Question about cotton

[Racehorse]

But it might be helpful if somewhere there was a sticky link to stuff that was reasonably assumed to be 'unadulterated'.

I have had this conversation both w/organic foodies as well as vapers.

I have known for a long time about the dangers of organic pesticides (often more deadly than synthetic ones) and so when I buy organically grown veggies, I do it locally from someone who doesn't use ANY pesticides at all. (pesticide free)

Ditto, organic flavorings, etc. Many of them have naturally occurring diacetyls.....and some of the fruits ones have dangerous stuff in them too. You can't take those out unless you use a lab.

That is why "lab juice" or snythetic juice and flavorings are often "safer". They can leave out the bad stuff when they make it.

That is the choices i make for myself, but it may or may not matter, just that i try to do everything as healthy as possible now, knowing that my ex smoker lungs are damaged and not as resiliant as healthy lungs had I never smoked at all.

I'm going with non dyed, hand spun Alpaca Mohair yarn.

You know I actually AM a spinner. I did try handspun cotton and bamboo wicks. It actually wicked better unspun.

This was a perfectly good (not to mention fun) thread the last time I checked in. What's with the pissing contest

Oh, oh, maybe I was wrong. I woke up this morning with...........cotton mouth. It has to be my wick.

Boiling the cotton gets rid of the spider nests.

I hate coughing up baby spiders. 8-o
