Vaping refers to using electronic cigarettes that deliver nicotine through vapor, while junk food includes high-calorie, low-nutrition foods like candy, chips, and sugary drinks. Both are linked to various health issues, especially among young people. Proponents argue that banning promotion helps protect the health of young people, reduces the risk of developing lifelong unhealthy habits, and decreases public health costs. Opponents argue that such bans infringe on commercial free speech, limit consumer choice, and that education and parental guidance are more effective ways to promote healthy lifestyles.

Vaping and Smoking should be banned, however Alcohol and Junk food should remain legal for everyone.
@9MTLP9S7mos7MO
Ban the production of single use plastic products like vapes, implement further testing for long-term health risks and awareness, implement laws that ban food manufacturers from using harmful and non-eco-friendly ingredients
@9MTL2XQ7mos7MO
I don't consider vaping and junk food on the same level, some should be banned but not all 'unhealthy' choices should be banned
@9MTKGCB7mos7MO
I don't believe this is important/will make a difference, as people will still buy the products if they want them.
@9MTGTZ87mos7MO
Vaping yes. Junk food undecided. Very subjective term to use ‘junk food’ - typical scaremongering usually applies.
@9MT67Z87mos7MO
The government should do more to promote and reduce the cost of healthy living not punish us for treats
@9MT5HPR7mos7MO
Vaping should be more carefully regulated, particularly single use vapes due to the environmental impact
@9MT265G7mos7MO
Yes to vaping, but that's because they're particularly connected to ill health. Junk foods in general, as long as they don't contain harmful chemicals, can be consumed in moderation without generally lasting ill health.
