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.
@9ZKTDLF1wk1W
Only if the food is known to cause serious negative Health Effects. General foods like Soda, Chocolate and Crisps are fine. Vaping should ideally be eleminated to the best of our ability.
@9MW8LJP6mos6MO
No, this country is already a nanny state as it is. Once you take away peoples right to choose what they can or can't do with their own bodies, it sets a dangerous precendent.
@9MW4ZHD6mos6MO
Well, junk food is not a massive issue so far, however, vaping is a massive issue as young people are attempting to get vapes, when they are underaged
@9MVQQMW6mos6MO
No, but waive the NHS’s obligation to provide treatment for diseases related to a poor lifestyle, such as lung cancer treatment for a smoker.
@9MVLJR26mos6MO
Some should be banned but the measures should be proportionate to the harm. Others might be restricted or other controls used instead of an outright ban.
@9MVLH3V6mos6MO
They should put the prices up on the things bad for us and the healthy stuff should be cheaper but should be free choice
@9MVKF5M6mos6MO
Two different examples that cannot be compared. Vaping should be banded, junk food should be prevented from advertising to children.
