This better not apply to vaping.

I vaped for a few years and then stopped. Quitting was pretty damn easy imo

Under no pretext should vapes be surrendered. marx-guns-blazing

Counterpoint, a majority of the man’s bathrooms in high schools are taken up by vapers and no one can piss anymore

Thanks for reminding me to order my son's Christmas present.

Also there's lead in some vapes.

Agreed. I stopped smoking by switching to vaping, slowly reducing to 0mg and then realised I hadn’t used it for a week so got rid of it all.

They want to look at how vaping is being marketed to kids to reduce the number starting to vape but they’re not changing the age restrictions as far as I know.

Hopefully this will lead to them just using vapes instead of cigarettes and not them trying to illegally get cigarettes. I'm still on the fence on whether I think this law is a good idea in general or not but allowing them to still buy vapes / vape liquid is definitely the right decision IMO.

Your extreme views frighten me! I thought we were just gonna let them all deal with this mess long after we’re gone.

Sure it does. The functions of government concern us all
