As I recall, the context of those comments was in response to a purported attempt to fast-track any vaccine to be ready prior to the election. The Washington Post appears to have the same recollection [1].

The parent is copy/pasting from the linked press release from Trump which exclusively links to donaldtrumpcampaign.cmail20.com. They know they're arguing in bad faith.

I wasn't overly worried about it, I could always use nicotine gum if I felt I had to.

Please don't try again, I'm not trying to be condescending. If not for yourself, for the people you love. Nicotine addiction is particularly insidious.

Lots of people gave me this advice the few times I was addicted, I ignored them all and simply thought they were talking down to me ("of course, I know it's bad for you", "I can quit whenever I want") so I understand if you interpret it that way. Once you've seen yourself or a loved one go through it and survive (or worse) you have a different reaction, a bit like seeing someone standing on the tracks while a train is approaching. Wishing you good health.

No I can't it was some years ago, in the time when they didn't capture the market yet. You can easliy find them online, just go through related subreddits from around 2016, and watch for studies people are complaining about.

edit: I have just written my comments in good faith. I don't know what distorted view of yourself you have, to expect people will prove something to you.

The onus is on the person making the claim (you) I'm afraid.

> in the time when they didn't capture the market yet

Big Tobacco entered the market around 2012-2013.

Are you assuming that the comment you are replying to is in regard to vaping indoors in public spaces? No reason to do so.

And also, why conflate smoking with vaping? They are completely different in terms of immediate and lingering odor, as well as second hand effects.

LarrySellers · 4 years ago

We shouldn't assume that about the GP, but indoor vaping in public spaces is much common than indoor smoking in the US.

I tried vaping Juul aggressively for a few weeks to try to get addicted. I failed miserably. It just doesn't feel good enough. Zero desire to ever vape again. Very light effects, or more nauseous than anything if you have enough. It is somewhat baffling to me that anyone would find it addictive. I'm not willing to try actual cigarettes for health reasons.

Caffeine is very addictive for me though, and it gives physical withdrawals.

> to try to get addicted

Why?

> more nauseous than anything if you have enough

Enough to poison yourself.

the ones about vaping, when tobacco money paid for the studies it was weird how they always found a lot of danger that people then had to be protected from ... but when you would look at the data you would see they were using it in a way that noone actually used it (like using bad coils and completely overheating them) etc. Really a pure scam but because it's done in the form of 'science' its supposed to be more credible than people's experiences ...

Which studies in specific? Can you cite one?

The tobacco industry is making lots of money off of these and can sell them in flavors that were banned in cigarettes a long time ago (opening up the market to kids again).
