A person has died from a vaping-related condition

This is true. Our starting point isn’t zero deaths, it’s the hundreds of thousands of people in the US who die due to smoking tobacco.

If you cut that in half, that’s a win.

This is what harm reduction is all about.

Tobacco currently kills about 500,00 Americans per year, according to the CDC, so 100,000 would be way less than half.

You can easily cut them not just in half, but completely, by banning smoking.

Right. This is why there have been no methamphetamine or heroin related deaths and for over 100 years. /s
