People totally overlook the fact that cigarette butts are also one of the biggest problems in environmental pollution [1]. The market has come up with a solution, vaping and e-cigarettes that are safer already and do not damage the environment as much. I am strongly anti-prohibition and anti-banning as that leads to more problems in the black market and provides regulatory capture for big fish, cigarettes are fine as people choose to do with their body what they choose as it is their Right to Body. But if there is a better solution with vaping, and people are going to do it no matter what, banning and prohibitions will only lead to more involvement of mafias/cartels on the black market and give markets to big fish. This is a blue ocean market and about to open up massively when prohibition on marijuana ends, lots of big fish and mafias/cartels fighting to win it. Prohibitionists/authoritarians with agendas are just their pawns in this effort. The President looks to be doing an Executive Order soon to limit vaping, just like all the Republican governors that did it. [2][3] Same play different day, big fish win, "think of the children" authoritarianism and big fish disaster capitalist raiding of the blue ocean that will be immense when marijuana is fully legalized and vaping is suddenly "safe" when the bigs run the show. This is America. People not thinking it is about market power and money are naive as hell. You think this is for health reasons? laughable. Same with all bans and prohibitions, makes it more unsafe and more lucrative for mafias/cartels because there is decreased supply and increased demand, price goes up, in comes the underground and more danger.
