You shouldn’t be able to smoke outside an ER anyway… People come through there with life threatening problems and need all the oxygen they can get
But of course we don't want to poison our child.

Need to be 9m from the doors around here and maybe as smoking gets less and less popular it will change to outside the hospital’s lot like we already do with schools…

Does not help if no one enforces it. About 10 years back we were on vacation and had to rush our little one to the ER. Since it was a breathing issue and the waiting room was crowded, they suggested we wait outside. Sure enough, then we had to get away from the smokers congregating near the “No smoking on hospital grounds” sign.
Of course the personnel weren’t interested in helping to clear that, and we decided people waiting at the ER were already under enough stress

Yeah in my sister’s town the hospital no longer has a smoking area. Some patients run off into the park behind the hospital to have one, and I guess the doctors and nurses just vape in some room instead.

Friendly reminder. THIS is the type of bullshit the boomers grew up with, and see nothing wrong with.
But a 16 year old at Walgreens working register needing to call for a manager to sell cigerettes because she legally can’t? Well that teenager is clearly what’s wrong with society!

You know, before it was scientifically proven that smoking, asbestos, leaded gasoline, heroine, thalidomide/contergan, etc etc were health hazards, people had no reason to believe that those things were unhealthy.
I totally agree that it’s bullshit someone can’t legally sell cigarettes or alcohol while being underage when the recipient is old enough, but believing those things are healthy in a time where it was sold as state of the art or even miracle cures doesn’t really mean boomers are dumb.

“Reduces flesh” is such odd wording. Whose flesh? What flesh?
tal@lemmy.today 5 months ago
What flesh?
I expect this:
en.wikipedia.org/…/Cigarette_smoking_for_weight_l…
Cigarette smoking for weight loss is a weight control method whereby one consumes tobacco, often in the form of cigarettes, to decrease one’s appetite. The practice dates to early knowledge of nicotine as an appetite suppressant.
Carighan@lemmy.world 5 months ago
They mean the nicrotic flesh rotting off later in life, getting a foot or a leg amputated is the fastest way to loose weight after all. Worked a year in a ward for smoking patients, the smell is so haunting…
Moonrise2473@feddit.it 5 months ago
They seem to imply that if instead of eating a snack you have a cigarette, then you’ll lose weight
BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Unreal.

Once someone stops thinking that they should do what the scientific and medical communities advise, it’s not a large step for them to start thinking they should do specifically what they advise against.

Am I an asshole if my first thought was “vaccinate the child while the mother is outside”?
TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 5 months ago
The child is having a fever. It’s not good to vaccinate a sick person.

There’s no test to be a parent. All you have to do is fuck. Creampied by some rando behind a dumpster? Congratulations, the MIRACLE of life.
Human society never really evolves, just rows in circles.

She went outside to smoke, so that’s good at least.
mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
But the child is inside her though(atleast one of them)
ryathal@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
I missed that small detail.
BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Bet she doesn’t at home though.
Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
Yeah, likely right in front of the doors so she makes sure to poison everyone else, too.
The front of my local hospital always has people smoking, and you’ll always be breathing it in if you’re trying to enter the ER or main entrance or parking lot or the park beside it.
Dungrad@feddit.org 5 months ago
Just because you are not allowed to smoke in there. I guarantee she would have smoked indoors otherwise.
Dungrad@feddit.org 5 months ago
This baffles me so often. I have a coworker who is on cigarettes, weed, caffeine, and alcohol. But is not vaccinated, because that’s unhealthy.
Lately he cought me in the office eating sweets and started to educate me how bad sugar is.
You can’t make that shit up.
whoisearth@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
There’s a reckoning coming with social media mark my words. I don’t know when or how but it’s going to reach a tipping point when the destruction is enough.
It is destroying families and communities not government, or science, or policies. People like Elon and Zuckerberg are sowing the seeds that are actively destroying the fabric of society.

I mean, people do tend to eat more sugar than they probably should, but the main artificial sweetener that I see used in candies is xylitol, which is, unfortunately, also a laxative. Eat more than a few xylitol-sweetened candies at one sitting, and one’s in for diarrhea.
I assume that we don’t have an artificial sweeteners in 2024 that both avoids having a laxative effect and has the appropriate properties to subsititute for sugar in candies. I’d be delighted if someone would manage to develop one, though.
arlaerion@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
The laxative properties disappear after a while (a few weeks). Our body accommodates for it so that 200g per day are no big problem anymore.
Dungrad@feddit.org 5 months ago
Good lord. I went to the kitchen to get me a coffee and grabbed a cookie from the snack bar.
Koike@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Xylitol also have interesting properties for preventing tooth decay. Not the worst sugar alternative imo
Spookyghost@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Yes we do, they just arent as cheap.
