Vaping itself doesn’t have any proven harmful affects. I’m not saying it definitely won’t turn out to have any at all, but nicotine is not carcinogenic, and doesn’t have anywhere near the same potential to harm as the narcotics you mentioned. This is really just speculation.

Sounds good to me. I’ve got no issue with the FDA making sure my food is safe to consume, nor any with this suggestion. It’s a sin tax or other ridiculous restrictions that seem unjustified to me. I expect the truth behind a lot of the regulation talk is really that the government doesn’t want to lose tobacco tax revenue. Which really just makes the whole thing even more tyrannical.
- abdullahkhalids 7y agoI am not at all concerned about the medical harms of vaping in my post. Facebook also doesn't have any medical harms, but its addictive nature is why it is slowly being more and more regulated. The potential super-addictive nature of vaping (much greater than cigarettes or facebook), I argue, is why it needs to be regulated.
- AmericanChopper 7y agoI don’t think any of the regulation directed at Facebook has any relation to addiction.
