Okay you’re right. All people are like the people you’ve seen. I’m just lying, I definitely don’t wash my hands immediately if that happens. Because you know, it makes total sense for me to respond and lie here. Typical moronic Internet response, Jesus Christ.

It’s better than just letting it fly. You can at least wash your hands after (and you obviously should).

Wowwww, somehow that honestly surprises me that even one of these magats could be this blindingly moronic

We get it. You’re a contrarian.

American healthcare is in shambles with maximized suffering due to this EXACT sentiment. You may as well have asked why I care about society.

Also why would you assume I don’t know anyone who will suffer directly from smoking and vaping? I certainly do. I have a relative who died from a stroke that was almost certainly linked to decades of smoking. I have others who already have had health problems from smoking and switched to vaping. Expecting them to realize that is also hurting their health after it’s too late.

You really did not think before you wrote that comment, other than you thought about your right to vape without ever hearing the objective truth about it: that it’s unhealthy.

I never said we need to ban vaping. I said we need to stop pretending it’s harmless. This is exactly what happened with smoking: everyone knew it was bad for them, but people who wanted to believe otherwise minimized the danger of smoking for decades. Let’s not make the same mistake again.

I was fairly sure I’d seen the overall numbers and that they’d risen but of course now I cannot find that. However I found data that supports my main point there which is that loads of kids are vaping and we have good reason to think they’d have avoided cigarettes if vapes weren’t a thing:

From 2011 to 2022, current use of electronic cigarettes:

Increased 667% among middle school students, from 0.6% to 4.6%.

Increased 567% among high school students, from 1.5% to 10.0%. This was a 64% decrease from the peak rate of 27.5% in 2019.

In 2022, more than 825,000 children started using e-cigarettes, or more than 2,200 per day.

but it is not logic based reasoning.

…but “it’s 100x better” is? You literally are pulling a number out of your ass.

Many might switch from cigarettes and save their life.

Yes and many more will/have have started a bad habit they will never stop based on “it’s not even that bad for you”. This is a fact. Nicotine use has risen by scary numbers and it’s well known.

The fact is we have no idea about that number, but we do have confirmation that vaping is not safe. You say “obviously” but I know people constantly are claiming vaping is either safe or way safer. It is not safe, and people really need to deal with that. Many people out there vape in such quantities that they may be harming themselves more than if they smoked, based on this “it’s way better than cigarettes” idea. It’s a false sense of security and we all pay when our friends and family die of lung cancer. We already have the most horrendous healthcare of the free world in America, and this “vaping isn’t so bad” thing makes it even worse by putting a strain on the system and raising costs. We need to dispense with the idea already.

Most people who made it to fifth grade could see how pathetically unscientific and idiotic this fuck is

I’ll have to try that one. I was thinking it was an android browser. Oh well. I only said Vivaldi because I note its lack of AI and it’s available on all the desktop platforms

If you have to use garbage ass Google monopoly-ware, I’d suggest Vivaldi, but I’d recommend even avoiding that one like the plague.

Gotta be one of you slithering into every thread

Hmm we went from ‘does not exist’ to ‘totally different than what I said’. You lied when you claimed it was made up.

I just linked you to evidence that your language is a commonly used anti-semitic dog whistle.

No comment on the substance of that comment then eh?

That is absurdly fucked up on the recruiter’s part. Your response was a good one.
