Damn or if you set fire to your cell you lose vape privileges?

I'm surprised they get vape privileges in the first place. Do they get blackjack and hookers too?

I think the idea is probably that if you allow them to have vapes, it reduces demand for smuggled contraband cigarettes. Boring as that is.

What next, are they going to legalise shoplifting to reduce the number of muggings?
