The solution is obvious but no-one is listening
The real solution to the problems around vaping, especially young people experimenting with it, is not to suppress and criminalise the practice, but to make it legal and a carefully-regulated retail product alongside the officially-approved nicotine source, ciggies.
But no, the public health pooh-bahs will have none of that, so you will have none of that. They know best, you see. Ciggies are legally available but you can't have the safer alternative without jumping through ridiculous hurdles.
After years of getting nowhere, I’m done. What’s the point in arguing with them? Is it worth the public denunciation? Is it worth the risk to one’s reputation and livelihood? Is it worth more years of banging one’s head against a brick wall? Will any of these pooh-bahs ever open their minds to positive evidence and more enlightened points of view?
No.
The die is cast, and I don’t see anything changing for years, if at all. So, I’m choosing not to stick my head above this particular parapet any longer. There are easier ways to earn a professional living.
The New Puritans have won.
