I&#8217;m yet to figure that out.<\/p>\n<p>Ok save the children, yes but do it where that is needed&#8230;..targeting<br \/>\nvaping is creating a war where none exists.<br \/>\nKids&#8230;.<br \/>\nwill smoke<br \/>\nwill vape<br \/>\nwill drink<br \/>\nwill drive<br \/>\nwill fuck that girl\/boy they fancy<br \/>\nwill get pregnant<br \/>\nand on and on it goes&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>Do we ban smokes&#8230;.<br \/>\nDo we ban alcohol<br \/>\nDo we ban cars<br \/>\nOr any of the million things stupid kids do growing up<br \/>\nI was there once a long time ago, I&#8217;m allowed to call it stupid.<\/p>\n<p>Can government regulate that, stop that&#8230;.NO never.<br \/>\nWhat they can do is educate and hopefully get the message across that<br \/>\nall the above is not a real bright choice in life.<\/p>\n<p>Bring in the old guy who&#8217;s dying from lung cancer into the schools.<br \/>\nBring in the kid who cant walk anymore after crashing dads car he took<br \/>\nfor a drive late one night.<br \/>\nOr the girl at 14 who&#8217;s pregnant and who&#8217;s life has been destroyed at<br \/>\nthat age.<br \/>\nBring in the stupid fucker who wants to vape&#8230;&#8230;I don&#8217;t fucking know<br \/>\nwhat &#8230;.Evali, vitamin E acetate ?. I&#8217;m ignorant here but I think those<br \/>\nones are past help.<\/p>\n<p>Teach, educate, and FUND the schools&#8230;.. show the consequences of<br \/>\nmaking poor choices. You&#8217;ll get the attention of some, perhaps a<br \/>\nlot&#8230;not all. Get them when they&#8217;re young, I can&#8217;t think of a better<br \/>\nway.<br \/>\nAll this education is fully funded, no need take money from anyone but<br \/>\nsmokers. In Australia 17 BILLION per year is collected in tobacco tax.<br \/>\nDoes the Australian government spend 17 billion a year on quit smoking<br \/>\nprograms&#8230;.lol you know the answer.<br \/>\nNicotine patches and the like should be free here given they are utterly<br \/>\nfucking useless &#8230;.they are not.<\/p>\n<p>Ok sorry for the rant here but the video in the back catalogue set me<br \/>\noff.
