minus-squaretreefrog@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-26 months agoNothing is 100% safe. Which is why harm reduction is an important part of the conversation when discussing drug addiction. Water is safer than tea. Tea safer than coffee. All three can in theory kill you if consumed in large enough quantities. Anyway, I figured I would dig around more on vaping instead of just glancing at the top search result. And, I take what I said back. Nicotine by itself causes cancer. Tobacco just makes it more likely. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9222281/
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 months agoI don’t disagree with you on the “safer” thing at all, but OP said that it was “safe.” But this has become moot anyway based on your research.
minus-squaretreefrog@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·6 months agoYeah, my bad for glancing at the top search result before I made my long-winded post above lol. Hope you’re well, Mr. Squid.
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 months agoNo better than I have been in over a year, but we’re working on it. Thanks.
minus-squaretreefrog@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·6 months agoSorry to hear that. My mental health is finally on the mend. Giving myself permission to be myself for the first time in my life, really. Hope things get better for you soon :)
