Nicotine

:blink:

And to think I felt guilty I drank 4 Boddingtons last night..

You should feel guilty for one.

I was changing my oil last week and didn't realize I was out of Valvoline until after I had drained the old stuff. Luckily, I had a lone can of Boddington's in the fridge and it was a worthy substitute.

Yeah, this is one of the concerns. The proposal is to cut the nicotine levels to about 25%. So, would folks smoke 4 times as much? Of course, the increases in cost would likely be prohibitive for most. I think they're banking on the combination resulting in a significant drop in use. What that basically means is there will be a boon, at least in the short term, for vaping. That's supplanting smoking already. And you can actually use vaping devices for drug use. It's a growing problem in schools.

People always seem to find enough money for cigarettes.

Priorities.

It's funny though, lowering the amount of nicotine is a good thing but so many assume it's not.

Such condescension from the resident life of the party.

Smoke all you want. I couldn't care less. Just don't expect my tax dollars to pay for your lung transplant.

Oh wait.


Thanks Obama

It's not a matter of right or wrong.

It's an ignorant outlook on a lifestyle that isn't his... something to which Golfballs is hardly a stranger.

Enlighten me, Studio 54.

It took my mom about 25 years of trying to quit before it stuck. Damn addictive.

Took me 15 tries to finally understand the nicotine dependancy. I quit many times only to be sucked back in by just having 1 cig at some special time. I am off 12 years but I know for sure if I have just 1, 2 weeks later I would be pack a day.

I think it should be made public whether or not Cigarette company executives smoke. If they don't smoke them should not be allowed to sell them.

Biden Considering Rule To Cut Nicotine In Cigs; Tobacco Stocks Tumble | ZeroHedge

The nicotine-reduction policy under consideration would lower the chemical in cigarettes to nonaddictive or minimally addictive levels, aiming to push millions of smokers to either quit or switch to less harmful alternatives such as nicotine gums, lozenges or e-cigarettes.

Or make them smoke much more.

They lower the nicotine levels but weed is being engineered to have higher amounts THC levels. Seems the high THC would be worse that nicotine.

 

[LouderVol]

Not for the government doing this. I am fine with them creating "categories/tiers", similar to the differences in how beer/wine/liquor is treated. But not outright banning.

 

[hog88]

If the federal government was successful in getting everyone to quit smoking are they raising our taxes to replace the revenue lost from the cigarette taxes?

Nicotine and THC don't function and affect the body in the same manner, even though they're both used recreationally. They are also nowhere near close to having similar levels of addictive effects.

Thc alters the mind way more than nicotine.

Hell yeah they will.

Legalized weed will start looking a whole lot better to them if that happens.

If they don't drink should they sell them? If they don't own a gun should they sell them? If they don't eat healthy should they sell them? Your stance is about the dumbest I have ever seen.
