I cared how many chemicals went into
tobacco cigarettes. Hence the reason I began
vaping. That and I couldn't breathe anymore, snoring, etc. Possibly caused by oxygen depravation. Oh well, I made the switch and I'm now feeling a lot better than I did when I smoked. I can do the infamous Manitou Incline without being winded after the first 10 steps.
As far as eating smoked products, cutting grapes and hot dogs in half... I agree, it would be
irresponsible of me to go
through life completely child proofing everything. Then again, look at the generations in which we grew up. My parents - as unlikely as it seems - allowed me to find out first hand what happens if I did something stupid. And let me tell you as a kid I did a lot of stupid .... just to see if they were lying about it. And out of all the things I did... I found out that 99.5% of the time they weren't bull....ting. The other .5% was just me either not getting caught or I just stumbled upon good luck and no negative repercussions were suffered from it.
Then again, it would also be irresponsible of me to not teach the future generations about the hazards I know of.
