue that they are safer than other tobacco products, and don't deserve to be regulated the same way, but the evidence suggests otherwise. It's a fine example of why we should be happy that regulations exist at all.

No part of my argument had anything to do with safety or health.

A person's autonomy is their business. Leave them well alone. Their life, their path.

Or I guess alcohol doesn't have a purpose then, and we can get rid of it too?

Everyone is really concerned, GHiLA. We think you might have an addiction. But we're here to help. Please remember the bans are only for under 18s. You have to remember. Look at your wife, she's dying of.. asphyxiation or something. Because you keep hotboxing the bedroom.

You guys are one of them.
