Late Wednesday, Brown signed the bill raising the age for tobacco use, including vaping, to 21, the Associated Press reports. He also vetoed a bill that would have asked voters to divert tobacco taxes to pay for the health expenses of those with tobacco-related ailments, according to the Los Angeles Times.

    I thought the active ingredient for vaping was the same as cigarettes.

    With no smoke, it is probably a better alternative. However any substance that is physically addicting really should be managed.

    You could put a variety of stuff into a vape. Plain water or cannabis come to mind.

      Either way, get that shit out of my face. If you want to vape, vape at home.

    Coffee, for instance?
