vapes should be regulated as heavily as cigarettes

My comment referred to this quote. It’s a comparison between how heavy two things are regulated. Neither needs to be heavily regulated for this comparison to work.

What’s too heavy about how cigarettes are regulated in your country? I’m in Canada and when I smoked cigarettes I never felt like I was obstructed in making my own choices.

I’m fine with how cigarretes are regulated in Germany. Could be still heavier. I’m not fine with regulating vapes as heavy. Especially taxes.

It’s ridiculous when vaping becomes more expensive than smoking. This creates incentive to quit vaping and smoke. Should be reversed.

Many mundane things are less harmful than cigarettes and shouldn’t be regulated as heavily

Why not? We regulate the shit out of food and medicine and those are the exact opposite of harmful when everything goes as planned.

That’s two different kinds of regulation. You’re referring to regulations to make things safer. These are great.

I was talking about regulations to make things less accessible. These are great if the things are dangerous.

It makes sense to make things less accessible which are more dangerous.
