I loved vaping. I wisely quit smoking cigarettes years ago but vaping was a fantastic compromise. I continue, even as a current non-smoker, to find the relentless claims of their risks incredibly suspect based on my knowledge of the ingredients. Nicotine is not, by itself, any more dangerous than alcohol or caffeine (both of which are also addictive).
If you're a scold who thinks people should be protected from their own desires, you're going to hate seeing the Chinese antifreeze-laden vape juice that is going to flood the black market after Brandon takes away vaping.
I was making a similar argument in the comments after only-right-about-mRNA-injections Alex Berenson sent another of his posts about "drugs are bad, make them illegal".
I really don't know why it is so hard to understand (especially for women in my experience): No one is saying that drugs/cigarettes/alcohol/sugar/whatever you want to ban is good. The point is simply: Who the hell are you to decide what other people do with their lives and send people with guns threatening to even kill them if they don't do as you like?
By the way, I f*cking *ABSOLUTELY HATE* cigarettes.
