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.

Yes, but only for addictive substances like nicotine

The government should invest in ways to help the youth that already struggle with this rather than waste money on marketing.

Vapes - yes, junk food - no. Anything that regular people can have in moderation should not be taken from them due to those that can’t control themselves. Plenty of people can enjoy junk food on occasion without it affecting them adversely.

Yes for vaping no for fast food as it is an unrealistic expectation set a goal more for health awareness of the negative impact of excessive fast food consumption

I agree with certain things - vapes should be banned until further research / evidence is proven on their long term effects
@9ZJ4BQZ1wk1W
Vaping, certainly. Junk food, to a lesser extent; maybe by means of promoting health and exercise as opposed to completely condemning junk food.
@9ZHV2WT1wk1W
Kid vapping is running rampant, junk food people may be more opposed to. parents need to take a stand on that regard on person to person basis. cut overproduced food
@9ZH95KB1wk1W
I think things like cigarettes and vaping definitely since they are a big cause for cancer but I don't think junk food should, etc.
