Quoting Poindexter Fortran to Gary Gordon <=-
I never tried smoking. I watched peers in my younger days smoking and thought they looked cool but I just never tried it.
Road trips in the '70s with two parents who smoked turned me off.
They claimed they'd open the window a crack and all of the smoke would
be sucked out. Didn't work as planned.
Later on, my father contracted emphysema, and that helped turn my
kids off of smoking.
They see smoking as harmful, but apparently vaping is just stupid.
People tend to think of 'vaping' as safe, but it's not safe.
'E-liquid' or 'e-juice' or 'vape juice' is what the devices use to
vaporize for you to breathe in. E-liquids are not just water, they
contain some nasty chemicals.
They contain flavoring, nicotine, propylene glycol and glycerin.
Some also include chemicals that cause cancer such as acrolein,
diactyl and ethylene glycol. Some have THC derivatives, vitamin E
acetate, heavy metals (tin, lead, nickel and cadmium).
These are all tiny particles that can get deep into your lungs.
I'm no one to talk, as I smoked cigarettes until I was 27 years
old, but the stuff in these vaping devices sounds pretty nasty to
me. (I'm not a chemistry expert)
Makes me wonder how it will affect the younger peoples health in
the future. But c'est la vie. People will do what they will do.
