    There are people that are addicted to a drug the government will not regulate because they are taxing the shit out of the addicted. Grow a little empathy.

    Especially for the vapers because they allready diminish the harm to them and others. The exoust fumes of the car beside you are many more times dangerous than the passive vape you could inhale.

      I’m specifically calling out people who downvoted me for saying I don’t like the smell of vapes

      I’m honestly with you, I think cigarette and vape sales should be criminalised, smokers are being taken advantage of both by the government and the smoko sellers

            regardless of where you’re from, criminalizing drug use leads to people dying. it’s been a fucking disaster in any country it’s been implemented

                  I said the sale of these items. Not the buying of. Very different prospects you’re assuming I’m lumping into one here
