We are the victims of dishonest politicians and their political pandering to seek relevance. The more laws they make the more power they can grab. They make a list of things that are illegal so that anyone can be rounded up if they don't like our politics or demographics. I will not stop vaping even if I have to smuggle the stuff or make it myself in the basement and I will be legislated into criminality for a practice that has likely added 20 years to my life and preempted thousands of dollars in future insurance claims and medical bills.
There is a reason that the USA has had a higher percentage of it's population imprisoned that any other nation on earth(including the former Soviet Union, Iran, North Korea). It's because nobody stops to think that when new laws are made the government just gave itself and it's cronies in the corporate prison industries and legal fields access to more power and money and were just pandering to us to get us to vote for them.
