The nicotine vape prohibition is off to a good start https://x.com/bradk87287/status/1764618414906347860?s=61&t=0JZcRltCkkWUPOYIuINbjQ 2 days left to sign the petition for repealing it: https://www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/petition/EN5905 gently caress the drug war. Remember when Vic health and Mark Butler said vapers wouldn’t be targeted? Yeah well that was bs. https://x.com/sandrodemaio/status/1745250711590641853?s=61&t=0JZcRltCkkWUPOYIuINbjQ KingEup fucked around with this message at 19:40 on Mar 4, 2024 |

Senor Tron posted:gently caress these literal candy tubes though, getting a whole new generation of kids into smoking tobacco. The overwhelming amount of evidence indicates that youth vaping has accelerated the decline in youth smoking. There is no evidence of a gateway effect: https://x.com/jonathanfoulds/status/1737144488521343299?s=61&t=0JZcRltCkkWUPOYIuINbjQ What the research actually shows: quote:Studies have found that policies intended to restrict e-cigarette use may have unintentionally increased cigarette smoking. One study associated a Minnesota e-cigarette tax with increased adult smoking and reduced cessation, estimating that taxing e-cigarettes at the same rate as cigarettes nationwide could deter 2.75 million smokers from quitting smoking over a decade.85 Two other studies found state restrictions on minors’ access to e-cigarettes associated with higher adolescent cigarette smoking.86,87 https://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/full/10.2105/AJPH.2021.306416 KingEup fucked around with this message at 02:17 on Mar 5, 2024 |

The Artificial Kid posted:That would be great if vaping were harmless, but it isn't https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7590536/ You are misinformed quote:EVALI was a lung disease resulting in serious illness and premature deaths in North America between mid-2019 and early 2020. It was originally labeled ‘vaping associated pulmonary illness’ (VAPI) [2], but ‘e-cigarette’ was later added to the title by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Canadian health authorities, by contrast, chose the label ‘vaping associated lung illness’ (VALI) [3]. While the CDC’s name includes ‘e-cigarette’, all evidence points towards Vitamin E acetate-contaminated illegal tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) vapes as the cause, and no research has identified any chemicals found in nicotine e-cigarettes as the cause [4, 5]. Vitamin E acetate is not soluble in nicotine e-liquids and has never been detected in nicotine e-liquids [6]. quote:Scientific consensus overwhelmingly holds that nicotine electronic cigarettes (ECs), although not risk-free, are considerably lower risk than combustible tobacco, as they provide a means to inhale nicotine without combustion Captain Theron posted:Has it decreased smoking in total, or has it just shifted some portion to vaping? If you combine smoking and vaping rates, how does that look compared to historical rates?  I would blow Dane Cook posted:I'm sorry but vaping is cringe. It should be banned on that basis alone. quote:Compared with the Status Quo, replacement of cigarette by e-cigarette use over a 10-year period yields 6.6 million fewer premature deaths quote:The substantial increase in e-cigarette use among US adult smokers was associated with a statistically significant increase in the smoking cessation rate at the population level. quote:Studies in both the UK and the US have associated increases in smoking cessation of 10–15% with the use of e-cigarettes.

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 |

Bucky Fullminster posted:Cigarettes are bad, but at least they stink, which acts as a kind of protection. What does ‘widely addictive mean’? So coffee too then? https://x.com/jamomartin/status/1764835134161793097?s=61&t=0JZcRltCkkWUPOYIuINbjQ

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.pdfNicotine 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
