Wisconsin town bans underage "vaping..."

I agree with the town of Neenah here in Wisconsin, because "vaping" has much more nicotine than cigarettes.

And it's already illegal for minors to buy or have cigs.

Yeah, the nicotine levels should be regulated.

At the same time, vaping doesn't bring your ejuices to combustion temperatures, which greatly reduces the health risk. Far fewer carcinogens and harmful crap like tars go into the lungs.

Of course, nobody's saying vaping is harmless, but if kids are going to use the stuff (I know, they shouldn't), I'd rather see them vape it than smoke it.

As for me, I do not vape... tobacco...
