Like 5 or 10 years from now, scientists and researchers from across all universities will point out that “AI IS BAD!”.

    Vaping is bad for you.

    Current energy drinks cause heart/cardiovascular problems.

      I’m honestly shocked that energy drinks are as unregulated as they are. Like, they don’t have warnings on the cans or anything. Way back when I was in high school, a friend on the golf team would drink 3 or 4 red bulls during a round of golf. By sophomore year of college, he had to quit the team (that he had a full ride scholarship to play on) because of heart problems caused by the energy drinks.

        They do have warning labels on most of them. Sorry to say but some people bring these problems onto themselves. Like, I know what I’m doing by drinking Monster Java drinks almost every day. I limit 2 a day because that’s the ‘safe limit’. Any more, I’d be asking for it. I can’t imagine what it’d be like drinking 4 of them in one day though.

        It’s like they’re to be treated like alcohol - drink responsibly. These aren’t the kind of drinks you’d chug down like you would a bottle of water or something.

      It’s already known that vaping is bad for you. When using one, you’re inhaling heavy metal vapours from the heating element.

        This study was funded by tobacco companies, only involved cheap disposable vapes that were made in china, and didn’t find heavy metals in all samples. It didn’t include any of the long term use vapes or coils that you fill with your own juice. No study thats been done on those have ever found any negative health effects.

          Like, it’s obviously not better for you than just breathing air. But it is also by all evidence better than smoking. But there has been a massive PR push to making vaping the absolute devil and just not mentioning smoking at all. It is anecdotal at best, but I can say that giving up cigarettes for a vape has made my breathing feel significantly better day-to-day. I have people actively smoking cigarettes tell me I need to quit vaping because “it’s so bad for you”.

          Do I think that people that have never smoked should start vaping - absolutely not. Do I think people smoking 3 packs of cigarettes a day would be generally healthier if they switched to vaping - absolutely yes.
