There Are Nothing Wrong with Smoking and Vaping
Even though Smoking and Vaping are dangerous, it’s the business of the users, not other. Instead of banning smoking and vaping, governments should focus on restricting their use.
This could be done by raising the legal age to purchase smoking and vaping products, banning smoking and vaping in public places, and requiring warning labels on smoking and vaping products. For example, raise the legal age to purchase smoking and vaping products to 21. This would help to reduce the number of young people who start smoking or vaping.
Governments should also make it easier for people to quit smoking and vaping. This could be done by providing free or low-cost smoking cessation programs and making nicotine replacement therapy products more accessible. For instance, provide free or low-cost smoking cessation programs. This would help people to quit smoking or vaping and improve their health.
By restricting smoking and vaping, governments can protect public health without infringing on individual rights or causing negative social and economic consequences. For example, ban smoking and vaping in all public places, including restaurants, bars, and workplaces. This would protect non-smokers from secondhand smoke and aerosol. Besides, require warning labels on smoking and vaping products that clearly state the health risks associated with their use. This would help consumers to make informed decisions about whether or not to use these products.
Last, make nicotine replacement therapy products available over-the-counter. This would make it easier for people to quit smoking or vaping. Hence, smoking or vaping became the healthy activity. By restricting smoking and vaping in these ways, governments can reduce the number of people who smoke or vape and improve the health of their citizens and change the purpose of smoking and vaping.

Historical Smoking
On the radio, today and I caught a commercial for the movie about Ted Kennedy “Chappaquiddick”. I heard how it was rated pg-13 for Disturbing Images, Strong Language, and HISTORICAL SMOKING. I thought did I hear that right? What’s historical smoking? I checked and Yep the flick got a PG-13 rating partly because it shows a lot of people smoking. I certainly wouldn’t want my children seeing a movie with a lot of gratuitous sex or excessive foul language. But really, who cares if folks smoke a few Marlboros. People still smoke. I don’t think kids seeing people puffing on cigs is going to corrupt them. (Heck I see kids smoking and vaping these days.) When I was growing up in many houses my family visited there was more smoke in the living room than coming out of the stacks at the local pulp mill. I saw my son this weekend at college. The subject of the Historical Smoking came up. He asked what I thought of when I heard the term Historical Smoking. I said: "To be honest I first thought of Halle Berry." He said: "Why's that?" I told him, "When I think of Historically Smoking, Halle Berrys is right up their. Charlize Theron is smoking too, but not historically." My son gave me a smile and then his mom jumped in, "And you wonder why no one ever asks you to be a Godparent." I didn't know being a history enthusiast could be a bad thing.
