Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Oh boy are they really still on with that disinformation? Also argument from ignorance at best, or consciously lying and misinforming at worst.
Intensive studies were made already in the 50's, to use the base elements for vaping as a defense against airway infections in kindergartens and shopping malls. It was found to both work and be VERY safe!
I don't understand how this misinformation is even legal? Considering there is massive amounts of studies that show the safety puts it a a risk level of about 2% of smoking a cigarette.
That however is if you do not add flavor, and use only the base VG or PG in juices together with medical grade nicotine, which is what almost all makers use today here.
I absolutely agree that there is no need to have single use vapes, they are clearly a resource waste that causes unnecessary pollution much like single use plastic.
I hope you're right but my cough always gets worse after I vape.
Do you vape pure PG with medical grade nicotine and no flavor?
That's the safest vape there is.
If you were a heavy smoker previous to vaping, that could be a major contributing factor.
Vaping also increases the need for water, as PG actually both acts like a detergent, and dries your lungs.
I only vape THC oil and shatter, what does PG stand for?
Propylene Glycol
Also vaping oil THC or otherwise, is not in any way proven safe AFAIK.
Oils may cause problems when vaped, if they build up. AFAIK the lungs do not have a good way to get rid of it.
But I'm not a THC user in any form, so it's not a subject I've examined, so I may be way off on that.
No, you're probably right. I have a nebulizer that I put sodium chloride into to try and get the gunk out of my lungs.
Maybe it's not a good idea to vape THC oil then, if you can , you should probably switch to cookies. I suppose you already know, but the THC needs to be heated before consumption to be "activated".
Yeah I used to work for a medical marijuana distributer so I know all about the heat activation. The problem is that I enjoy the process of vaping while I watch shows and stuff.
Thanks for telling me about the Propylene Glycol. I may try vaping that and using edibles instead, just to spare my lungs.
What about a herb vape like a volcano or whip vape if you can't afford? Anecdotally I hear the concentrates are way rougher on the lungs than dry vaping.
I do have a Pulsar Sipper which I think is similar to the vulcano? It's definitely better than the 510 cartridges I was using before
