Sure, I can agree with that. Maybe we should start with the food industry first. Did you know there’s an acceptable amount of sawdust to put in some types of food as filler? It really is horrific. Vaping at least is something people realize is probably not great for you in the long run… but people who falls for the shitty quality of food standards don’t know what they are putting in their body either.
It’s not really sawdust. Cellulose, which is basically plant fiber, is an FDA approved food additive used in things like shredded cheeses as an anti-caking agent. It is commonly extracted from wood pulp, but it could also be extracted from any plant really. Here’s a brief explainer
That doesn’t invalidate my point. Yes, if someone is vaping somewhere inappropriate, that’s not right. But if they are outside, that’s really fucked that you think you get to dictate what other people do outside. It’s their world too.
You really wanna police what other people put in their body? How exactly does it affect you?
People should be properly informed about what they put in their bodies.

second and third-hand smoke and vaping aerosols contain harmful, toxic and cancer-causing chemicals that can be breathed in.
Then don’t stand near them?
You’re why enforced civility is a fucking nightmare to deal with.
‘This doesn’t affect you!’ It does. ‘Well make it don’t.’
So you want the freedom to attack people minding their own business?

Addiction has societal impact. Reality exists outside the individual.
Not all addiction is negative
