Comment on Do millennials keep looking significantly more youthful than previous generations?

  Gen Z is addicted to vaping: www.chestnet.org/…/gen-z-is-hooked-on-vaping Gen A is a bit young, but the older Gen As are included in the stats and follow the exact pattern as Gen Z.

  As for how bad vaping is, is a bit more difficult, as it’s a more recent thing than smoking is. But indications are it’s better than smoking but it’s far from safe. This site had a good overview with sources: healthline.com/…/is-vaping-worse-than-smoking-cig…

    Depends on what you’re vaping, I’d imagine different chemicals would vary greatly.

    However nothing beats the OG vaped chemical O~2~ , nothing is going to beat the things our lungs are designed for.

      What really bakes my noodle is that our lungs are more meant to expel CO2 than inhale O2. I even had my great doctor talking about my heart slamming because I was low on blood, therefore O2. I never argue with docs, but we don’t have oxygen sensors, only “holy shit that’s too much carbon dioxide!” sensors.

        Yeah I remember thinking this was why oxygen is the most humane way to perform assisted suicides.

        Always a devisive topic but for a persons body to not know it is about fall asleep and die… Just seemed a logical starting point.

        For I mean biologically speaking, having to breath and eat from the same whole is pretty annoying. We need to bioengineer humanity away from this entire active respiratory system nonsense.

        I’m tired of being a damn gas exchange /s
