What is it about vaping that is causing an uproar to ban it from the public, but there isn't a similar uproar about banning some

Why it is important that everyone in a society get the right to vote?
bazaltina [42]

without it, citizens would not be able to choose the people who will run their government.

voting is definitely a major responsibility. Those that do not vote are failing to carry out a civic responsibility (I don't believe this no one HAS to vote it was just some stuff I found researching). They are also handing over their political power to views they may oppose.
