Yeah I did a major eye roll with that. I can see using the fact that she’s a woman when it comes to debating about paid maternity leave, reproductive rights, getting rid of the wage gap and other issues that primarily affect women, but using it as a reason for why she is not in the establishment was some very apparent…

Am I allowed to not like her because of her policy positions and a feeling that she isn’t really as progressive as she tries to present herself? Because honestly, I don’t. I’ll still vote for her if she’s the nominee (because oh my god may lightning strike me if I ever vote GOP), but yeah.
Krugman drives me especially crazy, as he’s spent the last eight years saying that all of Obama’s mistakes were trying to compromise too much and mocking those who thought that he could bend even further backwards, but is now saying we should support Clinton because she’ll compromise.
Can we knock it the fuck off with the ‘Sander’s supporters are naïve and think he’s magic socialist Santa Claus who will enact his entire platform with a wave of his magic wand’ narrative? Seriously. Like, we fucking understand political reality. We know that a good portion of Sander’s platform is going to be…
Because people are a bunch of whiny entitled bitches.
I wish people like you would get Educated. The British government just released a study that they did internally that says it’s 94-96% safer then traditional cigarettes. Every News report out there linking Vaping to things like popcorn have all been quickly debunked. Go out and search for the facts yourself don’t just…
The British government and our NHS seem to think there is evidence, even to the point of declaring it 95% safer than cigarettes. I’m not saying for absolute sure that they’re right, but you might be interested in perusing the PDF of their report.
That’s great and all but there are hundreds of doctors in Great Britain who disagree.
Yeah I kinda hate how much people are trying to portray vaping as the next big evil thing. It’s soooo much better than smoking, and an actual viable method of quitting for people who’ve struggled with quitting in the past.
The problem is in the research methodology. In every study I’ve read so far (I make an effort to keep up), the only times they find dangerous levels of carcinogens is when they are “doing it wrong”. For example, I read a study a few months back “proving” that vaping is harmful. But they had the vape temperature turned…
It is pretty sweet looking. It’s not super flashy. A little understated. Slightly steampunk.
That moment you realize you are old. Men you had crushes on as a teen can be described as distinguished.
It is most definitely a tool for smoking cessation. No argument there!
No, there is PLENTY of evidence that says it’s safer, and people have been using propelyne glycol like this for years in smoke machines and no one thought it was a problem. AGAIN, the people that use it can tell you how it’s safer. Do I think it should be made more safe? And that there be actual regulations on it?…
I think if you are already is a smoker, it’s definitely a safer alternative. However, if you are a non-smoker, it certainly isn’t a safe habit to take up. Saying it’s safe isn't true but saying it’s not any safer than cigarettes is just as untrue.
I can only speak from personal experience, but it seems safer, at least. I smoked for 14 years and had a chronic cough, constant headaches (probably from the coughing), sore gums, and my skin was always breaking out, but also weirdly dry. A few months after I switched to vaping, all of that went away. I have to hope…
NO, it’s NOT still smoking. It’s vaping. I agree that doing it indoors in a public space is still bad but it’s literally NOT smoking, that’s the whole point.
It definitely is safer, you can feel it in your lungs. Now, I agree that it isn’t “safe” but it’s objectively “safer”, EVEN with the propelyne glycol nonsense.
