As cigarettes are phased out, parents say new laws do little to address rampant vaping by young people.

    I think comparing vaping to drinking water is disingenuous - it is not needed and has active harms. Just because one thing is less harmful than another doesn’t mean we can’t regulate both heavily.

      It does mean that, unless we are stupid or have ulterior motives, we should not regulate them equally heavily.

      Besides, the science shows vaping is nearly harmless. I think that, again unless we are stupid, we should not be regulating it “heavily” at all. Just ban it for under-18s. Enforce that ban. That’s all.

        It should be regulated at least as much as food though don’t you think? Not just ban it for under 18s but specify what can or can’t go into a vape product.

        Otherwise you’ll get companies using cheap but dangerous to inhale substances over more expensive safer substances that do the same job.
