Big government telling you what you can and can't do - the complete opposite of what his party (Republican) wants. They don't want to be told that they can't vape because it's unhealthy. The registered voters of the Republican party likely damn well know that it's unhealthy, but it's a cheaper and cleaner alternative to smoking so to be told that they can't do it goes against everything they strive for.

I'm willing to bet that Trump, once he gets enough push-back on this, will cave in and blame someone else (Democrats) for the push-back instead of admitting that he was wrong.

The executive should NOT have the power to enact executive orders. It was bad when Obama did them. And its bad now that Trump is doing them. Republicans need to call this out. It is not the role of government to keep me from using a potentially harmful substance. I could drink the bleach under my sink right now, and it would almost certainly kill me. Should government ban bleach?

Exactly, TC.

And now hes talking about San Fransisco and how they have a problem. Too many homeless people, and if they dont take careful of it hes gonna have to step in and do something about it. Big government again.

Oh! And he wants to put them all together in one location, indefinitely. You know, like those evil illegal immigrants. No court, just detained. Where have I heard of this happening to others before?

It is the lesser of two evils. At the end of the day smokers need all the help they can get getting off that. I'm aware some folk vape for fun and "the taste" but in general vaping is a quit smoking aid.

But whos to say what people shouldnt do? Nobody. People are capable of making their own decisions. If they want to smoke, thats their choice. If they want to drink, cool. If they want to shoot heroin, smoke meth, get high, whatever, all the more power to them. They government should not have the ability to tell people what they can and cannot do with their body.

You dont see the government stepping in to get people to stop eating junk food and drinking soda - two unhealthy things to do. So why stop at drugs?

Alcohol and smokes make the government money on tax. Vaping doesn't.

It is indeed their own choice. I don't care if folk smoke/vape or not. Hell I don't even care if they take all the drugs.

The problem is, what happens when you develop illnesses based on your behavior, which in turn raises your insurance premiums, IS it just "your problem"? Or worse, what if you lack insurance entirely, and wind up being supported by the state in some way, ultimately being passed on to other people, who in turn are now paying for your decisions?

There's a really blurry line when we get into "What I do to myself in the privacy of my own home should be no one else's business", because it also tends to go hand-in-hand with your effect on other people. If someone else is being forced to deal with your second-hand smoke, or you injure someone else because you're drunk/stoned/etc, or you injure yourself so bad that society as a whole now has to deal with you, at that point your decisions DON'T just affect you.

I'm actually pretty social liberal/libertarian in the sense that I think the government should stay the fuck out of people's lives as much as possible, but even I can't deny that there are cases where it's not that simple.

Isn't it? It raises your premiums. Not everyone's, right?

I understand not having insurance is being paid for others. But we'll be paying for others regardless. Whether they smoke, have problem due to weight, or eat too much junk food. I don't think my taxes have gone up from that. Though, I don't always pay attention to my taxes as long as they aren't absurd because a lot of the money goes to ridiculous things, anyway...

Probably depends on the person. Most vape smoke I have experienced weighs just as heavily on my lungs like cigarette smoke, same with perfume and cologne.

Like cold turkey. Thats not always good. They say its safer to do with cigarettes and alcohol. But it can still be very dangerous. If they are addicted, that is...

Also, if youre talking directly to Sunny, I dont think he vapes...

Hardcore alcoholics with a history of heavy usage can risk dramatically increased risk of seizures if they quit cold turkey.

Cold turkey in general is easier to do psychologically but less healthy than a slow phasing out that gives your body time to readjust.

Trump goes after one issue by tackling another. The recent outbreak of illness was caused by black market THC cartridges, something Trump only acknowledged recently in a tweet. His initial statement when he announced the ban seemed to indicate that he thought legitimate, legal e-juice was to blame.

All of the cases are linked to black market THC cartridges and oils. Look it up my bro.

"Odd substance"? The ingredients in e-juice have always been listed right on the bottle.

If it's severe enough, you can die from it. But if it's not that severe, it's usually not as dangerous. Apparently, the highly addictive drugs are worse...

You can die is as severe as it gets.

You can be attached to any drug to any level of severity so you compare maximum potential of both.
