I know theres nicotine pouch brands with up to 200mg per pouch. Idk how this person ended up in this state but i would guess they werent a regular nicotine user before.
I use nicotine pouches myself, not trying to defend it, its obviously bad. Compared to inhaling the giga cancer smoke from ciggarettes i do still believe it is better though. Although idk which crazy people go for the "end my life instantly" strengths.
They're all ramming Snus against their gums like there's no tomorrow though.
If True
'Smoke free contry'
It's about cigarettes
Bruh
But yet when the British government does this, Lemmites claim it's an attack on personal freedom and fascism.
The United States should ban cigarettes, but should continue to allow tobacco to be used in smoke-free forms.
If you want to poison yourself, that should be your choice, but poisoning others should not be allowed.
Not a terrible idea but
The problem here is thinking the U.S. government exists to make intelligent decisions that will help us
A gas powered car with its exhaust fumes poisons others way more than a smoker. Same rules apply?
They should. A big part of the world is moving towards that, while the US moves backwards.
The United States should ban cigarettes
Never read about the Prohibition?
In countries with solidary health insurance expenses to cover unnecessary, tobacco related cancers are paid by the whole population.
Dead wrong.
The whole population benefits from what smokers pay.
From a study in NL it shows that they generate far more than what it costs in healthcare.
And it also said should the small percentage of smokers suddenly quit and live longer, the loss of income for the state and the extra cost of them living longer and needing more care would be unsustainable.
And if you want to be selfish and not have solidarity then let's start about the much bigger cost of the SELF-INFLICTED diabetic epidemic.
They require an avg of 28 years of aid.
And almost no country wants to tackle that because of their opportunistic politicians.
Who cares about antagonizing a small percentage that smokes.
But the many sugar addicts poisoning themselves are too important for their precious votes to touch.
And those same hypocrite politicians can be seen regularly with a glass of alcohol (hard drugs) in their hand.
And as an edit, I don't want to pay for your skin cancer treatment also, should've stayed out of the sun.
That happens in the US too. We just also pay CEO salaries and shareholder disbursements.
Yeah as the article notes people have switched to nicotine pouches to get their fix. Which are better because they don't produce smoke and lung cancer, but they can still give you other oral cancers and dental diseases. If anything they're probably worse in that aspect due to being constantly pressed against the gums and lips. But at least they're smokeless.
More research is needed. Nicotine on its own is not cancerous. Tobacco is. Nicotine pouches that aren't tobacco might carry much lower risks, but there is other stuff in them.
Nicotine on its own is not cancerous.
Man... if you really want misinformation, read Lemmy on the subject of vapes and nicotine. Everyone just copy pastas incorrect "facts".
and

Not to mention the littering problem is even worse than with cigarette butts.
Yet they attack France for banning nicotine pouches and calling it an attack on the Swedish way of life.
Smells copium right winger to me. But at the same time, a right wing extremist party member looking for party leader position wanted to fund "research on how feminization and declining intake of red meat correlates to increasing numbers of left leaning voters" so we cant all have brain cells ✊😔
