Comment on My poor tapeworm

  No idea, check with your doctor if you get a tapeworm lol, id assume it’s different for everyone and size/growth age as well.

  It’s like “tobacco is the number 1 cause of lung cancer”

  But if you exclude tobacco from the product, the results are the same/similar. (Shown in many studies tied to vapes)… Which means tobacco likely isn’t the root origin, it’s just foreign material in the lungs giving cardiovascular issues.

  I couldn’t prove pumpkin seeds have no effect or great effect, I’m a food on the Internet

    That’s not exactly true though, we have countless studies showing that inhalation of particulate matter is bad for your lungs.

    Tobacco smoke has an outsized impact. We don’t have the wealth of data on vaping to even compare the two yet.

    Cannabis users and Tobacco users do not share statistics, whether this is because of frequency of use is debated.

    We know wood smoke is worse than them both.

    Foreign material in lungs bad but the type of foreign material matters when it comes to the cancer bits.

      Doesn’t chewing tobacco related cancers suggest it’s the tobacco as well?

        Yes. Tobacco itself suggests it’s the tobacco, that’s my point.

        We have a lot of data on inhaled toxins, and we know tobacco bad.

        Not as bad as wood smoke, but you don’t typically light up a stick and smoke it, as humans we also do our best to vent wood smoke out. Like innately we get this.
