Did you read the whole thing? Did you see how little regulation there is for vapes compared to tobacco?

Here you go:

These are the tobacco regulations. Have a read and think if any of them apply to vapes (spoiler alert, most of them don't, like packaging , no health or addiction warnings, being visible in stores, low prices, etc.).

We also know for a fact that the tobacco sales dropped dramatically over the last decade as more restrictive regulations were introduced.

Coincidence? I think not.

Kids are smoking vapes because they don't have the same restrictions as tobacco. Thanks for proving my point again.

It's fine. The EU welcomes scientists from the USA.

just because some people can't control themselves

That's kinda the whole point of laws, exactly because people can't control themselves, drugs and all kinds of things are illegal, and it costs a shit ton of tax payers money (everyone pays) to heal or rehabilitate those people when they do destroy their bodies and minds or worse.

This is literally to everyone's benefit.

Habits can change. And if not with this generation, then with the next. I support this change.

Funny you mentioned smoking and alcohol. Because this is a perfect example of restrictions being imposed on both alcohol and tobacco and both had huge success in reducing how many people drink and smoke.

You kinda blew your own argument.

That's a good thing. But only the first step. Hopefully retailers will now halve the prices instead of doing a bogof. And the next step would be to make manufacturers and retailers start promoting healthy foods more and reducing prices
