Why not just leave it up to the users? Maybe put a warning?

Why does the government have to ban everything and treat us like children?

Because most people reason like children and act like children.

Had one dude buy a bunch of those none refillable vapes. Ran around with 3 of them and talked about that the government should ban them because people like himself throw them in the woods when done. That is a real person.

Politicians also act like children. There's no evidence they get their authority from being either smarter or more competent than an average person.
