Consumers prefer to smoke cannabis, not take single-compound pharmaceutical-grade cannabis products. For the FDA to oversee cannabis approvals, Congress may need to act.
the synthetic nicotine being produce is done with green chemistry meaning no heavy metals used in synthesis
with the nicotine being lab made no ground pollutants such as lead and other heavy metals are present just like fake vanilla extract which most seasoning coming from India with polluted soil
also less soil less environmental impact
the ingredients have gotten safer over time as well also leading to changes in other industries
hugely better product both health and environmental and all around
not to mention not have the ill effects of second hand smoke
Nicotine can be consumed safely. There’s a Huberman Lab podcast on it. Nicotine Gum and Nicotine Lozenges are very safe, for example. And less addictive than vaping (note, less, not non-addictive).
Vaping is safe-er than tobacco. So, it is harm reduction as it’s not carcinogenic as far as we know (contamination aside). However, the vape route of administration passes the blood brain faster than combustion, making it actually more addictive than tobacco and more likely to cause acute overdose symptoms. Thankfully, inhaled nicotine has a very short half life, so laying down for a few minutes generally allows a person to return to baseline.
And, not agreeing with anything Verdant Banana said about cannabis scheduling. Some tinfoil hat stuff imo.
I agree, it’s safer. But how can we know it’s safe below a certain amount for lifelong vapers when there hasn’t been enough time to do a long-term study?
Wouldn’t (and I say this as a long-term cannabis vaporizer myself) putting anything into the lungs on a regular basis other than air be inherently unsafe long-term?

None of that has to do with your claim, and it is also more claims instead of evidence.
Where’s your evidence that there is a safe level of nicotine consumption?

Safer is not safe.

Nothing is 100% safe. Which is why harm reduction is an important part of the conversation when discussing drug addiction.
Water is safer than tea. Tea safer than coffee. All three can in theory kill you if consumed in large enough quantities.
Anyway, I figured I would dig around more on vaping instead of just glancing at the top search result.
And, I take what I said back. Nicotine by itself causes cancer. Tobacco just makes it more likely.

I don’t disagree with you on the “safer” thing at all, but OP said that it was “safe.”
But this has become moot anyway based on your research.
Yeah, my bad for glancing at the top search result before I made my long-winded post above lol.
Hope you’re well, Mr. Squid.
No better than I have been in over a year, but we’re working on it. Thanks.
Sorry to hear that. My mental health is finally on the mend. Giving myself permission to be myself for the first time in my life, really.
Hope things get better for you soon :)
