funny how carcinogenic cigarettes are somehow marketed as "safer" than vapes, which everyone can agree is vastly more safer than traditional smoking. Ask any ex smoker who has switched to vapes.

Problem with healthcare being a right is you can't force people to care for you. Health funds and staff shortages will lead to more intrusive laws against unhealthy choices. They will come for the fats next.

history

[@blyt5046]

People under the age of 18 shouldn’t vape any more than they should be drinking. I quit smoking and have been vaping for eight years. My lungs are clear and I do not have cancer I don’t even have to get an x-rays on my lungs anymore. I don’t cough anymore. It helped me quit smoking and I’m a full grown adult I’m not a child. I don’t know why they keep making these videos about vaping. Children shouldn’t do things that they’re not supposed to. nicotine hasn’t caused cancer on its own nicotine with tobacco and tar lit up and burnt is what causes the cancer, because tobacco causes cancer there’s no tobacco in a flavored vape

Yea it’s got metals in it instead of tobacco

Similar to the vested interests behind climate and plastic pollution misinformation (fossil fuel companies and all the by-product manufacturers basically)

[@sheavague7058]

Yeah exactly. Corporate media's coverage of Syrian earthquake is because oil and US occupation.
