Comment on My poor tapeworm
prettybunnys@piefed.social 1 day agoThat’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.

Sorry I guess I missed that in your comment.
Do you think venting wood smoke is innate, or because we’ll die from CO poisoning if we don’t and humans could tell each other not to light a fire in an enclosed space since we’ve been able to communicate.

I think it’s innate insomuch as if you put someone unfamiliar with fire and smoke into a room with smoke they’d try to escape the smoke realizing it’s what’s causing them to struggle to breath.
We “innately” can equate the two.
