Let's see how well banning red meat and cars would go over.
Vapes are an easy target right now. Heart disease and auto accidents are some of the greatest threats to the average American, but you'll never hear a politician going after those.
- cglace 7y agoCars are an integral part of our culture and economy and are regulated in every conceivable way. E-cigs are a relatively new vice. Hardly comparable.
- atlasunshrugged 7y agoNot to mention the things we take for granted in cars today that are there due to regulations - bumpers, seatbelts, airbags, minimum safety standards, etc.
- homonculus1 7y agoThose are requirements, not bans.
- ciupicri 7y agoRight because regulations created all these things, not manufacturers like Mercedes and Volvo trying to offer better cars to their customers.
- crispyporkbites 7y agoCars and red meat aren’t really comparable as they have a long history in society. But Cars are probably the most regulated thing you interact with day to day. You need a license, insurance and have to follow precise rules to operate them safely. Red meat also has restrictions from government bodies. In the free market those rules wouldn’t exist and people would be upset about taking their rights away when you regulate them.
- magashna 7y agoNicotine doesn't have a long history here? Cigarettes, cigars, pipes, dip, snuff, chew, hookah, all different methods, some with histories hundreds of years old. Vaping is just the modern equivalent.
