The Vaping Epidemic

[Cheesenugget]

My husband smokes cigs and vapes. I don't do either, tried both, never liked it. Smoked pot too. I am still open for pot but I would not pay for it. I never feel the need or desire for this type of hobby, I suppose.

My understanding in life is this: everything is out to kill you, either slowly or acutely. The air you breathe is polluted (man made or otherwise), the food you eat probably has cancer agents or bacteria or whatever (unless you grow your own food and cook the meat thoroughly), and the water you drink probably is contaminated with whatever.

If it is not cigs or vapes, it is something else. The clothes we wear are not exactly chemical free either, or the plastics we use, the list goes on. Regulations are a good thing, but with a good lawyer, you can work around that. Sad to say, laws and rules keep people like me in the legal field working so I can't complain. There are jobs involved, such as those in the factories or marketing. And the government clearly knows all this. The rules are there to please the masses. This is all the same in most societies, it is just the poorer you are, the less likely they need to pretend that they care with less rules, bigger loopholes and less enforcement. Think about it, you are trying to tell someone what to do. How well did it go for you the last time you try to warn someone of the risk of overeating due to health reasons (ie obesity, diabetes, high salt intake, etc), and how well did that go for you? Most consumers have an inkling that there is risk in anything you consume. And unless they want to stop supporting said product, regulations will do very little about it. Again, follow the money.

Anyways, life is too short. Vape away at your own risk. But if it brings enjoyment to your life, what does it really matter? If if is not the vaping, something else will probably kill you first. Just saying.
