I really hope one day people will look back at those practices the same way we look back at the normality of cigarettes being pushed on everyone back in the 50's.

    how about weaponizing your willingness to die against the world that made you want to instead of just dying peacefully

    Doctors aren't making corporate vape ads. There are no ads at the movies and on TV. People aren't openly vaping indoors and their way to the vape vending machine. Vapes are a whole different deal than old-time cigarettes. And kids sure aren't vaping with teachers in the vape hole between classes.

    Gotta admit, I got a grin thinking someone out there find the two comparable. You should have seen the 80s after smoking was "dialed down"!
