Nicotine condoms: Knocking out two bad habits at once

[superfrog]

I started laughing uncontrolably when I read this today... from a couple fo days ago:

Nicotine condoms: Knocking out two bad habits at once | Daily Loaf

A couple of key phrases...

The problem with most quit-smoking devices is that they aren’t as cool as smoking. You have to wear a huge patch, gnaw on nasty gum, or puff on electronic vapor cigarettes.

While nicotine condoms aren’t being marketed as a way to quit smoking, the implication is obvious. Unfortunately I doubt any of the anti-smoking ad campaigns directed at teens will endorse the message, “Quit smoking by having more safe sex.”

Hell, I'm quitting smoking just as soon as I find a date

haha we laugh but im sure that asain kid(2 years old maybe 3) who's parents let smoke 2 packs a day will need those along with patches, and gum just to stay molecularly stable : P

Taken orally, they may be able to make the health claim that they "ARE a safe alternative to getting pregnant" without ten years of FDA clinical trials, but getting male participants in the studies shouldn't be too difficult.

...... NRT wat?

This could dramatically increase the number of sexual harassment claims due to employees switching the method used for "smoke breaks."

So Catholics are stuck with the patch? That doesn't seem fair.

"This isn’t the first time the Swedish company has experimented with using various household stimulants in their condoms. They also produced a condom coated with benzocaine and caffeine"

This adds a whole new slant to the "second-hand, third-hand, etc" dangers. Also the dangers of "side-stream...." risk etc.
And, where is the 'research oufit' that did the infamous "suck studies" positing that it may require stronger, harder sucking in order to achieve satisfaction and how that is somehow?!?!!? dangerous. Where's a good research bunch when you really could use them.

Yep...It just "petered out"

 

[Vocalek]

OMG, Petrodus, that's two-thirds of a pun!

 

[TWISTED VICTOR]

All things considered, at least it was easy to stay on-topic. Nobody slithered in and made a mess of things, we all came for the fun and satisfaction.....

This is an extremely funny thread!

Not trying to get into your personal life,
however, it's obvious that your product knowledge is extensive.

Does your gf (seriously) really want to quit smoking?
If she really wants to quit (separate from you)...what are the road blocks?

This version of the story in Chinglish is much more amusing than the link in the OP: Nicotine Condoms: Smokeless Tobacco Substitutes | Health Information and Tips

Example:

These special condoms use lubricants that contain certain amount of nicotine thus provide same sensation of smoking. Nicotine in condom still endanger for user health, but because of its smokeless so not harm people around them.

Why does the phrase "Slippery slope" come to mind?

 

[rothenbj]

I'm still trying to figure out what their cigarette "after" approach is, or does the product itself address that?

I've never had an audience.
