Too Good To Be True
“E-cigarette” companies promised to let you smoke anytime, anywhere, without health risks.
Now we find out that those smoke-free cigarettes are full of, well… antifreeze.
Is anybody really surprised? Did we think that a chemical slick enough to cross the blood-brain barrier as smoothly as a post-plastic surgery druglord crosses a border could be contained by regular water vapor? Were we fools enough to believe the thick plumes exhaled by mall-kiosk vendors were really harmless?
Nicotine vapors apparently took more than water vapor to get into our lungs and bloodstream. Smoking, apparently, is still dangerous. And highly addictive. And available in chocolate, mint, lemon, vanilla, and coffee flavors.
