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.

No. Price caps are helpful in curbing corporate greed. However, I would implement universal healthcare so that all prescription drugs are free at the point of service.
No, product warnings and heavy taxes should be placed on vapes and other harmful, non-essential consumables. But "junk food" is too broad a term and would require more inquiry but the main indicator for food choices is cost, healthy food options should be subsidized to lower prices for consumers and allow them to choose those things over "junk foods" which tend to be less expensive in comparison.

The government should ban false or misleading advertising about products that contribute to unhealthy lifestyles, and promote transparency around health risks
The government should have the same policy they have for smoking, if there's a junk food ad, make it mandatory it plays an anti one after. Just same policy as the smoking FDA act.
yes and no. yes for over promoting it, and no because for some they can both be a stress reliever to them. They should also regulate how much vapes one consumes for it can cause a huge problem.
No, but there should be a "tax" for the manufacturing and distribution of products that promote an unhealthy lifestyle, while providing savings for products that contribute to a healthy lifestyle.

No, but the companies that promote lifestyles that are deemed 'unhealthy' should be taxed higher or have some incentive for 'healthier' alternatives
No, but removing the capitalistic and hierarchical pressures that lead young people to consume unhealthy products should be dealt with directly. This, in turn, will remove the problem from its source
@9SBSJ6W9mos9MO
Yes, but not all. Only the ones that causes health issues to not only oneself but people around them like vaping and cigarettes.
@9RBBBSQ 10mos10MO
Vaping is harmful under any circumstance, while consuming junk food is controllable. There should be a varied approach to this topic
Meat, animal food products and junk food should come with product warning labels similar to this on tobacco products.
@9MV52QM12mos12MO
Vaping and illegal products yes food absolutely not
Yes, ban promotion that is targeted at young people.
No, but disincentivize the purchase of these goods by increasing their sales taxes
