    Kids will get their hands on vapes, the same as alcohol, smokes, and so on down the list.

    But nobody’s talking about making alcohol or cigarettes prescription only.

    I’d be content with with restrictions that match cigarettes.

    I wouldn’t. I think that keeping vapes away from children should be better enforced, but non-disposable vapes should be freely available for adults trying to quit smoking.

    And, although I’m generally adamantly opposed to prohibition as a solution, I think tobacco should be completely banned.

    Unlike all the drugs that ARE banned or tightly restricted, tobacco has no therapeutic or recreational benefits. There’s no upside and it’s the number one lifestyle cause of death in the world.

    I am not happy that access is being blocked over a bunch of whataboutisms.
