The argument is that after weighing the costs and benefits, they think nicotine products should be more strictly regulated or banned or whatever. Not that everything dangerous should be banned. That calculation would look different for sugar or cars; you can’t just substitute the word sugar for nicotine and have the same discussion.

I mean, it is the same discussion right? It's just the costs and benefits are different. Obviously some people feel more strongly about some of the costs, and some people feel more strongly that the government should allow people to make their own decisions.

It just seems oddly specific and too "big government", why is one specific vaping product being banned when the science has shown that they're less harmful than cigarettes, you can still buy cigarettes, and there are almost certainly other more harmful substances (like alcohol) that have a bigger impact on the health of the USA that are not banned.

I don't feel like anyone would argue against more regulations, but an outright ban of sale feels super weird.
