I congratulate Max on quitting smoking. Truly! And I think there are more people like him than anyone realizes, using nicotine BECAUSE IT HELPS THEM.
The problem is that public health has demonized nicotine so thoroughly they've blinded themselves to health benefits.
I am more than a little concerned that recent events have made it necessary to revisit @Clive_Bates' Substack, "The Worst Idea in the History of Tobacco Control".

“Our youth vape at twice the state average,” said Jonathan Hirsch, a local educator [and liar]. “Vapes today have 30 times the nicotine than a pack of cigarettes”
@Vapingit
@Vapingit@marinij 1 vape = 250 packs
Let's see...
One of those 50,000 puff vapes costs ~$25.
250 packs would cost ~$2,500.
You can save ~$2,475 just by buying a vape instead of cigarettes!
It's far less harmful, too!
Win win!
😄
A look back via @slsatel from 2⃣0⃣1⃣5⃣:
"In the U.S., the CDC and the California Department of Health have assumed the role of Big Brother, effectively telling smokers they might as well keep puffing because e-cigarettes are hardly any safer. Talk about an Orwellian inversion statement!"
2015, people.

Hi, @marinij!
We just received your creative, factually incorrect and highly misleading submission from your article where Jonathan Hirsch unscientifically stated:
"Vapes today have 30 times the nicotine than a pack of cigarettes"
🚨We can only assume Jonathan intended to claim it replaces 30 packs of cigarettes.
Below are the highest exaggerations we've ever received and remain the 1st and 2nd place winners so far for reference!
Is your 🫵 outlandish estimate worthy of submission to the ongoing unscientific list?
👍Keep trying!

Maybe it's just me, @OnStar, but offering in-car streaming so you can wreck your car and finish the movie while waiting for emergency assistance feels like a full-circle experience.
If airbags smell like popcorn.......
@Vapingit@OnStar Yeah, what is the message here??
It used to be, "Driving needs your full attention."
They're so busy pushing the privacy-crushing gimmicks, while not enough cars are driving themselves yet.
One tech distracts you, while another tech reports your bad habits to your insurance. 🤨
@ChaunceyGardner@Vapingit@SeismicPirate That’s what I was thinking. They get immediately skewered, and with big, fluorescent receipts, by anyone with any knowledge of vaping, or humanity.
