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
@9NP3N6Z4wks4W
No. The government should tax these products heavily.
@9NMGQG24wks4W
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.
@9NJXVX84wks4W
Yes for vaping but not so strict with other things such as sugary food
@9NJRYJ74wks4W
Junk food advertising should not be banned, however vaping and alcohol advertising should be.
@9NGMZLD 4wks4W
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
