Firstdog OnthemoonToday's cartoon is about vaping. In the cartoon I suggest vaping is "bad for you" and hilarious hijinks ensue. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/feb/03/vaping-its-bad-and-not-just-because-tiny-children-are-doing-it
Phil Scoie@firstdogonthemoon Vaping got me off tobbaco after 50yrs I swear by them,my gp put me onto them 7 yrs ago told me they were98% less harmfull than tobbaco
@Philipnschofield good for you phil
felix@firstdogonthemoon like others have said, vaping got me off tobacco after decades. This cartoon is a facsimile of "LSD and weed are destroying the kids... banhammer banhammer banhammer". It also doesn't mention the effect that tobacco has had on indigenous people and the lives being saved by vape. Fancy that.
Dean Lewis🧋@firstdogonthemoon this is why The Reason Party moved further down my list. No idea if their position on vapes has shifted since Safran's "Puff Piece" book.
zgred@firstdogonthemoon ah yes, manufacturing consent for controlling adults and their bodies by once again running around and crying "THINK ABOUT THE KIDS!!11"
JudeNungaWow , can't believe the ignorance in your cartoon, lol coming so soon after you pushing the use of cannabis to provide tax revenue for gov't.
I'm very much a lefty, a progressive person, I'd even say an idealist, but I can no longer recognise those who say they are progressive these days.
I vape, and have done for 10 years now. It allowed me to quit the tobacco smokes. It helps me deal with anxiety, and is a far safer way to do this than alcohol or other drugs, and orders of magnitude safer than smoking, tobacco or cannabis.
So sad what some on the "left" have turned into. So sad.
Looking for explanations…@firstdogonthemoon A guy I was sitting next to went to the loo 5 times on a 3 hour flight. He looked hungover but didn’t smell of alcohol. We chatted towards the end & at one point he sucked a vape in a guilty fashion. Nicotine withdrawal? Using proper prescription vapes to stop smoking is one thing. Selling high nicotine content vapes to children & mature addicts is another.
