Interesting how vaping, which has not been proven to be particularly harmful (i.e. there is not yet clear evidence of being either harmful or harmless), has been so viciously targeted by the Government to make if 100% illegal. In the meantime, clearly harmful products (like tobacco, alcohol, fast food, sugar drinks) are untouchable.
In 2024, it is hard to maintain the line that vaping is harmless. Having read many lawsuits vs vaping companies, there is actually strong evidence of harm - enough to ground an array of law suits - and result in massive settlements thus far. As NY AG Tish James says, there has been 'widespread harm' https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/12/juul-to-pay-462-million-settlement-to-six-states.html @j
