The science is clear. So why can’t governments agree on vaping? - eviltoast

    ‘Vaping is negative except compared to smoking.’

    ‘Oh yeah well what about compared to smoking?!’

    … ibid.

      I don’t think anyone is arguing vaping is a good thing, and nor was I. It would be rather foolish to do so.

      I was only giving my perspective at how it has been better for me and many others in my life.

      🤷‍♀️

        A guy in another subthread just told me to kill myself for saying nicotine is bad, actually.

        The endless reiteration of ‘but! vaping! beats! smoking!’ is a great big ‘who asked?’ at best. I know. I said that, first. It was the first thing I said, in the root comment. It is the opposite of news, and simply not relevant.

        That positive is not the negative I’m pointing out - as a response to the insistence there are no negatives.
