People talk about how unhealthy smoking is, but why did nobody talk cigarette tar contaminating the environment and third hand smoking?I've just had to clean a computer that reeked of a smokers room. The experience nearly drove me insane, especially from the paranoia of that dust and gunk getting kicked up or being deposited on the cleaning equipment and parts of the house.How does this nearly impossible to remove residue not become a bigger concern? It feels like only one step removed from the likes of asbestos or Chernobyl dust. Not only does it smell rancid, but also is every bit carcinogenic and clogging for your body as it smells.So why is tobacco tar not a global chemical hazard crisis?
>>16869806The tar coats the inside of your lungs, protecting them from other harms. The medical establishment doesn't want you to know this because they profit off of you getting sick. People working in asbestos mines didn't have health problems until the government banned smoking in the workplace, which removed the ability of miners to protect their lungs from Asbestos harm by coating them with tar from cigarette smoking.
it's not tobacco tar, it's black gooI already said too much
>>16869807It would be legitimately funny if this was actually true and you had actual evidence for it.
>>16869806I use pine tar as an ingredient in my wood finishing mix, I wonder how tobacco tar would do.
>>16869825I wanted to do experiments but the ethics committee said slicing open undergrads at the end of the study would be "inhumane". They were going to get free cigarettes so I don't see why it wasn't a fair trade.
>>16869806Just start smoking and then after a while the smell of smoke from computers won't bother you anymore
>>16869806are you a zoomer? there was a massive PR campaign in the 90s/2000s that told you how dangerous smoking was for you and it was largely successful. that and coupled with zoomers engaging in less risky behaviors in general has led to smoking rates plummeting. obviously many of them are now just vaping instead but that's another story.

>>16869914i did you stupid fucking zoomer. there's not enough reason anymore to treat tobacco tar as a "global chemical hazard crisis" because smoking rates have plummeted along with many countries banning its use in public.
>>16869892I'm a zoomer and I remember the campaign, but in the east people still smoke though not as much as they used to. And you can FEEL the smell when you walk into an old communist era building or get in the taxi sometimes. And cigarettes still get produced and consumed in huge numbers in the world, in fact the problem has only shifted to things like e-cigarettes and vaping especially among zoomers. Blue winston continues to be popular in my country. So the problem of emissions and third hand smoke remains, especially in the winter where you already deal with pollution from chimney smoke.
>>16870189Nigga you're scared of chimney smoke and your homies smoke Winstons???The only thing you're probably feeling is giardia you disgusting, third worlder.
>>16869825there are windows where it is true, such as the french study showing smokers were less susceptible to the original covid virus, speculation was the smoking killed the favored lung cells used by the virus. No research was done on this that I'm aware of though, obviously because the money was already going towards making new more infectious versions.
>>16869806You see, most people aren't faggots, at least for now.
>>16869806And risk all reductions of taxes? Oy vey. Who will fund or bail out the poor billionaires?
>>16870439Things like that is why I was skeptical of the 'everyone must take this injection' way of thinking that consumed the planet. Every time something came up like the smoking study, it was quickly denounced and that line of inquiry dropped. It might have been a dead end but given the context of events, it, along with dozens of other interesting findings from researchers around the world, should have been funded and put on a fast track to see if anything of value was there. Instead researchers and their findings were always demonized. It didn't take the scientific community very long to understand that doing any research that could possibly present alternatives to 'everyone must take this injection' was a good way to get marked as unworthy of funding.
>>16870415>t. never had to live around chimney smoke
