smoking is bad, mkay
Calling it “lead free” immediately makes me suspicious that it is heavily contaminated with cadmium or depleted uranium or mercury.
“Safer… smoking experience”. WTF BoingBoing?
Vaping is bad! So, naturally the solution is sell you sell you some vaping shit!
But at least it’s not lead!
I was under the impression that the biggest contributing factor to Vaping-associated pulmonary injury (an acute condition that can kill within months instead of decades) is currently thought to be Vitamin E acetate, not heavy metals.
Not that the heavy metals are doing your body any favors either.
I will tell my grandkids about the 1950s doctors pushing cigarettes as healthy, and the day that boingboing sold out.
No thanks, I’ll take the leaded one.
My personal favorite alternative To “traditional vaping” is to just fill the vape unit with food grade vegetable glycerin and connect a tube so that you can blow through it instead of inhaling for super affordable smoke effects. Safe for kids too!
You are correct. The vaping issue was exclusively bootleg THC carts that used Vitamin E Acetate as a thickener. Vitamin E Acetate is not and has never been used in legit, legal eliquids/nicotine vapes or legit THC carts.n
