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, the government should not ban the promotion of unhealthy lifestyle products aimed towards young people. They should instead invest time and money in promoting the dangers of all these products to a person's health.
@9MVTXKG2mos2MO
The government should ban the promotion of products such as vapes, but not junk food.
@9PT6LY31mo1MO
Yes, but accompany the ban with an educational campaign and requirements for parents to play a stronger role in guiding the youth towards embracing healthier habits
@9L4Z23B 2mos2MO
No, but I encourage programs that promote healthy lifestyles
@9RDP2VS4 days4D
No, but provide incentives against unhealthy things (taxes on junk food/tobacco) and incentives for healthy things (gyms, affordable healthy food, more free green spaces such as parks, pedestrian friendly infrastructure)
@78MJYZM 4 days4D
Yes, but only for products that are addictive or will lead to long-term negative effects such as vaping/nicotine
