Banning is not protecting. It is shifting the problem elsewhere. Bans on certain tobacco or nicotine products may be well-intentioned... but they don't solve anything. They drive consumers toward the illicit market: unregulated, unstandardized, and without age verification. The result? Less safety, more danger. Protecting minors, helping adult smokers reduce harm, ensuring a free and responsible economy—that's a real social debate. Not a decision made in haste. Let's open the discussion. Let's not stifle it with ineffective bans.
