The ruling is more about whether or not the antibacterials provide any value for home use. The fact that they are now found in the environment in detectable quantities and that studies have shown them to be able to select for other antibiotic resistances is not in question.

This isn’t unique to tractors though. Intel and AMD do the same thing with processors. It is much cheaper for them to operate one physical production line for all the processors in a family then use firmware to limit the specs. They need to be able to service both the budget and performance markets to maximize…

The glycol and glycerine are just carriers that nicotine dissolves in and vaporize easily. The exhaled vapors are the same as inhaled minus whatever nicotine is absorbed by the body. The actual amount of liquid or total weight of glycol/glycerine vaporized per hit is very minute. The exposure to second hand would…

That is the idea. The chemistry is far easier to study without such a vast array of molecules being thrown so much heat. Where the studies lack (due mostly to time) is whether it is even safe to inhale such high concentrations of propylene glycol or glycerin for years on end. We know there isn’t immediate danger due…

Incorrect. The most harmful part of cigarettes is the fact that when you burn an organic compound (plant) the chemical reactions that happen are numerous forming all sorts of byproducts. The thousands of chemicals found in cigarettes are not put there in a factory, they are created by numerous thermal decomposition…
