Comment on Ministers set to ban single-use vapes in UK over child addiction fears
li10@feddit.uk 9 months agoIt does seem like loads of kids vape these days, and rather openly as well.
Disposable vapes should be banned because of the waste, and they should do the blank packaging approach for vapes/vape juice.
Just because it’s better than smoking doesn’t mean it’s good, and nobody really knows the long term health effects.

Not exclusively. Nicotine inhalation traditionally has been in combination with the rest of the chemicals and tar in cigarettes.
Personally… yes? I know some vapers who have been around in the industry for almost 20 years. I’ve heard reports around x-rays of older vapers coming out nearly the same as a nonsmoker.
The real enemy of nicotine inhalation seems to have more to do with what carries it rather than the nicotine itself.

There are absolutely cardiovascular impacts of chronic nicotine use that are independent of any lung issues you'd have from inhalation. That would be true of any drug, and we're well acquainted with the dangers of PAD and increased heart attack and strokes from nicotine use. It's a vasoconstrictor so that makes sense.

Well, Peripheral arterial disease isn't, i think, from vasospasm.
And the effects you point to seem to be acute, rather than chronic.The magnitude and frequency of effects are significant.

That was a fun read. How does it pertain to inhalation of nicotine via propelyne glycol and vegetable glycerin?

We obviously know there are adverse long term effects, because you know, we’re making the shit illegal all over the place…
Long term effects are a lack of yellow shit all over all your stuff and losses in tobacco tax and settlement revenue…
