Why not just outlaw tobacco products! I agree smoking is a major health issue but the bigger issue is that governments have become addicted to the tax revenue they generate, so can't ban them!
No one complains when taxation on tobacco products goes up every year because we are told it's to discourage smoking!
It will be interesting to see how vaping develops and what tax treatment it ends up with!

This is a step in the wrong direction though, isn't it? We've seen prohibition with Alcohol and Marijuana, in both cases it was a disaster...
I don't know what the perfect answer is, maybe taxes are the right way, I think probably just education seems to be doing the trick.
Education should be first I believe
Very true
Thank you
