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.

@Bee-Dazzled5mos5MO
Yes, but only for addictive substances like nicotine

while i believe vaping should as a whole be banned you cannot make it illegal for people to eat or drink certain things
@9ZSRH78 3 days3D
Yes to banning promotion of Vaping and smoking and other chemical substances but can't include junk food in that umbrella as all food is important in a balanced diet.
@9ZSF2K83 days3D
Promotion of vapes, cigarettes, and alcohol should be highly regulated. ‘Junk food’ should be treated like any other food product.
@9ZPXYK61wk1W
Yes but only ban the promotion of vaping and smoking, because banning the promotion of unhealthy foods will overcomplicate the advertising for cafes and fast food chains
@9ZPFJPT1wk1W
No as this will create a black market for vapes which will put young peoples health more at risk.
No, with junk food, more stringent regulation on advertising to children should be brought in possibly. More and better education is needed as well as better quality food.
They should never ban something outright but tax it heavily. I definitely don't want to be paying for someones health insurance if they haven't chosen the healthy option most of their life

The government should invest in ways to help the youth that already struggle with this rather than waste money on marketing.
@9ZL7RJ92wks2W
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.
