**Vaping should not be banned but Vaping inside should be and people Vaping should do it away from non-Vapers** - Vaping should not be banned (for adults), it should be the individuals informed choice as to whether they do or don't vape - People should be given more education and information about the science of Vaping in order to ensure their choice is informed and they [understand the risks](https://www.lung.org/quit-smoking/e-cigarettes-vaping/impact-of-e-cigarettes-on-lung), particularly as [vaping is relatively new and the full effects are not yet know](https://www.theguardian.com/science/sifting-the-evidence/2016/sep/14/why-cant-scientists-agree-on-e-cigarettes-vaping) - Vaping also shouldn't be banned as it is a tool which can [help people stop smoking cigarettes](https://www.bmj.com/content/354/bmj.i4645) in fact ["a study that looked at e-cigarette use and smoking cessation across the population estimated that e-cigarettes helped an additional 18,000 people in England in 2015 to quit for the long term."](https://news.cancerresearchuk.org/2021/04/26/e-cigarettes-what-we-know-and-what-we-dont/) which [research](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25108741/) has shown are more harmful than [vaping](https://www.rcplondon.ac.uk/projects/outputs/nicotine-without-smoke-tobacco-harm-reduction) - However Vaping indoors in public spaces (eg. pubs and restaurants) is [still legal in the UK](https://uk.iqos.com/blog/vaping-and-e-cig-laws-uk), Vaping indoors should be made illegal as although the person vaping may have made a choice to vape the other people in their [vicinity have not, so should not be subjected to the possible risks of second hand smoke](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6958336/) - Although Vaping outdoors should not be made illegal, people who are vaping should make sure to do so away from other people particularly children due to the possible risks of second hand smoke. In areas, such as outside schools, playgrounds etc... vaping should be banned. - Age restrictions on vaping also need to be tightened and enforced more. In addition, children should be taught about the [science](https://medicalxpress.com/news/2019-04-teens-dont-vaping-nicotine.html) and [risks of vaping](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6759423/) in schools to allow them to make informed decisions

**If vaping is banned than smoking will have to be banned too.** - If smoking is not banned, then neither should be vaping. I am no particular fan of vaping, however I see no reason for smoking to be legal and vaping not to be. After all, it is virtually the same thing. Often, vaping even smells better than smoking and more pleasant to look at, (due to the lack of ash being left). - Vaping is still [not good for you](https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/5-truths-you-need-to-know-about-vaping), and I am certainly not advertising it. But, my point is vaping can only be banned if smoking is banned. It is not as harmful as smoking, more pleasant, and probably cheaper.
