Why do you care about strangers who have made a decision to do something to their own bodies?
American healthcare is in shambles with maximized suffering due to this EXACT sentiment. You may as well have asked why I care about society.
Also why would you assume I don't know anyone who will suffer directly from smoking and vaping? I certainly do. I have a relative who died from a stroke that was almost certainly linked to decades of smoking. I have others who already have had health problems from smoking and switched to vaping. Expecting them to realize that is also hurting their health after it's too late.
You really did not think before you wrote that comment, other than you thought about your right to vape without ever hearing the objective truth about it: that it's unhealthy.
