EDIT: In hindsight, I think I should've looked into posting this in a different community.. It's closer to a silly "innovation".. soo.. is this considered FUD? I also don't support smoking or vaping, especially among kids. Original title had "privacy-violating" before the "solution".

Regardless of whether there is nicotine or THC, or whatever drug of choice in the vape, studies have shown that vaping is dangerous.

If you'd like to point me at some studies go ahead. The only dangerous cases I've heard about were black market vapes that had other contaminants in them. It's been very hard to find reliable studies because most I've seen are self-reported using the entirely generic term "vaping" without any qualifiers on the kind.

The other risk is that black market cartridges have absolutely flooded the market, even getting mixed in with legitimate stock.

That's certainly a problem. It's one of the big reasons I think THC vapes should be both legal and regulated. In the states were it is legal, there's strict inventory tracking every step of the way.

Admittedly it's a lot harder to get people on board with regulating drug-free vapes, but I think it would be a good idea to have guarantees about what you're consuming just like food.
