    How can you talk about “ignoring science” while making claims like “inhaling chemicals into your lungs is just clearly a bad idea?” You may want to look up a basic definition of “chemical.”

    Just because someone in the medical field conducts a study and publishes it doesn’t mean they’re correct or that their findings should automatically be taken as truth. That’s literally what science is, questioning everything. Medical science also told us that the cure for mental illness was to scrape out parts of people’s frontal lobe or shock their brain with thousands of volts of electricity and we can see how that turned out.

    Nicotine usage is such a polarizing topic that gets lots of money flowing in from both sides with both sides expecting favorable results, so I absolutely take every one of these studies with a grain of salt.

              Yes they do and every test ends up saying bad things, do you disagree? I would love to see the tests that show that vape products are not bad for you. Please link me.

              But to be clear, I’m not telling you not to do it… We all do things that are bad for us. My point is people often say vaping is perfectly fine, and they know it’s not. Is it better or worse than cigarettes? I don’t really see how that has to do with it. You either do it or you do not do it.

              Just say to me, “ I understand this company selling me this product is interested in me becoming addicted to this product, and does not actually have any concern about the chemicals that go into my body. I do this because I enjoy it, and it is my body” …. And I will completely agree with you

                  It’s true, thank you, we shouldn’t really be inhaling things. I’m not trying to criticize drug use – you do what you want to do and that’s fine with me… But the inhalation of anything that’s not prescribed by a doctor is very dangerous. As far as weed is concerned, you can eat it. Nicotine comes in mints and gums, for people trying to quit cigarettes. But nicotine in general is a drug that nobody should be using for any purpose at all. Nicotine has no benefit.

                  And if anyone is reading this comment and thinking that nicotine helps you with your stress, I very much understand. You should ask your doctor about propranolol, which is a very low dose blood pressure medication that can assist with anxiety and all of those “I need a cigarette,“ kind of things.

                  Note:

                  If you are struggling with insurance issues, you can get 90 day supplies of propranolol pretty easily through a clinic or through one of those online clinics. If for some reason you are not able to Locate any of those services, if you are in the United States, please reach out to me directly through private message and I can help you find a solution.

            Perfect logic here. Everything must be dangerous because it has “chemicals” and isn’t well tested. Have you done a scientific study on the chemicals you breathe such as your local air supply? It’s definitely dangerous unless you have and I suggest you stop inhaling it until you do.
