I will be the resident naysayer on the topic and say vaping should be completely banned. Glad it is not allowed indoors anywhere.
Viping?
It’s a great tool for smokers to stop quitting because the Nicotine is addictive and they’re still getting that sensation.
However, vaping is being taken up primarily by very young kids - 9, 10, 11 year olds have all been caught vaping in schools locally. I don’t know if it’s a gateway incident but they don’t realize that it contains an addictive chemical. One that can be harmful at an early age.
So I do applaud the media awareness campaign - I’m hearing very different Juul ads on the radio than I have in the past.
Tax it.
They want vaping gone? Tax it. They want to eliminate vaping? Tax it.
Just like cigarettes and tobacco. Tax it.
If you want LESS of something.... Tax it.
make that..Vaping?
I agree. Vaping wacks people out on nicotine. They suck on those things like a pacifier, constantly sucking in nicotine. People who vape change their personalities into neurotic crazies.
My friend’s 25 year-old son was a heavy smoker. He got married, and when his first kid was born, decided he needed to quit. So he started vaping. Slowly dialed down the nicotine to the most minute levels. He now vapes only when drinking/socializing.
Vaping was a life-saver for him.
I don’t smoke but i’m pretty disgusted at govt crackdown on vaping.
Cigs have so many chemicals that are really horrible for you. I’d trade that any day for just one of those chemicals, nicotine.
What is the downside? The govt getting less tax money.
Obviously you haven't been everywhere. There's a casino a coupla' miles up the road you can smoke stogies in while playing the slots.
I thought Trump Supporters are forbidden from buying Vape Products.
I remember seeing a Video not long ago of a Vape Store Employee refusing to sell any Vape Products to a guy wearing a Trump Shirt.
Good for him and his family. Just don't tell the anti-vaping jihadists. They don't care. I'm not a pot/cigarette smoker but if vaping gives somebody pleasure without harming others (such as kids) then I'm all for it.
The arguments against vaping are specious, at best. I smoked for 45 years- and I am a retired Respiratory therapist. When I first started in the field we ALL smoked. Vaping helped me quit. It got my husband to quit. The main ingredients in the oil are vegetable glycerin (inert in the body) and propylene glycol, which is a (really!) old school respiratory medication for breaking up mucus. Betcha didn’t know that. Kids are vaping? would you rather they smoked cigs?
The health benefits in the REASON for vaping are enormous, no matter what the whiney little snowflakes claim. I’m betting the goofball clutching her pearls and complaining about your vaping is the SAME idiot with 20 cats. Kiss off!
“If you want LESS of something.... Tax it.” - Very true, the Democrats are determined to prove that on our economic prosperity.
All e-cigarettes are currently illegal in Singapore. If we can save even one child’s life we should completely ban them in the US as well. /s
I’m not going to sit here and say that vaping is good for you, but everything I’ve seen tells me that it’s not nearly as destructive to your health as smoking.
I’m always grateful when a Freeper shows themselves to be a nanny state busybody at heart.
I thank you.

I don’t know .. driving around sometimes and at stop signs or lights, it’s not unusual to see a billowing cloud of smoke coming out of an open window of a nearby car.. I guess it beats 8000 watts of a rap tune to stir one’s brain.
Long term effects? Life is terminal. Let folks pretend they are fine as long as they can.. even though we can plainly see they are blowing smoke uhh vapour..
Sure, you bet, anything to keep people addicted to nicotine...
Why? I assume you are one of the people who swears the water vapor smells, clogs up sinuses, right? I flew from Columbus, OH to Los Angeles. I vaped all the way, simply pretending to curl up in my seat with a sweater covering my head. My doctor refers to those who have gone from cigarettes to vaping “God Bless and more power to those who vape, they are heaven sent to smokers.” (But he also refers to flu shots as poison and can’t imagine any doctor recommending them because we have no idea what is in them.)
I don’t think you got the context of the ob-ed
