Good news for nicotine addicts but Juul devices are re-usable but the pods aren’t which still create a ton of plastic waste.

      Yes but that’s not the nicotine. That’s the smoke and the coffee and the relaxing and all that stuff. Which… yes is how I got started haha. But nicotine itself… nothing good, and lots of bad.

          I eventually went to those mints which are basically nicotine candy. I was eating them like… well, candy. When I quit those, my resting heartbeat went from 80 to ~55.

          But of all the drugs I’ve ever done, nicotine is the only one where I still want it.

            Yeah, you smell that secondhand smoke and no matter how many years it’s been, it’s got that magnetic appeal, like the smell of a nicely seared steak.

              Only if it’s my brand though. I hate the smell of cigarettes, but I can smell a camel light a mile away.

          Paid for by Big Nicotine ya dummy. There is overwhelming evidence to the contrary. But if you look hard enough, you can always find text on the Internet that aligns with the viewpoint that you want to have, regardless of its accuracy

              Caffeine isn’t good for you either, if we want to be pedantic. You can “the fuck,” all you want but showing how a bad thing is like another bad thing doesn’t make it a good thing.

                Did…did you even read any of the links I posted? Apparently not…things aren’t bad just because you say they are… uranium can blow us all up or provide energy for us. The sun… literally is killing us when we go outside, but it grows our food and provides us a habitable temperature to survive in. Why is your brain so black and white…

                  It would be wise to not purposefully sit out in the sun. If you’re going to do it, don’t try to make it sound perfectly fine. I won’t stop you from doing it. Just don’t lie to yourself and everyone around you by saying “but I wear sunscreen, so I can bake out there with no problem.”

                  Own your bad habits lol.

                    You absolutely didn’t get anything from my comment…it has nothing to do about sitting in the sun.
