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.

The steam from coffee damages your lungs and throat, I never knew that. Are you sure about that?
What about aroma molecules, like sniffing a flower or perfume?

So I attempted to look up the effects of smelling flowers on the lungs for science.

Unfortunately (but not surprisingly) the first few scientific results were about essential oils, the remaining results were just about smell sensitivities.

The interesting thing though, is that this study nebulized people (very small study) with essential oils and found out that they had better running performance afterward.

All this to say, you couldn't pay me enough to do that lol

I applaud your research efforts. I learned some interesting stuff!

Mr. pedantic loves raising pointless nonarguments. Nobody likes mr. pedantic. Don't be like mr. pedantic, kids.

Unless you're functionally illiterate, it should be plentifully obvious that I meant particulate substances not expected to be naturally found in the air.

Alright, Mr Black-and-white. Ozone is naturally found in air, and is toxic, as is methane and any other number of organic particles that are released by natural processes.

Apart from your inaccurate use of language, you also made an unsupported assertion. I don't believe you're correct.

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

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...

fulfills your arbitrary criteria for what should be (but, in fact, isn’t) a perfectly safe substance

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

[-] crapwittyname@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

Illiterate

You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] crapwittyname@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

Mate, you forgot to downvote the above comment. Might want to get on that.

[-] crapwittyname@lemm.ee 0 points 9 months ago

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?

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Keep digging. Another positive example of your illiteracy.

[-] crapwittyname@lemm.ee 0 points 9 months ago

I obviously don't understand what that means, what with being illiterate, sorry. Could you explain it more unwordishly or something idk
