    Hell yeah lead poisoning is back in vogue baby!

    TL;DR, Researchers found non-safe levels of heavy metals from vapes, particularly lead and antimony. Paper states that a days use of a vape is the equivalent to 19 packs of cigarettes for lead exposure.

        Are they? I was under the impression that violence has been trending downward for some time.

          I included the “/s” to attempt to make clear I was being mildly sarcastic. If you’re unfamiliar, it’s supposed to be a reference to old HTML coding, and a slash would denote the end of a programming statement. “/s” has been shorthand for a long time for “this is the end of a sarcastic statement.” Hope that helps make it make more sense!

            Yeah, I got that. The mild sarcasm part. As in “I still half believe this statement but I’m saying it with a silly face for plausible deniability” sarcasm that people typically employ when it comes to topics like these

            Ultimately doesn’t matter but the snarky response is unwarranted

              That was not intended as snarky, just so you know. I was genuinely trying to be helpful, because I thought perhaps that’s why you were confused.
