Ah yes, the classic solution: it's slightly challenging so let's do nothing instead and hope for the best.

This usually doesn't work out.

I never said to do nothing, so this is a pretty lame strawman.
Yes you did, you said "let's not regulate things that are flimsy" and your example was smoking (???) because we have vapes now (???) and so effectively people still smoke inside (???)

Really? We can't even regulate smoking? That's too far for you? Jesus Christ.

If this isn't "we tried nothing and we're all out of ideas" then I don't know what is.

Yes, regulations are not perfect and do have to be updated. That doesn't mean theyre worthless and we shouldn't bother. Thats stupid.
