Idk man is this something that really needs to be available but regulated as opposed to just being banned. I don’t think it should be a crime to use or be in possession of but selling products that exist solely to give people an addiction is something I’m broadly in favour of. Fyi there is no healthy amount of nicotine or smoke inhalation. Also we’re talking about kids here. Letting adults fuck up their health for vanity is one thing but allowing people to sell an addiction to kids so that we can ensure they’re getting the healthy alternative is fucked up. For comparison there is no logical argument for letting kids buy alcohol so that they aren’t buying unsafe black market alternatives.
If kitty ain’t done right it is bad poison and will kill
Bootleg alcohol combined with fishy vape products and or combustible cigarettes are definitely more unhealthy than safe scientifically regulated nicotine vape products and properly done alcohol
Kids are going to be stupid regardless so the topic should be harm reduction and proper information should always be available
Yeah and in this case harm reduction is telling kids not to take nicotine, teaching them why and increasing the difficulty in acquiring nicotine products. Just because it’s futile to stop all nicotine abuse doesn’t make efforts to reduce it not worthwhile. Far more kids drink and smoke underage than do illicit drugs precisely because drugs are harder to get a hold of. The overall impact of reducing everyone’s risk by a moderate amount as opposed to a small group of people’s risk by a large amount is a worthwhile trade off. Yes there is an argument that kids who are doing illicit drugs are endangering themselves so we should legalise and regulate them instead so we know they are doing it “safely.” But, far more people would be doing drugs and causing far more damage if they were legal.
Not to bring up the moral argument of letting products that serve no purpose but to get people to be addicted to them in the first place be sold at all.

Because literally anything can become addictive for the right person. So no one is allowed to sell anything.
It is almost guaranteed to be addicted to those banned things for biological reasons.
