    Yeah, same as with vaccination. Your decisions influence a lot of others.

    Even if the government properly informs people, not everyone is able to make an informed decision.

    Private companies abusing the system and hurting many people along the way is not something that should be celebrated as freedom. And this is a perfect example of that. Health, the environment everything can be sacrificed in the name of profit.

      Vaccines are not a personal freedom just like shitting in the creek behind your house isn’t a personal freedom. Those decisions create public health nightmares. I don’t think people should be allowed to smoke or vape in public where it could affect others, but what people do in their own time is their own business.
