Cigarette companies losing profits?

Let people have a relatively less problematic stress relief than cancer risk increasing smoke, right?
Tho, not sure about micro plastic content n all.

[–] Lowleekun@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

I think doing it a lot can damage your teeth as well. But yeah, better than smoking. Not sure it satisfies nicotine addiction tho...

[–] oopsgodisdeadmybad@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago

I still hope every cigarette company and the CEOs die. Preferably by lung cancer.

Just suck a cock.

Guaranteed productivity boost, and company loyalty would skyrocket.

Or tits, heck even a pussy. Or i dunno... A fucking lolipop (-_-)

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Want to downvote for censor the word fucking at the same time laughed.

[–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

It's censored because censoring it is an automatic 4 comments of free engagement to boost you in the algorithms of various platforms.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 months ago

Downvote it and then upvote the uncensored one in the comments.

Eh, I honestly wouldnt care if I saw this in public. As long as something someone does isn't a pain to others, non of my business.

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

I would assume they're rolling or really like to rave.

Or you could just chew gum, that's always an option

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Isn't gum really bad for the environment? Like the rubber part decomposes but the plastic part just doesn't? Not saying pacifiers aren't plastic and rubber, but they're reusable at least

[–] Deconceptualist@leminal.space 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (4 children)

Where did you get the idea that chewing gum is made out of rubber and plastic? 🤔

Edit: Thanks all, I had no idea!

[–] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Everything is made from rubber and plastic now. Bread? Plastic. Meat? Rubber. Vegetables? Plastic. Milk? Rubber. Chewing gum looks like rubber, but is actually plastic.

[–] TiredTiger@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 months ago

It is plastic, though. The exact formulas tend to be proprietary, but they use a plastic rather than a natural gum base unless explicitly stated otherwise on the packaging. Even a lot of the 'natural' brands still use a plastic base.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

A podcast years ago. A cursory search confirms that modern chewing gum has a "gum base" that contains food safe plastic polymer. Old school ones are made from gum from trees, but that hasn't been economically viable for like a century.

Most of it will decompose but other parts either gets buried in a landfill or gets burned where the smoke goes into the sky and turns into stars.

Both are plastics. No difference.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There is a difference, one is socially acceptable

Weird to see a minor rave culture fad return after all this time.

I'm getting really tired of this kind of doomerism. Look, just because a tariff-loving, bigoted republican president is inflating securities markets wildly beyond their historical maximum book values by orders of magnitude in the context of sharply rising unemployment and homelessness, doesn't mean we're revisiting 1930s economic conditions. So I don't want to hear anymore about removed-environmental-protections this, and exponentially-increasing-environmental-disasters that. Just nut up, ignore the once-in-a generation, escalating geopolitical tensions, and go persecute some minorities just like Jesus Washington said to do in the Bible Constitution.

Pish just suck off you SO like an adult!

[–] GiorgioPerlasca@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

Liquirice roots are a better option in my opinion, but if it works for them I have no problem.
