Didn't see a thread on this. Opinions?

They want to eventually make cigs illegal. They're just going to baby step their way to it. No smoking in restaurants, no smoking in certain cities, no smoking in certain counties, raise the age to 19, increase the tax by $2. blah blah blah...
Just grow some balls and introduce a bill to make it illegal. That way we can have a booming black market for prohibited substances. I've already got my rolling machine ordered.
The whole e-cig thing....I get it, carrying around lithium-ion batteries of unknown quality in your pocket and sticking them up to your face....sure, but I have no no real evidence that inhaling vapors with nicotine is harmful. And no, I don't count nicotine addiction unless nicotine itself is harmful.
Well... I mean...
Texas man killed when e-cig explodes in face
That was just this week, I believe. There's certainly a level of danger.
If we include mental health as part of "health issues" then cell phone are probably worse for people than Marlboro Reds.

Since sarcasm and parody and satire don't convey well over the internet, I'm going to assume you are taking a jab at cell phones. In which case, social media has killed more kids than e-cigs. So far anyway.
This is hardly the first time an e-cigarette user has suffered serious injuries because of a device malfunction.
A North Carolina father was severely burned after a pair of e-cigarette batteries caught fire in his pants pocket after coming in contact with loose change.
“It just exploded,” the man, Kevin King, told Today‘s Jeff Rossen in June 2018. “One minute you’re pulling up in your driveway and the next minute your pants are like crazy on fire.”
King said he jumped out of the car, then the second battery exploded.
“It just, like, burst into flames,” he said. “It just burned right through my pants. The other one explodes, shrapnel in my face and everything, hits me right in the eye.
King suffered burns to his legs so severe that he needed a skin graft, according to Today. And doctors said that had the shrapnel landed an inch closer to King’s eye, he could have lost his vision.

Seat belts, motorcycle helmets, cigarettes, e-cigs, etc etc etc.
The nanny state is growing and personal freedom is dying.
Shame. Shame on US!
