So why are cigarettes okay? Last I checked mouth cancer isn't so much a service as it is a death sentence.

Because the tobacco industry pays the politicians to keep their poison legal.

The only companies with "buy entire legislatures" cash in vaping are the tobacco companies that bought out some of the main competition in order to annihilate it.

Where did I say cigarettes are OK? If you are referring to the goverment, I am not supporting that position either.

Oh I meant from the governments perspective, seems like a silly line to toe.
