So how can Vaping be “illegal” and cigarettes are ok?

I don’t do either, but I think it’s odd that vaping is a concern because of health factors and cigarettes are still on the shelf?
Reminds me of the states that have no helmet laws on motorcycles but can give me a no seat belt ticket?
Makes no sense

Serious answer. If cigarettes were banned, the U.S. economy would nosedive. Hundreds of thousands of people make their living off of growing, manufacturing, distributing, and selling them.

Not to mention all you would do is create a black market.

Prohibition
Doesn’t
Work

And there will be a black market for vapes now. we’ll see swat teams in military grade equipment breaking down the doors of some teenage dweeb selling vape juice.

It’s pathetic, honestly. People had made legitimate businesses, paying taxes and being decent citizens, and now you are going to drive that market and revenue underground and likely make it dangerous.

What would you rather do, go to a nicely lit hippie dippy vape store in the nice part of town that has QC, or drive out to the hood to buy god knows what from Tyrone?

12 people have died from vaping. 6000+ have died from hormone blockers for transitioning

Yeah just imagine all those poor inmates who wouldn’t be able to trade smokes for other stuff anymore. We stand behind you, Big Tobacco!

I think it’s very hypocritical for a president that’s been so pro gun, to just say “frick it, I’m taking away your vapes.”

Not wearing a seatbelt effects (affects?) other people’s safety also.

Marlboro is concerned about the safety of children so they told the politicians to ban the dangerous vape. What's hard to understand?
