@Sherlock. Is there fiberglass in Chew?
There appears to be a widely-believed and long-standing rumor that manufacturers of smokeless tobacco(a.k.a. "chewing tobacco", "dip", "snuff", "chew") put fiberglass in their products. According to this rumor, the purpose of the fiberglass is to make thousands of tiny cuts in the skin on the lips and inside of the mouth.
Yeah sounds like it's just a rumor
You vape too much Pip
IE supports the Cigs Inside movement, the Iota Epsilon house is tobacco friendly
I don't think you'll get the Georgian to stop chewing
Together we can make a difference in society
Well the truth is that I've always had a love affair with tobacco/nicotine so for me it's more about minimizing the damage
@Sherlock Well some brands are more subtle.
Dipping is degenerate, any form of unhealthy addictions are degenerate. Tbh
*several people are typing*
Nicotine is heavily addicting, that stuff messes up so many things in your brain, cancer not included
Man I had no idea I would stir such passions by bringing dip into the discussion lmao
At the end of the day, I'd rather people dip than smoke because it doesn't affect me, but there's no good reason to do either
@TMatthews Georgian as in "Georgia on my mind," or the Republic of Georgia?
@TMatthews Agree
Alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine are all good
Obviously within reasonable parameters on the alcohol
Haha they are though
Also vaping is still bad. Hate to say it buds, it doesn't have as much nicotine in the second/third hand smoke, but it has so much more of other harmful chemicals in the smoke you exhale. It still gives off harmful second hand smoke
I gave up drinking
I still drink soda on occasion (basically just with pizza) but I never got into drugs/alcohol
There are studies supporting nicotine being good for you.
I used to drink entirely too much if I'm going to be totally honest, but these days I have a bit here and there and it's all good
Not saying a believe it.
Alcohol in moderation is a good thing
Im pretty certain it is, its just all the other stuff its packaged with that causes problems
Nicotine is a solid drug. Only downside is the addiction
just here to chime in that it wasn't the nicotine that was addicting to me, but the act of smoking itself.
hence why i vape zero nic now
its some sort of nervous stimulant
Some writers wear nic patches to increase creativity
Patches are expensive though
@Sherlock What is your view on marijuana?
nicorette is great for long drives when youre fading
Drinking tea > nicotine addiction
@hbutzer0511 I don't have an issue with it, but personally don't care for it at all
At best, alcohol is a societal norm not worth fighting. Nicotine is no longer a social norm and deserves the stigma
Cannabis/hemp discussion is probably not the best conversation piece in the IE server, js
Stigmatizing nicotine is nearly as bizarre as stigmatizing caffeine
@The Eternal Anglo agree that tea is awesome
