It's pretty stupid that my #Dovpo Riva #vape does not have any 'safety' mechanism whatsoever that prevents it from continuously firing when the firing button is pressed. Rare but from time to time I forget to turn it off before leaving it inside my pocket, and by the time I reach for it I realise that it's been continuously firing, and my coil/cotton is now all burnt and needs changing 🙃

If you #vape, l assume that you're not aware that vaping is #unhealthy?

Unhealthy for #physiology in general (colloquially, unhealthy for the "body & mind")

But, it depends on what chemicals are being vaporised. For example, inhaling water vapour is OK. But the vape "juice" sold on the market (e.g., in shops), is unhealthy to vape. E.g., it reduces respiratory function \ efficiency of the lungs. Plus, has negative psychological 'hang over' effects

Don't simply trust advertising!

Wilma viesti: ”Kävi vessassa.” Ok. Kiitti. Tiedän miksi laittavat nykyään näistä(kin) mutta on se silti vähän outoa lukea. Lapselleni joka on tunnollinen ja hyvä koulussa muodostui stressi tästä että mitä jos tulee tunnin aikana vessahätä. Välitunneilla ei aina ehdi koska vessat on niin varattuja mm vapettajien takia. Vapettajien takia tullut sitten tämäkin käytäntö että laitetaan vanhemmille viesti jos nuori käy vessassa tunnin aikana #vape #nuoret #yläaste #koulu #wilma

Continued thread

Double standards: Gen X + older folk on #socialmedia reminiscing about a scene from a #kids book where a #sweet shop owner (an old white man) is selling bags of sweets (with way more sugar than is allowed today) to kids.

Same shop also sold #tobacco (and didn't always care how old you were!)

But folk went apeshit when #BritishAsian folk took over these shops, and similarly at the sweets + #vape shops run by #migrant staff in 21st century towns..
