While I understand your point, you must admit there are not bubble gum flavored cannabis products, meth, or crack.
You haven't heard of space cakes?

If you had quoted my entire post, it would be pretty clear that really wasn’t what it was about.Please cite your evidence that vaping is likely harmful in all circumstances.
If it's available only in Canada, then probably.The cannabis apps are ok then?
No, they're being wrecked by an unregulated and concentrated derived product with additional hazardous additives, sold in a largely uncontrolled manner. This is where the evidence is clearly leading.
Lemmings. 15 years of vaping and overnight people start dying this is all way to fishy to me. On top of it all has anyone found the vapes bought from reputable retailers to be the cause??? Since those are the ones being banned all over so you know people will move back to black market vapes. Ughh.... Well executed big tobacco ppl are stupid..... no I dont smoke or vape either.
They could start with their ios games or apps, some of them are really addictive. Maybe force maximum screen time for their devices, some people here seem to really ask for being babysit form birth to death by government and big corporations.Apple needs to do a health study on various addictive items to see what the long term effects are.
Add a watch complication for every time you vape, smoke or drink. People might not realize how many times they are doing it.
We have been educated.
We don't care.
If you can't stop people from smoking and vaping, what makes you think that there going to stop eating fastfood?
What makes you assume we don't?So much hand-wringing and outrage about the nanny-state. And what an adorable descriptor that is.
I'm genuinely curious...How many here are so outraged and willing to step up and vote with their wallet, committing to purchasing tech products from other companies that don't support the nanny-state? Or is that just aggrandized faux outrage, and life goes on?
With so many tech companies out there it shouldn't take that much to muster up a bit of courage and commit to switching to other tech manufacturers.
What makes you assume we don't?
It’s whatever is socially acceptable. You can have apps on using illegal drugs but vaping is bad LMAO
freely available to not just minors but the very young
I understand why they did this. The government is going after vaping. It starts by getting the government’s science arm to make up lies about vaping. Then they seize the money of vaping businesses. Once this happens anyone associated with vaping can be held liable and have their assets seized by the state or private citizens in ridiculous civil lawsuits. So Apple decided to limit their liability.
Porn is a huge epidemic destroying lives. It is funny how the government doesn’t do anything at all to stop it. It is freely available to not just minors but the very young. So it isn’t like the government really wants to protect citizens, especially the very young.
You also hurt people around you too. I’m the only person that does not smoke in my entire extended family. 30 years of dealing with their smoke. It’s gotten so bad where when they smoke I can’t even be around them even outside. It irritates me throat so much lately.How some human beings kill themselves consuming legal or illegal drugs is beyond understanding. Drugs - your’e as safe as you wanna be! Only two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the former. -- Albert Einstein.
I don't vape but I think this is a bit absurd. These apps aren't the vapes themselves. People who already chose to vape will continue to do so regardless of the apps existence and from what I saw in the news those who had infections in their lungs caused by vaping were all using unlicensed THC liquid in them.
But ya know it's Apples store so whatever.
It wasn't the "THC liquid".
They were putting tocopherol acetate (ie Vitamin E) as a substitute for what was actually supposed to be in the vape cartridges.
There's enough misinformation surrounding THC as it is.
Apple is concerned about your lungs. But Chinese nationals persecuted by their government? Not so much. I can't take any of their virtue signalling seriously. But it must work on some people.
Like I said these people in this thread can keep complaining until the cows ? come home ?. If I’m the ceo or part of the top brass in Apple no way id let those apps exist in the App Store. The bad press, liabilities, etc is not worth it. You guys keep forgetting in general that corporations are not the purveyors of freedomI guess this is not about Apple being a nanny it is about protecting themselves from litigation when someone who suffers a vaping related illness sues Apple (with their deep pockets) who facilitated the sale via an app rather than the bankrupt seller of the liquids.

No they don't. China is banning selling vape to people under 18. They also ban selling vape on online-shopping websites that have not checked users' age. In fact they're not the first government doing that. India had already banned online sales of vape since Sep., and 8 states in US had also set restriction on vape sales.
Whoever told you China is banning vape nationwide, he is lying.
I get Apple can do whatever they want in their Store, but this is stupid.
An app had no influence over my decision to smoke/vape.
you're using a US product... US rules.The app store is supposed to protect us by protecting our phone against malware, not chide us into being good citizens. This is absurd and insulting, and I don't even use these apps.
I also find it absurd that a ruling by the CDC, an American body, has influence on what I can download and use in Denmark.
