Your argument is thoughtful, logical, and well presented in a civil fashion. Your point about the media's tendency to blame inanimate objects for the misdeeds of persons is noted.
I certainly agree, every effort must be made for the vaping community to self-police, and for retailers of gear to be responsible enough to not peddle advanced user gear to those without the knowledge to use it safely.
I must however continue to resist any calls for prohibition or regulation of equipment. Any further facilitation of the dumbing down of the population in favor of relying on politicians to keep these idiots safe will eventually result in their overpopulation and thus, irreversible contamination of the gene pool.
Already too late for that. The population has already been so dumbed down, it would take 1000 yrs to rebuild the gene pool for intelligence, and given how dumbed down everything has become, I doubt the human race has 1000 yrs left to exist.
