Well, there was a long thread on Nextdoor this morning. There's a trendy shopping area nearby. Used to be quaint and fun with lots of small interesting shops, now it's wall to wall bars and endless apartment buildings. Not a place I would go after dark. Bit of a shame but that's the way it goes.
Anyway there were two smoke shops up there and a third one just opened. The local whiners were furious. Why do we need another smoke shop? Lowering the tone of the neighborhood. Blah Blah Blah. Someone said they were getting positioned for the upcoming legalisation of the other stuff. Someone else said they would probably be selling vape stuff. Mostly to kids, get them hooked on nic so they could set them up for a lifetime of smoking. That set off a long back and forth about how bad vaping is. Someone posted about vape having much lower levels of poisonous chemicals than cigs. Someone else replied that vape was far worse than cigs, it's obvious to anyone who bothers to read, there's plenty of evidence, I've seen it.
That last one made me cringe. That's what evidence is these days. You read some opinion piece on the internet which agrees with what you believe and that's "evidence".
