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.
@979XN3F 2wks2W
No, but enact strict limits on the amount of sugar, adhesives, and pesticides in all commercial food products
@B2WQYCF1mo1MO
I would not argue a ban but that the economic incentives should be heavily reduced through indirect taxes on vaping and junk food.
@B2T4ZN41mo1MO
Yes - these adverts should be permitted 10pm - 5am on all tv channels
These adverts should also be permitted to be shown to verified adults on social media
Vaping adverts should be banned from any website that can’t verify your age (ID verification ONLY)
@B2Q67G42mos2MO
The government should step in on this issue. Why not. The Uk government should step in more and be like the Nordic countries and protect and defend society from junk.
@B2CK3H62mos2MO
No, instead of banning these products, improve the education on the potential harms of the products.
@9MTLP9S10mos10MO
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
@9MTL2XQ10mos10MO
I don't consider vaping and junk food on the same level, some should be banned but not all 'unhealthy' choices should be banned
