“Unusual intervention” in the headline threw me off—sure it’s unusual but is it unusual for Trump?

What happened to her face?

That’s great, but I’m not addressing people who don’t want to quit. I’m explicitly addressing those who push others to quit by changing nicotine delivery methods.

My opinions are backed by research-based evidence, not some “common knowledge,” bullshit excuses about “cutting back” and just switching to another nicotine delivery method.

For fuck’s sake, do I need to bookmark everything I read? Why don’t you figure out the facts and stop parroting a bunch of bullshit? “YoUR iNpUt pROviDEs nO vALue 🥴” as if encouraging people to switch nicotine delivery methods is productive for quitting.

This is why I fucking hate paying federal taxes in California. They want to tax me 34% so they can kidnap people, start wars, etc.

This result has my stomach turning. What disgusting, abhorrent people stand for this?

🤣 Wow, overreact much?

I’m not going to sit here and pretend continuing using nicotine is the solution to quitting nicotine. I’m not saying it’s the same for all drugs (caffeine and alcohol should be quit gradually) but nicotine is totally different.

I’ve quit so many times in the past where just one cigarette or one puff on a vape was enough to restart the entire process again. I have the experience to actually confirm that—but it’s not even just me who says that. Check out whyquit.com or read studies about nicotine withdrawal if you don’t believe me.

But yeah, I’m just a pedantic asshole. And you’re just another fucking Lemmy user that thinks they know everything. Get fucked.

I’m so pissed I’ll probably not vote next time!! 🥴

I very much agree but can I just say any time they do a symbolic gesture 90% of Lemmy loses their shit too?

Yes exactly. Continuing any kind of nicotine keeps you addicted to nicotine.

I wasn’t forced to vape, I was pretty addicted to nicotine so that’s the only reason I switched to vaping.

Continuing nicotine, regardless of type keeps you addicted longer. It’s stupid to suggest vaping as a way to quit smoking—I might as well tell you to chew nicotine gum all the time.

I quit vaping just four months ago. I switched from smoking when I moved to another city where smoking on public property is illegal. Vaping only caused me to continue nicotine use for about five more years at a much more constant rate.

I just seriously doubt that vaping helped you to quit.

This is very fucking evil.

Maybe three days? I can’t stand not showering.

College students with sports cars: I assume they’ll be in debt forever.

This is so stupid that I’m just outright blocking you.
