Here you go:

These are the tobacco regulations. Have a read and think if any of them apply to vapes (spoiler alert, most of them don't, like packaging and being visible in stores, etc.).

We also know for a fact that the tobacco sales dropped dramatically over the last decade as more restrictive regulations were introduced.

Coincidence? I think not.

Kids are smoking vapes because they don't have the same restrictions as tobacco. Thanks for proving my point again.

just because some people can't control themselves

That's kinda the whole point of laws, exactly because people can't control themselves, drugs and all kinds of things are illegal, and it costs a shit ton of tax payers money (everyone pays) to heal or rehabilitate those people when they do destroy their bodies and minds or worse.

This is literally to everyone's benefit.

Habits can change. And if not with this generation, then with the next. I support this change.

Funny you mentioned smoking and alcohol. Because this is a perfect example of restrictions being imposed on both alcohol and tobacco and both had huge success in reducing how many people drink and smoke.

You kinda blew your own argument.

That's a good thing. But only the first step. Hopefully retailers will now halve the prices instead of doing a bogof. And the next step would be to make manufacturers and retailers start promoting healthy foods more and reducing prices

one section in the lawsuit suggests that plots for Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight and James Cameron’s Avatar were plagiarized from his own writing

He's not stupid to attack a NATO member. So maybe Moldova? But then why is he testing the skies in the other end of Europe and not near Moldova? Nah, he's not going to attack anyone else.

They're just bluffing, they'd lose more money by withdrawing from the EU market, than finding ways to comply. Greedy corporations are easy to predict, since their only goal is money and they don't do things "out of principle".
