    Between the massive corporate wealth at stake and the millions of people literally addicted to the product, it’s hard now to imagine governments being able to ban them (and I lived through it).

        Infinitely better for health and can only be used in private spaces or outside in most countries, would rather have some rights than none

          How dare you impose your right to a thing that impacts no one else. I use vapour to scent my hous but how dare you use it for whatever you want. Under the guise of “quitting smoking for the betterment of your health”. spits

          The world and it’s people needs to be how I want them to be. Only then can people be as tolerant as me.

            This is Lemmy, sir. Your sarcasm isn’t going to be recognized here.

              And of those that didn’t recognise it, half of them will be upset at you for highlighting their lack of social awareness which made them feel dumb. A portion of that group will say they did get it and, “No, you’re dumb!”

                I don’t miss Reddit for much, but the humorless pearl clutching was way lower there at least.

            Fun fact, no one cares if they use incense in their homes. It doesn’t affect others. Shit, you can even vape back home and no one will bat an eye. But since it is at very least annoying as fuck to sit in vape clouds, you are not allowed to do that.

            It’s either the right to vape or the right to breathe clean air. You can’t have both.

              Nothing about that fact is fun. It’s barely even mildly interesting or even a fact. The deceit! You should be ashamed.

                We usually say fun fact for little children, so they would learn ;)

        Which the Aussie government banned, yet didn’t even touch cigarettes.

          Lol I’m a school bus driver and a number of my colleagues vape on the fucking buses. They imagine they’re being super-secret about it - they’re somehow oblivious to the giant cloud of smoke each hit creates. Never underestimate the power of nicotine addiction to force people to relentlessly push the boundaries of where and when.
