Here is a subject I am not quite understanding.

I am aware of vaping and I and some other guys used the method to quit or reduce smokes and nicotine.


WTF in the last week because like 5 kids died vaping out of 340 million people this week and they had THC in them.

Why does the whole nation freak for less that a hundred people?

Why does the POTUS even take that question?

You're right. They should be treated like shooting deaths. Thoughts and prayers to all those dead vapers.

Derno, I'm not a big time science person like PittMike or Neil DeGegrassi Tyson Junior High but "inhale combusting plastic...deeply, many times a day" sounds like something a youtube comment troll might suggest to someone with whom they disagree.

Turns out heated plastic, metal, and antifreeze weren't much better than all the shit in cigarettes. It sounds like people are inhaling a car accident.

I read it’s the unregulated thc vapes that are predominately the problem.

Causing major respiratory issues in some folks.

well....my older son does it. My step daughter does it. As with most late teen / early twenty somethings, my wife and I are morons and don't know anything.

Politely explaining that inhaling any kind of fume from antifreeze just doesn't seem to be a concern to them. I finally said....You're right....I'm just a grown ass man with an education, a good career, and a decent home. What would I know!

I wonder who could possibly be feeding the public that information. I bet it's not the Juul pod people.

Fact is, vaping is safer than cigarettes.

But are they more dangerous? Again I don't think there is enough info out there on vaping to say for sure one way or another.

It has been around for a long time now. There seems to be some more activism against that is reacting to more recent occurrences of troubles. That leads me to believe that there is a newer reason for illness. Not the "popcorn lung" that has been known about a long time. Either the younger people using these Juul types way more than ever or the THC vapes I would think.

As for cigarettes it is pretty widely documented the additives and misc carcinogens in them. I feel safe thinking they are worse.

In my opinion the really big vape setups that make those giant clouds are quite dangerous due to the batteries exploding. That is known. I haven't heard much about similar with smaller Juul types but there is likely some danger.

I am not a hero for vaping it was just a tool I needed to get away from the cancer sticks or others the snuff etc. I find the recent outrage and stories odd is all. Likely because kids I guess?

Nardi, you really sound like you’re heavily invested in the sanctity of vaping.

Just smoke the green stuff.

When I used to smoke I’d get bad respiratory infections.

People should just stick to cocaine.
