@Adamnogender @Algore09algor @jkelovuori @ChaunceyGardner I've seen it already.
I wasn't impressed the first time.
I told you that.
And you continue to "hard sell" abstinence to me, as if you're trying to save my soul.
You really don't get it, do you?

@RooodCanadian @Algore09algor @jkelovuori @ChaunceyGardner That link provides not only useful but interesting information. If you ever want to take a closer look into it then it is there as an additional option. More options equal more freedom :)

New Study: Nicotine vapes are not as dependence-forming as cigarettes. Who knew? The authors are VERY good scientists, but continue to use the 1990s-era stigmatizing term "addictive."
"Addiction among vapers appears to be lower than that observed among smokers."

@Adamnogender @Algore09algor @jkelovuori @ChaunceyGardner No, you kept querying it until it gave you want YOU wanted to see.
Grok is pretty proficient at placating people that way. 😆
English
@RooodCanadian @Algore09algor @jkelovuori @ChaunceyGardner Yes, as per the link I added to this thread Grok got it very wrong to begin with. I interpreted this as a mix of compiled general knowlege and industry funding. So, I kept asking relevant questions until it came to an accurate and useful answer. :)
English
@Adamnogender @Algore09algor @jkelovuori @ChaunceyGardner I said it was easy, and that I make the choice to keep it around. I don't have "withdrawal" any more than if I skipped coffee for the week.
Your take on nicotine is quite lacking.
You're like a zealous parishioner, who's convinced I somehow "need The Lord in my life".
English
Yes and you must feel really grateful and relieved as a result :) Do you know that the half life of nicotine is only about half an hour? You can go many hours without it with only a mild withdrawal (ie at night it drops nearly 100%). So just stop now! Also being clear that whatever apparent benefit is really nothing other than the relief from hanging out for it. Just try and see what happens. You might find it surprisingly easy :)
English
@Adamnogender @Algore09algor @jkelovuori @ChaunceyGardner We all know where Grok gets its answers.
We've read every one of the "studies" it always cites ("independent" or not). They all use speculation as "scientific evidence", and embarrass themselves in the end.
Like you're doing right now. 🙄

@Adamnogender @Algore09algor @jkelovuori @ChaunceyGardner I shifted from chain-smoking a cocktail of toxins, to vaping one harmless element of it without any urgency now.
I leave my vape behind often, and I function quite well without it. It's like a cup of coffee.
Vaping isn't hard to "quit".
I only kept it on for the benefits.
English
@RooodCanadian @Algore09algor @jkelovuori @ChaunceyGardner Did you not shift from smoking nicotine to vaping nicotine?
English
@Adamnogender @Algore09algor @jkelovuori @ChaunceyGardner "...still a considerable public health risk."
Still waiting for any credible evidence that this reckless statement has any basis in reality.
Where are all the bodies that justify this type of persistent, fanatical "health advice"?
English
Im not saying they work for everybody but they do work for a good percentage of many different types of people. Vaping is still a considerable public health risk so promoting ways to easily stop are valuable. Whether or not people take it is fine. If such knowledge is more widely know then it would help more of those who want it
English
@Adamnogender @Algore09algor @jkelovuori @ChaunceyGardner I'm definitely not "hooked on vaping". 🤣
Jeez, you just get more ridiculous, as you speak to someone you don't know, continually pressing the idea there's something "wrong" with choosing to enjoy things as they are.
When all you've got is unsubstantiated, ideological "risks".
English
@RooodCanadian @Algore09algor @jkelovuori @ChaunceyGardner Youve quit smoking which is great but are still hooked on vaping. That is still addicted. Offering ways to stop that too is not restricting vapers but providing further options. They can take it or leave it but many wont even look into it because theyre too scared.
English
@Adamnogender @Algore09algor @jkelovuori @ChaunceyGardner Obviously, "experience" doesn't always impart "knowledge".
You have your own ideas, and that's fine.
Doesn't mean they work for everybody, or that they MUST work for everybody, or that anything is "wrong" with someone else's ideas.
That gets into ideology territory.
English
Ive got plenty of experience. I smoked for 15 years and tried many ways to stop including NRT. I then visited a psychologist specialising in smoking cessation and she got me off it quickly and without missing out on it at all. She then showed me the basics and I did if myself for ten years. Maybe someone like myself knows more about it than someone like you who is still hooked?
English
@randyhillier @strauss_matt @Roman_Baber @cherylgallant @PierrePoilievre They're all still protecting the narrative, because all the same people are still in power.
And enough of the ones that dutifully lined up for the jabs are still lining up for them now, justifying the production and keeping the "market" alive.
English
Hey @strauss_matt is there anyone in the Conservatives caucus willing to acknowledge vaccine injuries? Maybe @Roman_Baber or @cherylgallant or even @PierrePoilievre
Insider Paper@TheInsiderPaper
JUST IN - Covid inquiry urges double compensation for those harmed by vaccine The Covid-19 vaccine programme in the UK was a ‘success story’ but those harmed by the jab have been let down, an inquiry has found. Chair of UK Covid-19 inquiry admitted some people have ‘tragically’ died or been harmed by the jab and the current Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme requires ‘urgent reform’ as it is ‘not sufficiently supportive,' Daily Mail reports

@Christy4Change ME: Why are you covering my balls with a lead shield?

@BlondeBigot11 I would argue that the rainbow flag should qualify as a religious symbol.
It certainly doesn't qualify as factual educational material.
English
@rights4vapers At some point, we all have to stop asking each other if certain people in our government are incompetent or compromised, and face the fact that they're ALL COMPROMISED. 😔

Our Latest Substack: According to Health Canada’s data from 2024 5.8% of youth vape that is roughly 36,993 youth in Alberta. Currently 656,000 Adults in Alberta smoke. You figure out her MLA math, because it is not mathing.

@RealMattA_ We all know this is coming.
The question is, what are we going to do about it?

Remember when the Liberal government wanted to censor the internet, in Canada?
Well, they're coming for it again.

@KelliDPowers That depends.
Is the goal to make a crowd of people happy, or induce life-long trauma? ('Cuz I'm okay with either.) 🤣🤣

@BlondeBigot11 @libsoftiktok @againstgrmrs Everything happening right now just reminds me of the fall of Rome.
It's going to get really nasty, before it gets better. 😔

@mrmiley @phil_w888 @BerkEdge I think the same about the "guitar".
Where do people like this even find such paraphernalia?? I've never seen any of these "child-enticing" models in any of my travel.
English
@phil_w888 @BerkEdge Is it me or is the guitar shaped thing a vape (zoom right in and look at the "neck")?

If every single one of my followers took the time to repost this. It could help me and every other vaccine injured Canadian get the compensation we were promised. Don’t let the government hide. @thevivafrei @TamaraUgo @LichTamara @RebelNewsOnline

I have audio of a Public Health Agency of Canada employee saying they are using “real doctors this time.” This time? I called three times. Three different agents. Three completely different answers. How were claims reviewed before without “real doctors”? How were people denied without “real doctors”? Who WERE making those decisions? Who chose them? Why do I have to file a Freedom of Information request just to find out? After years of waiting, now we are told they are starting over? Millions in taxpayer money spent. Gone. Listen to this call. @thevivafrei @Answers4Sean
English
@Algore09algor @Adamnogender @jkelovuori @ChaunceyGardner Adam's obsession with finding any reason for everyone to avoid nicotine is a lot more "distorted" than any "addiction" he's trying to pin on vapers.
Adam needs to talk about things he has more practical knowledge about, and get over himself. 🙄
English
I think we’re going in circles at this point.
You’ve got a very fixed view that there’s one clear answer and that anyone who doesn’t follow it just hasn’t seen it yet or is being held back. I don’t see it that way. People’s experiences with nicotine are varied, and what works for one person doesn’t automatically apply to everyone else.
I’m happy to leave it there.
