Not only that, but governments didn't do jackshit about vaping, all around the world. At least classic tobacco smoking is decreasing, finally there was a chance to make it disappear in a generation or two, and make the tobacco companies die. But no - instead the world just let recreational vaping spread like wildfire.


What's wrong with vaping?


Vaping is way less harmful than smoking.

See e.g. the study [0] conducted by Public Health England that concludes vaping is at least 95% (!) less harmful than smoking.

See also this video [1] that shows graphically the different impact it has on the lungs.

But even this "independent study" seems to acknowledge the difference between recreational vaping, and using vape as a tool to stop smoking.

Do you believe everything that's on TV, or are you just a run of the mill tobacco company shill?

The only reason I want to live until 2050 is to see the lawsuits that will mirror the smoking lawsuits from the early 90s. (But this time they will be lead by Instagram and TikTok influencers - not that it will take any of the value)


Fuck that shit, really, fuck it. One of the aspects I hate about Europe is cigarettes, vaping and weed everywhere.

You can't be outside without breathing that shit. Switzerland being one of the worse offenders where we have basically all the HQ lobbying politicians (others being health care insurances, pharma and banks).

And let's just bury the whole Asia continent on that topic.


Don't come to Serbia, as we still allow smoking inside in bars, clubs and even restaurants!


You should avoid NY at all costs
