Another stupid drug prohibition is being ushered into law before your very eyes and no one is interested in stopping it? How do you think we ended up with so many other dumb drug prohibitions? Would anyone support an Australian politician who proposed making alcohol ‘prescription only’? KingEup fucked around with this message at 05:27 on Mar 5, 2024 |

Cigarettes are bad, but at least they stink, which acts as a kind of protection. Vapes might be less bad, but they're still bad, and they don't have that stinky protection, which makes them a different kind of dangerous. We shouldn't make toxic things nice and present them like candy to children. We're on the way to reducing smoking with those rising age-limit things anyway. e - KingEup posted:Would anyone support an Australian politician who proposed making alcohol ‘prescription only’? If it was as widely addictive and non-fun as vaping is, then yeah probably

KingEup posted:What does ‘widely addictive mean’? So coffee too then? Widely addictive means that it only takes a little taste for most users to become hooked. Kind of like coffee I guess. But most people can get by with like one or two coffees a day, the "withdrawals" are a different order of magnitude, it doesn't require mining lithium etc, and it's not as bad for the health.

So vaping has replaced a significant potion of smokers. The smoking trendline was already in decline, but the massive decrease in the last few years seems to have coincides with a massive increase in vaping. From a harm minimisation perspective that's great, but we shouldn't stop there, we should work to remove or at least limit the risk as much as possible. Don't get me wrong, the war in drugs is stupid and counter-productive, and I fully support the decriminalisation of all drugs. But that doesn't mean we should legalise and promote them. A ban on the importation and advertisement of vapes is sensible, tackling kids over possession is cop behaviour.

Bucky Fullminster posted:Widely addictive means that it only takes a little taste for most users to become hooked. Your understanding of the science is incomplete. Nicotine is a drug of dependence. However, nicotine, when it is self administered in tobacco smoke has a different pharmacology to nicotine delivered independently of it: I encourage you to read the entire paper: https://web.archive.org/web/20190220231122id_/http://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/2996/16bd08991b4be42421e22361df00ab3338ae.pdf Nicotine vaping is: “vaping is in fact much less addictive than smoking” https://www.qmul.ac.uk/media/news/2...by-smoking.html quote:Vaping as a Cause of Nicotine Addiction

Bucky Fullminster posted:Cool, just quit then I don’t think you understand the subject matter. ‘Addiction’ is a term used to describe a relationship or involvement with something that persists despite functional impairments and harm. That is why we don’t, in a clinical setting, describe people who are caffeine dependent as ‘addicted’. They are simply dependent and may not want to quit. They may, however, be diagnosed with a substance use disorder if their relationship with substance persisted despite serious harm, like Larry here for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI7FkBoDxx4

Vaping is fine (smoking stinks but I wont stop you doing it) and idgaf what people want to put into their body but I do take issue with using finite resources like lithium and rare metals to make disposable vapes and just throwing them on the ground. There is some models around that even have a USB-C port for recharging yet you cant actually refill them with juice. NZ vapes seem to have got it right. Make them olive drab packaging and tax them like cigarettes. one of my more spergy mates has collected all the batteries out of every vape hes ever bought and made them into a small battery pack for his e-bike. e: we should allow vaping inside so that venues without smoke machines can actually have some decent atmosphere for musicians.

If nicotine patche, lozenges and gum didn’t exist there might be more of a case for vaping, but those existing things do exist and are safer than heating and inhaling a fine mist of something mixed and packaged by the lowest bidder. “VALI was all to do with one vape product ingredient” isn’t really that strong an argument. Even if we assume that most vape ingredients fall into the category of “stuff other than air and water vapour that you can safely inhale with no long-term consequences”, who knows when some manufacturer will put something noxious in there again? When it comes to stone benchtops I hope we can all agree that the lung health of 20-30-year-olds trumps commercial concerns. Why not then with vaping?
