South Carolina Should Incentivize Smoke-Free Tobacco, Not Punish It

I quit smoking almost 20 years ago, with a few slip ups here and there. Unfortunately, I now have emphysema. I manage it well by losing some weight and…vaping! Not the fruity candy vapes favored by teens, but the type that give me the things I crave without all the harmful things in tobacco. My pulmonologist wishes I didn’t vape at all, but he admits that the harm from my vape is so much less than from a cigarette. I can definitely tell the difference. I’d guess I’d be nearly dead by now had I continued to smoke cigarettes. Please let me manage my nicotine addiction without further punishment.
