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 believe junk food advertisements should be banned, but vapes absolutely
@9TW98DJ7mos7MO
For vaping and other harmful drugs, yes, but in situations where the product can be made less harmful by removing certain ingredients, the manufacturers should be required by law to remove them.
@9TLDKTR7mos7MO
Yes for things like vaping, optional for things like junk food
@9TKZZ2B7mos7MO
stop the promotion of nicotine and addictive distances
@9SLJBJV8mos8MO
Maybe not ban but regulate pricing of healthy options. As it stands something like a bag of potato chips is more affordable than a head of cauliflower.
@9NCVPRK11mos11MO
No, and it should be the same across all provinces instead of BC having all the rules which only causes more people to go outside BC of to black market suppliers to get products and reduces profits for BC businesses
@9MXJRLQ11mos11MO
No, as this will inevitably lead to a black market. Instead, companies that manufacture these products should be legally required to advertise their harmful health effects, much like in the sale of cigarettes.
@B24KB2H4mos4MO
Vaping should be banned but not junk food. Vaping and junk food are not even close to each other and should be in completly different questions or areas.
@9ZSRGC55mos5MO
Not junk food if it’s not really bad but vaping yes because it can be used as a start drug.
@9W8Z2D76mos6MO
I think vaping and stuff like that should be banned
@9V5LZ3C7mos7MO
I believe that promoting vaping should be banned but promoting junk food is fine.
@9V4HD9K7mos7MO
No, but it should be taxed heavily, similar to cigarettes and alcohol.
@9PSCFW710mos10MO
no but increase taxes on things that lead to unhealthy lifestyles.
