Epidemic of youth nicotine addiction?
- Thread starter 5150sick
- Start date
Declarations of interest: JB received unrestricted research funding from Pfizer, who manufacture smoking cessation medications. RW undertakes research and consultancy for and receives travel funds and hospitality from manufacturers of smoking cessation medications (Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline and Johnson and Johnson). All authors declare no financial links with tobacco companies or e-cigarette manufacturers or their representatives.
I'll accept their findings since they declare no financial links.
Conclusions: Data from the NYTS do not support claims of a new epidemic of nicotine addiction stemming from use of e-cigarettes, nor concerns that declines in youth tobacco addiction stand to be reversed after years of progress. Among current e-cigarette users who had never tried tobacco products, responses consistently pointed to minimal dependence.

I read all this stuff years ago, nicotine acts like a glue for braincells,,, keeps all of them communicating with each other,, somewhere in Europe they were using it as a therapy
Again, politicians will never let the truth influence their crusades.
Yet they let big food & big pharma poison our kids,,,,, our kids today will shoot their own classmates. Something is wrong,, yesterday kids eating pods for the nic. They are craving nic more like us old heavy smokers did,, as if they need it in order to stay sane.
These are the same moronic kids who were eating laundry detergent pods..They will do anything for a high. This is the epidemic and bigger picture, but our government isn't in the business of looking at a larger picture.
Our government represent the morons that voted them into office.. we always get the government we deserve.
Side note on a global level Americans avg IQ is now 98 & we are something like #7 or #9... I am very disappointed
I was talking to a cop in the subway a while back, and he mentioned that the Police want recruits with an average IQ of 100. So they’re looking for a mediocre IQ!

I felt very saddened by the #98,, wow! Have we become stupid? It justifies why some companies may have to look to Asia if they need to develop next generation of technology. I watch in confusion my Facebook page and see my friends "dumbing down" themselves,, I'm all for funny posts,, but they seem to have found rabbit holes to sewers,, or dumb marketing. A few of them are now bashing the other gender for their failed relationship,,, one only needs to look in their posts to see they were hollow shallow people to begin with,,, nothing there to love/want unless you're attracted to 24/7 "me me me" with random moments of whining.I was talking to a cop in the subway a while back, and he mentioned that the Police want recruits with an average IQ of 100.

The other govt data point for 2025,, most jobs will be food preparation,, and mental health treatment. I look at today's younger people,, all taking selfies,,, narcissistic personalities waiting to discover there is nothing more special about them compared to the next guy - they are going to need head shrinks.
I watch several channels on YouTube,,, every now &then I look to see whats trending,,,99% of the time its its really dumb stuff,,, fill your head with dumb - don't be surprised when you become dumb.
