In politics most people just critizise each other, but what did your local government actually do a good job on?

    Oh sure. If an addictive drug isn’t also especially harmful to health, it might make sense to treat it more like coffee than like cigarettes. I don’t think very many people consider the popularity of coffee and tea to be “a big problem”, and so it’s not clear to me that vaping should be considered one either.

      You make a good point and every talk about drugs and addictions always comes back to alcohol and caffeine. I’d have to look more into it but yeah I think nicotine is mostly like caffeine. I think there are (or were) some gross practices about making it appealing to kids but yeah it’s true, Starbucks is appealing to kids too. It feels different. I can’t really explain why it does but it does. But yeah, I’ll ponder on this. Regardless, I definitely don’t see vaping nearly as bad as tobacco. Orders of magnitude less serious of a problem.
