Those reports are propaganda. They ARE harmless and the long term effects have been studied for nearly a century. People say 'not enough study on the long term effects' because they are uninformed. To clarify, there are three ingredients: nicotine is about as harmful as caffeine and well-tested, vegetable glycerine is known to be harmless (beneficial, actually - they pump its vapor into the lungs of sick newborns) also well-tested, and the last ingredient is the same flavors you inhale when you smell dessert baking. Inhaling these things is not new, all that is new is the portability (because of lithium battery technology). Nobody should take up vaping with nicotine from scratch, but all smokers should transition to it. (Nicotine harms adults about as much as caffeine, but is notably harmful to developing brains; so no kids or pregnant women should touch it. What harms grown smokers has never been the nicotine, even Nicoderm knows that.)
I'd be willing to bet the "cause" of cancer is the additives to tobacco. We have nicotine receptors for a reason, it actually causes a flushing reaction in the body. If you grow your own I'm sure you'd be fine.
surprisingly to most people, it’s the tobacco plant that has harmful chemicals and heavy metals. You are exposed to them when you burn and inhale the smoke of the the leaves. The tobacco plant itself attracts the radioactive isotopes of lead and cadmium etc as its growing. it’s similar to how the sunflower plant works which the Russians used to decontaminate chernobyl after the accident.
So basically you are filling your lungs with tar and radioactive nano particles when you smoke. The average smoker is exposed to more radiation than astronauts. That’s why they tend to get cancer.
So if the tobacco is grown organically, naturally, in clean soil, it would not have any heavy metals? Like from weird fertilizers, pesticides etc?
Yes, logically, it would most likely be far less if it was grown in an environment that was largely free of those things.
Nailed it
So, sunflower seeds fed to birds and the packaged ones sold to humans may contain the radioactive isotopes as well?
I don't think it concentrates in the seeds but does in other parts of the plant it does.
This is quite factinating, thanks for the info. I agree that smoking it is not the best choice. I believe it does have many medicinal purposes, primarily as a salve.
Says your science degree or what? People have used tobacco for 1000s of years. Cancer has been prevalent for what, about 100? So what about this plant kills you, exactly? Here is a hint...the FDA tells you it's bad...And They also approved the covid jab. We have nicotine receptors for a reason, and I don't think that reason is to kill us.
Wait, vaping has been studied for a century?
Yes, each of the ingredients in their liquid and vapor phase have been studied for a century and found harmless (except the minor nicotine concerns I mentioned). Vaping was designed to be safe, and so was built around safe ingredients. To be clear, I'm talking about regular vaping (nicotine e-liquid) - I can't speak to vaping weed or other random crap people have been experimenting with.
Yes, liquid and vapor, but that's not how people smoke cigarettes, you're being purposefully naive on this.
Who cares how they smoke cigarettes? Smoking kills. But when they vape, it is liquid that is vaporized into vapor, a vapor whose ingredients do not chemically interact and whose ingredients have been well-tested individually for almost a century.
Then why do I get all these ads that repeatedly berate vaping for being toxic? "Metal, in your lungs!"
Damn, even being awake it's difficult to find truth in this fubar world.
I've been vaping weed and it's okay I guess.
I remember a web MD article noting the fact that smokers were hospitalized less than non smokers from COVID and they thought it had something to do with the nicotine 🤷♀️
Interesting considering when vape first came out I was mid thirties and decided to quit smoking and start vaping. Six months later in the summer months I was hospitalized with blood clots in my lungs.
All tests came back inconclusive on how the clots came to be. The ONLY thing in my life that was different was the vape.
Needless to say I quit vaping and started smoking again. Neither are good for you but now im.on blood thinners for life.
