In before the e-cig vendors, addicts, smokers, pot heads and libertarians show up to call me a nanny-stater for daring to post an article pointing out the health dangers.
Sorry....just sounds gross.
A really, really idiotic article.
The health problems of smoking are associated very largely, though not exclusively, with the byproducts of combustion, not with the nicotine as such.
There are men who sit around the park all day to reach that number
Or as Barry calls it, "A normal trip to the bath-house."
That's the point, fool. You get your dose of nicotine, without all the other harmful by-products of burning organic materials. As to other supposedly "harmful chemicals" the WHO and FDA are warning about - what exactly are they?
nicotine is addictive
duh
nicotine in its purest form will kill on contact I hear
The point is, she isn’t drawing tar into her lungs.
So she’s getting a high dose of one chemical, which is not a carcinogen.
Meanwhile she has stopped getting hundreds of other chemicals, many of which are known to cause bad health outcomes.
Sounds like a great trade
” According to her, I was inhaling the equivalent of 40 fags a day – at least in terms of nicotine “
But she wasn’t inhaling the smoke and tar of 40 cigs a day either....
Just sayin....
I recently spent a day and a half working on a car with a guy...who was vaping on a continuous basis. He was easily doing more than 40 inhales and hour. He put different flavors through it...some smelled pretty good. I know nicotine isn’t jim-dandy for your health...but I never really thought about the implications. Frankly, most people I know who vape do it fairly constantly...I thought that was how you were supposed to do it.
This guy was gainfully employed and a functioning member of society...so I say let him kill himself if he wants to, as long as its not on my dime.
Side note - he was stressed out because his brother had just died. He was a huffer. His chemical of choice - toluene! Insane. Hopefully vaping doesn’t lead to huffing for this guy.
So the idea of two-pack-a-day smokers is cause for a WHO five alarm fret? Wow.
I remember the days when a faggot was a bundle of sticks. And everyone could be happy and gay.
The huffing and puffing about e-cigarettes reminds me of what happens every few years when they try to loosen gambling laws in California. You’ll have anti-gambling ad campaigns by “Citizens for Family Values” that turn out to be funded by Las Vegas casinos.
Hell, I'd be more worried bout AIDS/HIV - must be doing it the safe way - maybe learned from obummer?
Oh, we're talking cigarettes? Hmmm...never mind.
I’ve smoked both analogs and digitals.
I’ve also mixed my own juice with varying levels of success.
e-cigs may be harmful (although, as an aside, you can get them without nicotine) in some ways, but exactly how and to what degree is currently a matter of conjecture.
Analogs are definitely and demonstrably harmful in a myriad of ways.
I’m off both of them now but, IMHO, regular cigarettes are orders of magnitude more unhealthy than a reputable e-cigarette.
If you come for my e-cigarette, you will end up on the bad end of that bargain. My God man, leave me the **** alone, would you?
While I don't smoke and will refuse to foot the health bills of the people who do, the entire concept of "second-hand smoke" is a myth made up by Communists who need an excuse to control our lives. These are the same Communists, mind you, who approve of giving the tobacco industry subsidies while simultaneously putting out anti-smoking PSAs (I guarantee you that nobody has actually quit smoking just because of a PSA). The government's policies make sense when you realize that it's all about controlling the population and establishing a reliable voting base; the purpose of the PSAs is to give jobs to the incompetent dregs of society.
I was a 3 pack/day smoker and have been vaping for years. I am constantly vaping throughout the day.
On very rare occasions I will have a cigarette. That cigarette gives me quite a high. To get that high I must now be accustomed to a lower level of nicotine from the vaping.
I question the 40 cigs a day comparison.
Isn’t nicotine addictive?
Is that news?
