Vaping refers to using electronic cigarettes that deliver nicotine through vapor, while junk food includes high-calorie, low-nutrition foods like candy, chips, and sugary drinks. Both are linked to various health issues, especially among young people. Proponents argue that banning promotion helps protect the health of young people, reduces the risk of developing lifelong unhealthy habits, and decreases public health costs. Opponents argue that such bans infringe on commercial free speech, limit consumer choice, and that education and parental guidance are more effective ways to promote healthy lifestyles.

The government should support the promotion of products that contribute to healthy lifestyles for all people.
@9YHPBFQLibertarian7mos7MO
No, but increase awareness of vaping or junk food health issues. Or, more honestly, create a cultural stigma around such things in the same in which cigarettes are viewed today.
@9X87WQGLibertarian7mos7MO
No, the government should not interfere with private company advertising but should give incentives for items that better meet the health goals set for our country
@8F8D9G3Libertarian 7mos7MO
No, we should not be banning anything simply because some people don't agree with them. However, I do believe that the marketing and advertising industry has become too powerful as a driving force in every aspect of our personal lives. It would be better to eliminate advertising all together.
@9VY2FF9Libertarian8mos8MO
No, but raise minimum buying age to 25 (that is when brain is fully developed) and require ID verification of age and identity.
@9VLN4QJLibertarian8mos8MO
Yes and no we should do it with incentives and crack down on corporate corruption not make them in trouble and switch it. Just define on subsides and trash food for kids
@97PVFL4Libertarian 10mos10MO
Although the promotion of such products is too extensive, the government should not step in to prevent such promotions
@9RWS756Libertarian10mos10MO
Yes and no. Vaping is harmful and is proven to cause cancer and other issues, while junk food is simply cheaper food that may be less nutritional but cannot do harm in small quantities
@ShortTimeNoSeeLibertarian 11mos11MO
No, individuals should be free to make their own choices, with an emphasis on education and transparency to inform those decisions.
@9WCW9KPLibertarian7mos7MO
No, but make it so that the dangers of these products are highlighted to consumers before the purchase
@5BMX4XTLibertarian 11mos11MO
No but companies should state the personal penalties of use. IE. Vaping can result in Death & destruction of your health.
@9MWL2BZLibertarian1yr1Y
Yes in theory, put that isn't the role of the government.
@9QXR5T4Libertarian11mos11MO
No, corporations have the right to compete in the market with whatever product they want, as long as it abides by the constitution and follows FDA laws.
