So I also assume you fully support prohibition of alcohol then? Since it kills 1,000s a year in the US?

This is a foolish argument. 1. Vaping is at the stage where it can be controlled, whereas alcohol is beyond that point. Public health is not best served by a logically coherent approach where every product is treated fairly. 2. Alcohol will not burn your lungs and kill you in a few days at recommended usage levels, whereas vaping random juice apparently will.
Drinking ISO alcohol will make you go blind. Drinking moonshine can kill you.

Strongly disagree, see: Prohibition

How do you suppose you would "control" vaping any more than you can control alcohol? Every idiot knows how to fill a vape cart now
