#Smoking or habits like that , besides the misc non public acts of the people automatically generates the need for non public spaces , from communes to act specific spaces( bars to clubs) to private proparty and hence #capital does seem to be a human right as a medium of exchange , its however , the distribution which gets manipulated , like when sales is not in open market ( much like public space) , pricing cant be fair .
there , acceptance and norms are economic and political , they ve little to do with with the individual

Objective measures of smoking and caffeine intake and the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes

“We've known for a long time that smoking during pregnancy is not good for the baby, but our study shows that it's potentially much worse than previously thought. It puts the baby at risk of potentially serious complications from growing too slowly in the womb or from being born too soon.”

Higher fees could reduce tobacco outlets

Significantly increasing the licensing fees for tobacco retailers is an effective way to reduce the number of shops selling tobacco and should be considered again, according to Australian researchers. #smoking

I live in a ground floor condo. My front door is about 20 feet away from a community bench situated in a "park".

It's only 70º and really nice outside so my front door is open.

Right now there is a lady sitting on the bench smoking a cigarette and making hacking sounds like she's about to lose one or both lungs.

If #RishiSunak is considering a progressive ban on the purchase of #cigarettes & thereby moving towards making #smoking illegal, one can only presume that his chums lobbying for the #tobacco industry now feel that their employers (#BigTobacco) have a handle on alternative income streams - #vaping perhaps?

But, one thing is for sure Rushi would not have floated such a proposal without first checking with his advisors (who in turn would have checked with the lobbyists & those they represent!)

What I’ve discovered after a few months of going to this park:

The same woman (from my original post) always comes to this park around lunch time on her scooter, wearing a mask, then proceeds to take it off so she can start smoking…

The park does have a No Smoking sign, but why would that make any difference?

There is no escaping cigarette smoke in Taiwan. Smokers are everywhere and are usually incredibly inconsiderate.

This was a long journey but vaping has made it much more healthier.
All smoking symptoms (coughing, hard breath, insomnia) were gone in first couple of months of vaping. Then I'd been lowering nicotine concentration I use once in a couple of years.

Random thought... why do we have alcoholics anonymous and not smokers anonymous?

Is it that for most parts of the world alcohol addiction pre-dates smoking as an addiction, or that the negative effects of smoking were only recently stigmatized?

Or maybe smoking isn't considered an addiction or one that deserves meetings about it?

RLM Arts poster catalog, p669: Healthy Workplaces

This poster was made for a collaboration between tobacco awareness groups and #Minnesota’s labor community. It treats workplace smoking not as a personal fault, but as part of the long, collective struggle for safe work environments. It’s an example of RLM’s frequent collaboration with community and labor groups, and of union commitment to worker health:

Get it here: https://www.rlmartstudio.com/product/healthy-workplaces/

An intricate vertical poster, with illustrations depicting people of many different occupations, inside a brown frame. They include a meatpacker, a server, someone typing on a computer, a tall building on fire evoking the Triangle Shirtwaist disaster, and miners marching with a sign that says "I can live without black lung". In boxes with black text down the middle are a series of phraes, one letter in each phrase is bolded and colored red to spell out R-E-S-P-E-C-T: Workers' rights, clean air, solidarity, union power, safety, collective action, healthy workers. At the bottom is the large text in all caps, Health Workplaces Work! next to a cigarette butt being put out. Going up either side of the black frame are the words, "Every worker has the right to breathe clean air," and in Spanish, "todo empleado tiene el derecho de respirar aire puro." Campaign contact info and a logo is in tiny type at the bottom.

Smoking in cars is completely banned in only three European countries.

Countries can apply no ban, a partial ban or a complete ban.

Germany plans to enforce a partial ban on smoking in cars to protect children and pregnant women from exposure.

Smoking in cars is only completely banned in Italy, Latvia, Lithuania and Turkey. This means that complete bans on smoking in cars are in place in only four out of 39 European countries.

Content warnings in #movies these days are like cookie warnings on websites.

It's nice that people include things such as "#smoking", "alcohol" and so on as possibly undesirable and warn about them.

It would be even nicer if the screenwriters didn't needlessly insert them (not to mention random sex scenes) in the vast majority of movies where this makes no sense at all. They're making it more "realistic", they're going to say.

#Australia has banned recreational #vaping and is moving towards #SmokingCessation only #vapes.

"Just like they did with #smoking, #BigTobacco has taken another #addictive product, wrapped it in shiny packaging and added flavours to create a new generation of #nicotine addicts," said Health Minister Mark Butler.

How long before #Ireland (at the forefront of #SmokingBans) has the courage to ban vaping?

https://www.rte.ie/news/2023/0502/1380188-australia-vaping/

["Vaping has become the No 1 behavioural issue in high schools. And it’s becoming widespread in primary schools. Over the past 12 months, Victoria’s poisons hotline has taken 50 calls about children under four becoming sick from ingesting or using a vape.

“Just like they did with smoking, big tobacco has taken another addictive product, wrapped it in shiny packaging and added flavours to create a new generation of nicotine addicts."]
- 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘉𝘶𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘳 , 𝘍𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳

[The Australian government will ban the importation of nonprescription vaping products – including those that do not contain nicotine – in the most significant tobacco and vaping control measures in the country in a decade.]

This is a fantastic move.

Vapes have long included nicotine while not mentioning it on the packaging, leading to kids getting hooked and developing a bloody hard to eradicate addiction.

The banning of single-use vapes will also help clean up the environment and rid us of millions of small lithium-ion batteries currently being left lying around as litter - and massive fire hazards.

📚 New research examines the marketing strategies used to promote vapes / e-cigarettes in Australia & New Zealand.

⭐ Health claims include:

▪️ "vaping has been proven to be up to 95% less harmful than smoking cigarettes"

▪️ "you will feel your breathing improve in a matter of days"

❓ What impact might these marketing strategies have on young people?

❓ Are marketers legally responsible if they make false health claims? Do they have a moral responsibility?

✔️ Create a fact-based ad for vape products. Do not use glamorous imagery. Instead, use images that reflect the reality of the health and environmental impacts from using vape products. Include citations to support any facts used in your ad.

Abstract depiction of a man in a smoke filled room smoking a cigarette. The room is glowing in orange and yellow with swirls of grey smoke filling the air around him. The man is wearing glasses with hazel eyes and a crooked nose. His lips are exaggerated in size and puckered around the cigarette. The cigarette angles downward with the cigarette's cherry angled toward the bottom of the frame. Coming from the cigarette is a puff of smoke bleeding upwards across the side of the man's face bleeding into his skin and the room around him creating a stream of opaqueness breaking up the chaotic stagnation behind him. The man's expression is dismissive, almost disgust with the situation around him. Being disgusted while being disgusting. Being dismissive while being dismissed.
