I’m not justifying selling vaping to kids. I’m stating that if a kid wants to smoke, and they’re going to smoke, yet they end up vaping instead, I count that as a “lesser of two evils” scenario. The falloff in smoking has been far more severe since vaping has become popular, regardless of a decline prior to that. I…

I found, from working in a vape shop, the ones who either started off with fruity/desert type flavors or who switched to them in time were the ones who kept coming in and stayed off of cigarettes. I am of the opinion that tobacco flavored vapes are more likely to keep someone smoking, or return them to it than the…

I don’t fully agree with the statment that nicotine is “harmful”, to be honest. No moreso than caffeine, at least, in any study on JUST the chemical without byproducts. It actually affects the brain in incredibly similar ways to caffeine, a drug that isn’t restricted by age or due to capacity for harm. I’m fine with…

That’s also incredibly true, though I find the drop off in teens who smoke to be a more interesting factor, since it means that at least some of them are trying vaping and quitting it, but not smoking, OR turning to vaping instead of smoking. While I’d rather teens do neither until at least the age of 18, I’d…

It only took one time of half a roll on the floor before I went under all the way. Toddlers and even some dogs will do this, too, at times.

They never offer adults dessert at restaurants, right? I mean, adults obviously hate sweet flavors, right? Only kids like them, of course. If you don’t have kids with you they don’t even offer their sweet strawberry cheesecake with extra whip cream, or their sinfully delectable chocolate mousse cake, I’m sure.

Just like kids can’t smoke because it’s illegal, right? I started smoking when I was 14. Most people I’ve met who smoked started well before 18. If they really were just worried about “kids”, then they’d create the regulations that keep them out of the hands of minors, not the significantly ridiculous laws that make 9…

“the difference in attitude is partly because here, unlike in the UK, vaping has caught on among teenagers.”

I live in Ohio and was barely getting into football when the Browns were moved to Baltimore and renamed, so I understand the idea here. It’s especially bad since it soured my taste on football in general. Didn’t help that my local high school football team won 2 games in the 4 years I attended, and were horrible for…

It’s wrong, I know, but I’m now wondering if THAT would actually be illegal. I mean, I think it should be, but I’m not certain that it IS.

“Whether you’ve decided to get wasted or re-enact battle scenes from a short-lived victory...”

The War of 1812 was a minor skirmish in a huge war between Britain and France, one they ultimately won. While we won several battles at the end of the war that we declared (which they only sort of acknowledged), nothing really changed due to the fighting. It was technically a stalemate, and the only thing it really…

This strategy does make the most sense to me as well.

I came here to support this, as it’s exactly what I’ve heard. It definitely takes a lot of agitation to re-form the emulsion, but it can (supposedly) be done. Personally, I’ll toss just the pasta I’m going to eat, and make more sauce later if I’m going to make Alfredo from scratch. It’s best the first time around.…

Right, and I’m saying that $500-1,000 for a GOOD laser printer is completely reasonable for all the features you’re listing off, especially if you want full color (which I’m assuming you do). The reason the one that won this “Favorites” article is as cheap as it is? Monotone and an older model (older doesn’t mean bad,…

I, personally, can’t recommend much anymore since new devices are coming out every year and I’m more familiar with things that are DEFINITELY not in your price range, like full-featured copy/print/scan/bind/etc. devices. I’m just saying, if you start out at $100-150 you’re not going to get all those other features…

For one, if you can wait, since the seasons for Silicon Valley and GoT are so short you could just wait for them to end, fire up your subscription, and watch them in a single week. Saves you $28 right there. Secondly, keeping Hulu around just for Agents of Shield is insane. If that’s the only currently-airing show…

5 years would’ve made it 15 and 19, actually, and considering the number of girls I knew in high school dating guys who were in their early 20's when they were 16, and one girl I knew who dated even further out than that, I’m not shocked by it nor bothered by it. It happened. It’s 5 years later, and they’re still…

This list is like listing off what you’re looking for in the perfect significant other. The price range on top of it is like insisting they’ll have to be the moneymaker in the relationship AND do all the housework. It’s nice to fantasize, but assuming someone else will meet or exceed your expectations based on your…

I mean, I’m sure cameras are a good factor in this as well (and that post was from 4 years ago, so I haven’t really thought about it in a long time), but the original thought was simply that if you’re going to look bad because your drawer is over too far or too often, occasionally pocketing some money would balance…
