Vaping fluid, hydrophobic coatings
Not sure why people keep saying microplastics. That's been known for a long time now.
Wait what's wrong with hydrophobic coatings? Are telling me coping techwear drip could kill me?
drip is such a dumb word
No, think about it, it makes a lot of sense. If you are covered in water, you are dripping wet. If you are covered in good clothes, you are covered in drip.
Vaping "fluid" actually is not 100% safe which is proven, but it is 95% safer than smoking cigarettes as proven by the UK Royal college of physicians and is useful as a smoking cessation tool. I do not condone anyone to start vaping if you do not smoke, but would recommend going to a local vape shop and look at using it as a path to quit smoking if you do so already, and lower your nicotine level over time, and then quit vaping when your down to 0mg of nicotine. Disposable vapes are waste waste waste. I hate that convenience stores sell them.
Source: worked in the industry for a decade and consider myself quite knowledgeable on ecigarettes ("vapes") and the Eliquid ("vape fluid") they use.
I mean, idk about vaping. I think we all knew that was dangerous lol.
The way that it has been positioned by the smoking industry as being better/healthier than traditional smoking.
Wouldn't surprise me if it turns out to be worse.
