Vaping refers to using electronic cigarettes that deliver nicotine through vapor, while junk food includes high-calorie, low-nutrition foods like candy, chips, and sugary drinks. Both are linked to various health issues, especially among young people. Proponents argue that banning promotion helps protect the health of young people, reduces the risk of developing lifelong unhealthy habits, and decreases public health costs. Opponents argue that such bans infringe on commercial free speech, limit consumer choice, and that education and parental guidance are more effective ways to promote healthy lifestyles.

I don’t think junk food is the issue so much as vaping, drinking etc
No. The government should tax these products heavily.
@9NMGQG2PBB Solidarity2wks2W
For clearly defined health or lifesyle reasons, yes, but there must be a mechanism to prevent bigatory stances (i.e. anti LGBTQIA+) to be sneaked in at a later stage.
@9NJXVX8Social Democrats2wks2W
Yes for vaping but not so strict with other things such as sugary food
@9NJRYJ72wks2W
Junk food advertising should not be banned, however vaping and alcohol advertising should be.
@9NGMZLDPBB Solidarity 3wks3W
Depends on the product, there's already a decent amount of harm reduction in junk food, but the way vaping is regarded is absolutely bonkers and I do think that more bans surrounding it should be put in place
@9MY38KG4wks4W
Nuance should be applied. Some substances (e.g. alcohol and ciagrettes) can be easily indentified in law, while with others (e.g. junk food) it's more difficult to draw a precise line. Is this a power bar, or junk food? Are biscuits junk food, or a safe occassional treat? Etc.
@9MXWGGB4wks4W
No, but stricter regulations on who can purchase those products and where they can be consumed
@9MX67X84wks4W
Promote in areas or environments that are 18+ - bars, clubs, casinos etc.
@9MX3KBR4wks4W
Only ones that have direct bad consequences such a vapes, betting etc.
The government should ban the promotion of toxins such as smoking and vaping. Junk food promotions should not be banned, but rather there should be an increase in accurate nutritional advice.
@9MWSQMX4wks4W
No, but introduce schemes to promote a healthier lifestyle option
@9MVY3NK4wks4W
Yes to vaping junk food is the decision of the individual and not up to the government
