Vaping Is 95% Healthier and 40% Cheaper Than Smoking -- (link) - Krusty Aug 23, 08:10 16
- It seems like a more healthier alternative to regular cigarettes. And no more cig butts -- nm - amoxy Aug 23, 09:02
- I didn't read, but does it have the same addictive qualities as regular cigarettes? -- nm - amoxy Aug 23, 08:51 4
  - If it has nicotine (you can get the juice without it), it would be. -- nm - TWuG Aug 23, 08:54 3
    - Yes it has nicotine but it doesn't have any of the other chemicals and crap that are in cigarettes. Nicotine isn't the problem. - Krusty Aug 23, 08:57 2
      - Nicotine is *the* addictive chemical. Which is what the question was asking about. - TWuG Aug 23, 09:21 1
        
        Except that the only real reason it being addictive is a problem is because all of those other chemicals. -- nm - Ender Aug 23, 18:34
- But still 100% as annoying in public. -- nm - TWuG Aug 23, 08:39 5
  - Not even close. My vape smells like candy, you'd think you walked into a cloud of cotton candy. Cigarettes smell awful and burn the nostrils. I get - Krusty Aug 23, 08:58 1
    - I don't care what it smells like, I don't want to smell it in my air. I especially don't want your nicotine in my air. -- nm - TWuG Aug 23, 09:23
  - I don't agree. Vaping appears to be odorless (or nearly so). Cigarettes are not. -- nm - ty97 Aug 23, 08:56 1
    - I do hate seeing the people using them where smoking is prohibited like restaurants and subway stations for example. - Krusty Aug 23, 09:03
  - Also this -- nm - Bacon Aug 23, 08:42
- And not smoking at all beats them both! -- nm - Spawndroid Aug 23, 08:32 2
  - Of course but that's not the point. It's a great way to stop smoking the thing that's guaranteed to kill you. - Krusty Aug 23, 08:54
  - This -- nm - Bacon Aug 23, 08:34
- It's actually even cheaper than they report. You can get a setup of a battery and tank to hold the juice for around $40. The juice varies in price so -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 23, 08:16
May be too easy MLB trivia: Of retired members of the 50 home run club, who has the fewest career homers? -- nm - iSpam Aug 23, 07:10 2

Ooof after market trading has the DOW Futures at -477 -- nm - Bacon via Google Nexus 10 Aug 22, 22:48 5
- As much as I hate to try to time things, this last week has me thinking about selling and buying back in later. - Dano Aug 23, 07:25 2
  - This would be the worst time to do that. -- nm - David Aug 23, 08:43
  - Do you need the money tomorrow, next week, or next year? If no, then leave it alone. - TWuG Aug 23, 08:40
- Linky -- (link) - Bacon via Google Nexus 10 Aug 22, 22:49 1

Huh. Saratoga Springs is the location of the old Disney Institute. -- nm - Mop Aug 22, 21:23
Strange, a hotel room I'm following is $118 on all the booking sites. Hilton themselves want $179. -- nm - Meg Aug 22, 21:15 3
- Is that so unusual? Aren't the booking sites usually cheaper? -- nm - Mop Aug 22, 21:22 2
  - Maybe some - but that's a big difference -- nm - Meg Aug 22, 21:30 1
    - And this morning it's $125 !?! -- nm - Meg Aug 23, 08:28
So it's Panda twins. (I hate these stupid animals, but good for the mother) -- nm - MDH Aug 22, 21:07 8
- Jesus, who hates pandas? -- nm - jangles Aug 22, 22:31 4
  - Everyone. They are vastly overhyped animals that do nothing. -- nm - MDH Aug 23, 05:13 2
    - You're awfully young to be a curmudgeon. -- nm - TWuG Aug 23, 08:41
    - Pisses me off. The only endangered animals people care about are big fluffy cool ones. If a reptile/insect/arachnid goes extinct, no one cares -- nm - CQ Aug 23, 06:22

- He has the best delivery of any line of any show last season when he's in an episode with his sister. -- nm - Imperator Aug 22, 21:00 2
  - That would be all of them - Reagen Aug 22, 21:20
