Online vape seller has ‘no intention of stopping’ shipments to Australia, despite nationwide ban — ‘We have no intention of stopping just because of one twat in Canberra.’::The New Zealand-based seller issued a notice to its Australian customers that shipments will continue regardless of the government’s vape reform.

    You’re insufferable, illiterate and stupid. That’s quite the combo!

    Ozone is naturally found in air

    In incredibly small concentrations. Do you consider yourself as being made of gold because there are micrograms of it in your body?

    as is methane and any other number of organic particles that are released by natural processes.

    Again, in incredibly small concentrations. Also, notice the assertion is “particulate substances not expected to be naturally found in the air are harmful”, not “only particulate substances […] are harmful” nor “all non-particulate substances […] aren’t harmful”. Even in your brainless interpretation you manage to fail.

      During a lightning storm, ozone can be found in large quantities. There is a fairly vast amount of it in the atmosphere. It is naturally occurring and fulfills your arbitrary criteria for what should be (but, in fact, isn’t) a perfectly safe substance to breathe.
      Methane occurs naturally in huge concentrations. Look it up, a little reading might be good for you!

      So your amended assertion is:

      “All forms of inhalation of [particulate] substances which aren’t [naturally expected to be found in] air causes (sic) damage to the lungs and throat.”

      I’m sorry mate, but it’s still not true . Again, coffee vapour, water vapour, tea vapour, cooked rice vapour, long-chain hydrocarbons. None of these are naturally (i.e. without human activity) expected to be found in air, and none of them are at all harmful. Coffee and tea vapour even contain caffeine, a drug quite similar to nicotine, which is the active ingredient in vapes…

        Congratulations on proving, once again, that you’re illiterate!

            It means exactly what I know it means. You, however, I wouldn’t expect to have heard of functional illiteracy, considering your education must’ve been shit.

              Yeah it was appalling, totally.
              Do you see the irony in your calling out other people’s command of language using that chaotic turd of a sentence?
