San Francisco or will completely ban vape

According to the Associated Press, the San Francisco City Supervisory Board voted a proposal last Tuesday to ban the sale and distribution of vapes in the city.

The proposal also needs to pass a vote before it becomes law. However, it was also voted by the same group of officials, and the vote was over. If passed, San Francisco’s ban on vape will become the official law, and San Francisco will become the first city in the United States to completely ban vape sales. Until the US Food and Drug Administration completed the assessment of the impact of vape on public health.

Supervisory committee member Shamann Walton said, "In the 1990s, we worked hard against tobacco, and now we see its new form - vape." The committee said that the ban on vape may not completely prevent young people from taking vape, but they hope this will be a good start.

San Francisco District Attorney Dennis Herrera said that there are many channels for young people to obtain vape, and the FDA has not yet completed the vape survey on public health impact. Formally allow or ban vape.

In this regard, San Francisco-based vape giant Juul believes that smoking vape is much healthier than smoking cigarettes. Ted Kwong, a spokesperson for the company, said, "San Francisco prohibits all adults from using vape regulations, and does not effectively address the problem of minors smoking, and it will make cigarettes the only choice for adult smokers. These cigarettes cause 4 per year. Ten thousand Californians died."

Indeed, the issue of vape use by adolescents is of great concern. Although the FDA has talked about vape manufacturers about the use of vapes by teenagers in 2018, it is clearly not effective. Although vape is less harmful than cigarettes, it is harmful to young people who do not smoke. Cigarettes are easily purchased. The use of cigarettes by teenagers is still very serious. The use of vape by teenagers is caused by inadequate supervision and industry confusion, and vape and e-liquid can be easily purchased by teenagers.

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, instead of allowing young people to use cigarettes easily, it is better to let elders use vape, which is even less harmful to young people unless cigarettes are completely banned.
