You could apply this to virtually any product category. Liquor, beer, tobacco, soda, meat, toothpaste, soap, on and on and on.

Well you don’t need soda it’s a vice so we aren’t going to regulate it and make sure products are safe.

Who defines the start and end for what should be regulated? You? Legal products in the US should be safe to purchase. If marijuana is legalized it should be safe to purchase also.

I don’t see your point. I argue vaping should be banned. All those other things you list are already in widespread use, it’s irrelevant.

You actually didn’t argue that.

Alcohol and tobacco are in use but surely we could save money by making them illegal. Why waste money and continue to regulate?

Again, who is deciding? Is it you? It should be illegal because... reasons? Reasons that don’t apply to other vices because... reasons?

I'm guessing you don't live in a major city or college town? I can't walk two blocks without seeing someone with a Juul.

Why do you hate individual freedom?
