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.

no, people have the right to make their own decisions
@9TTDYHC7mos7MO
banning is not the solution, preventing minors access is
@9NBQ4T611mos11MO
No, but force them to state the negative health affects
@B46PXPW3wks3W
No, but discourage and educate people on unhealthy lifestyles and the consequences of making those choices
@B3YW9621mo1MO
No, it is not the government’s job to tell people what they can or can not put in their bodies. Something the government can do though is to promote healthy lifestyle choices, while not criminalizing or penalizing unhealthy choices.
@B3CTNFR2mos2MO
No, there should be more access to programs educating young people of risks and more regulation on marketing to young people, targeting low income communities, and false claims.
@B2P2T623mos3MO
No. But more regulations need to be put on products to make them healthier. for example, amount of sugar, food dye, and chemicals in our food.
@9VCHSGV7mos7MO
Treat vaping exactly like cigarette sale/use/advertising.
@9VBQTZ97mos7MO
Depends as vapes and junk food could ease young minds
@9NJP74H11mos11MO
No, but we should increase the restriction of the promotion
