I've been eating those lunchbox sized Peperami's for so long that, having gone back to the original Peperami i feel like I've just commited an act of public indecency.
  • Yep, the big 'uns feel sinful, but if you shout "Turn away, Jesus!" before you eat it, it's ok.

    Oh, and Aldi's Meatsters are superior to Pepperami in every way.

  • The science is clear. So why can’t governments agree on vaping?
  • There are numbers to back it up, in the study I linked. Is 10 times less not significant?

    The primary harm from cigarettes doesn't come from the nicotine, it comes from all the other toxic chemicals released by combustion, which aren't present in the aerosol exhaled from a vape.

    Nobody is claiming it to be 100% safe (what is?), but it's not even in the same ballpark of harm as smoking is.

  • Which bit is false?

    From the first link:

    The key finding of this study is that e-cigarettes emit significant amounts of nicotine but do not emit significant amounts of CO and VOCs. We also found that the level of secondhand exposure to nicotine depends on the e-cigarette brand. However, the emissions of nicotine from e-cigarettes were significantly lower than those of tobacco cigarettes.

  • Saying that vapes are dangerous is misinformation at best. Vaping got you off smoking cigarettes (congrats btw), which are far more dangerous. Yes, you may have consumed more nicotine, but you didn't consume any of the other thousands of toxic or even carcinogenic chemicals present in cigarette smoke.

  • The science is clear. So why can’t governments agree on vaping?
  • An adult should be able to do whatever the fuck they want, as long as it doesn't impact other people. Vaping doesn't emit any carcinogens or toxic substances, and 10 times less nicotine than smoking does. At the end of the day, vaping does far less harm than smoking, and it's easier to reduce the amount of nicotine consumed with vaping. Nicotine also has health benefits, such as slowing down the onset of Parkinson's.

    If teenagers are vaping then that's an enforcement issue, but at the same time I would be less worried if I found a vape in my kid's bedroom than a packet of cigarettes. Teenagers will experiement with substances. Nicotne vapes are way down the list of ones I would be worried about.

  • Smoking kills 8 million people worldwide every year. I think it's worth pushing the alternatives.

  • Google's interpretation of Apple's AirDrop, Nearby Share, is now officially out of beta for Windows.
  • Just think, somebody probably got paid to come up with that name. How do I get that job?

  • What's an innocent misconception about your hobby/profession that drives you up the wall?
  • I usually don't care about typos as long as the message gets across, but for some reason the too/to mix up really gets me riled up. I instinctively get cross and have to tell myself to chill tf out
