    Who’s actually going to use these if they’re not already a smoker / vaper? Maybe they’re just providing them so people don’t have to get up and go outside for 5-10 minutes to smoke.

  Nicotine : one of the only drugs that makes you a better slave ; therefore, one of the very few legal ones.

  • Krauerking@lemy.lol ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Yeah, I mean there were the amphetamines and opiates that they thought made people better workers too but that was just during periods where people hated reality and they realized the disassociation was worse for efficiency so now just back to nicotine.

    Why can’t we make our own study that says that the dopamine of watching a live hibachi chef makes us a better slave and at least get a flaming volcano of onion out of this?

  If there was a button that just made every tobacco plant (and the backups in that one seed vault place) die, I would keep pushing it for days just to make sure it was all gone. Including existing smoking products.

  Not sorry not sorry. Addicts all going cold turkey that day.

  At this point I think it’s safe to say we’re locked into the dystopian future and the utopic one was but a dream.

  source

  • Krauerking@lemy.lol ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Fun fact:
    The guy that coined the term Utopia, actually meant for it to act as a pun, for “no such place” or to imply it was a false dream.
    Such as, people will use the mirage of a utopia to hide the very real dystopia that this path creates.

    A Eutopia is an actually “good place”. A thing we have not been working towards. George Orwell also called his society a Utopia as it was a false good place.

      I read through it and just thought they were being generous with the fact that they were stating the positives as mostly people with depression and ADHD self medicating with an addictive substance that didnt really help as much as cause a feedback loop that felt better but more addictive…

      The fact that they state the funders directly had involvement in the study… Oof.

  It’s appalling that they’re doing it but they aren’t tobacco products, they nicotine products.

  source

  • Hawke@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    A lot of the nicotine in products like these is made from tobacco. Some of it is synthetic nicotine, some is plant-derived.

    I couldn’t find statistics but at least some companies have different product names for synthetic vs natural.

    e.g. “VELO” is plant-derived while “VELO Plus” is synthetic.

    • youCanCallMeDragon@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      In my opinion this is splitting hairs. Chewing tobacco, cigarettes, cigars, etc., are tobacco products having tobacco as a main ingredient. Nicotine gum, pouches, patches, and ecigs are nicotine products as they have nicotine (synthetic or derived) but no actual tobacco. If the got the nicotine from eggplants you wouldn’t call it an eggplant product.

      Almost all of it is tobacco-derived, which is why I always found the “tobacco companies are trying to get vapes banned” idea ridiculous. They’re the ones making the stuff that goes in the vapes.

      I think the point of the distinction is regarding cancer. Tobacco on the gums causes mouth cancer, nicotine maybe maybe not.

    Nicotine by itself isn’t any worse than caffeine. I hate that puritanical American bulldozers right and left, call nicotine pouches and vapes tobacco products. Shut the fuck up nerds. Pop a zynn and watch some TV.
