In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
I’ve got an idea to test this. 1) make a vape flavour that’s literally rubber from a tire, 2) sell it to teenagers, 3) research their health outcomes. /s
But seriously, from my experience with peers, teens would literally vape anything. From cotton candy to ham sandwich flavours, all with nicotine, so many might just get a tire flavour to try out lol
More and more of these studies are done with no measurable change in policy. Then I keep hearing all the "good news" about electric cars picking up more market share globally. Why the hell can't we have more busses and trains instead?
When money drives policy in the U.S. we're never going to put people's health/safety first
If I smash a hammer on my finger it hurts.
