It depends on policymakers’ goals. If they want their citizens to look cool, then this is not only justified but necessary.

Imagine the coolest-looking person you know, vaping. You are now no longer imagining a cool-looking person.

@maxleibman then imagine that same person with a cigarette and realize you sound stupid for critisizing someone using a less nasty alternative.

@BeAware You said it yourself: *less* nasty.
Not clean. Not safe. Not pleasant to be around. Not cool looking. Just less of each of those than smoking.
A smoker who switches to vaping is, on balance, a good thing. I wouldn’t celebrate anybody settling on it permanently, though, any more than I would celebrate them switching to a “lighter” tobacco product. And a non-smoker picking up vaping isn’t something to be celebrated at all.
And you do look fucking ridiculous when you do it.

@maxleibman I'd also like to think that I don't care what other people do that literally does not effect me whatsoever.
Don't like it? Don't do it.
It doesn't effect you unlike second hand cigarette smoke.
