Vaping Is for Enjoying Nicotine, Not Just Quitting
A New Zealand academic misunderstands vaping, claiming it's for smoking cessation only, not pleasure. Vaping was created for safer nicotine enjoyment. Prohibitionists ignore vaping's origins, pushing abstinence and overlooking harmlessness. John Stuart Mill's harm principle supports individual choice, not authoritarianism like in Singapore. Prohibitionists' stance threatens personal freedoms and safer alternatives, aiming to infantilize adults and limit pleasure. Vaping is about enjoyment, not just quitting smoking. Prohibitionists' views could be more dangerous than vaping itself. The focus should be on individual choice and harm reduction, not imposing moral judgements.
