People don't vote with their wallets for the best option, they vote with their wallets for what they can afford.

Everyone would like a Tesla model geewiz with zero emissions, but what they can afford is a 30 year old shitbox that burns as much oil as it does gas. They'd love to buy your supergreen organic carbon neutral groceries, but they can afford pb&j and ramen. They'd love to buy widgets made by fat happy employees that earn a living wage in a 100% renewable powered factory, but they can afford chinesium widgets made in a smelly ass factory that dumps it's waste out the back door full of workers paid a dollar a week...

People can't afford for their needs to dictate how society is structured. The structure of society dictates the needs of a huge majority of people. The exact inverse of what you're suggesting is what the simple reality is.

Just go back to cigarettes and pay the fucking taxes ffs... vaping is becoming the sole purview of those willing to do the legwork and sort out how to build and mix everything from scratch, and the rest are doomed to be sacrificed on the altar of government revenue streams.
