If only we would work on the real health issues in this country (world?) and start looking at what is being put into our foods. We largely only went after smoking because of its externalities. There is no such thing as second-hand sugar, sadly.

Because there are other health issues, we should ignore this one? Smoking is a leading cause of death, so it's not insignificant.
I'm confused. The parent was complaining about solving smoking but letting Juul "in" and all the chemicals it introduces to people. I was merely saying there are far more and far worse chemicals in our food. That we should address chemicals in our food before we worry about Juul given the help ecigs have limited smoking.
