How is this any different than going to Walgreens and looking at the Nicoderm and saying which strength should I start with?!?

Difference is that Nicoderm is just a medication, whereas vaping is actually pleasurable due to taste, the process of hand and oral satisfaction, and yes- nicotine when included. The fun police, people with too much time on their hands, don't like something that resembles smoking, and has potential to be dangerous in the wrong hands..... e.g. people who don't know how to build safely, or use unregulated mods without referring to an ohm's law calculator.
Then there's the aspect of people going from analog smoking to an actual hobby with a degree of intentional complication, if you will. Even with more restrictive policies as to where one can smoke, cigarettes are still the most convenient guilty pleasure. All one needs to do is step outside and flick their bic. That's probably all the majority of Americans (smokers and non) need to understand. Not so easy to do that with a beer, gambling, or other common vices...... not to mention that there's a little maintenance on vaping equipment, as at a minimum, we need to add juice, change and prime prebuilt coils, charge and change batteries, and sometimes even disassemble and clean out our tanks. Imagine that..... could be too much for the common person. Can't stick your PV in the microwave...... it's more like real cooking. I bet most of us have several tanks, a variety of coils, more than one mod, several juices, and if they are serious enthusiasts, a good deal more.
Finally, many people don't want to see junior blowing clouds. My parents both smoked Reds before they finally reformed, and plenty of them. Let's say I was born 20 years later, and came home from college with a TFV4. Not sure what they would have done, but safe to say it would not have been pretty if I were blowing massive clouds in their house. I did not smoke in front of my folks, but being it was a smoking house, it was easy to do so in the basement late at night, or elsewhere when they were not home. Somehow the dog was very amused when he saw me smoke...... running around, wagging his tail. Not used to seeing me do this, he was a rebellious hound himself, and I think he enjoyed having a partner in crime.
Sorry for rambling, but vaping well turned out to be more complicated (and satisfying) than clicking a bic on a simple, mass-produced commodity. Probably too much for the brilliant people now influencing our government "healthcare" system. Then there's the easy barriers to entry--- we don't like that sort of thing here anymore, now that you need a license to get a license to do anything, plus I'm sure the gov't will soon also want to tax the hell out of vaping products, given they are "tobacco." Can't fix stupid!
