Dachte es gibt Krankenfahrstühle und städtische Mobilitätsdienste für solche Leute. Auch es gibt Rampen und Absenkautomatiken bei den Öffis.

I use genitive all the time. Only when speaking dialect do I not need to use it “Dem Dibben sei Audo” instead of “Das Auto des Herrn” or “Des Herrens Auto” or stuff like that.

Im Kernstadt ist es wirklich unnötig ein Auto zu besitzen.

As a German, I have to say learning the grammar is pretty fucking hard. Especially the four cases. It took me years to get it right with few mistakes and I am a native. Sure compared to some Slavic languages, Hungarian, Gaelic and Chinese languages it isn’t that bad. However it is a lot harder than English, Dutch or Romance languages.

Thanks

Absolutely.

Agreed. Too much waste and not enough enforced regulation.

I am also an ex-smoker and hate smoking. I’d rather have my significant other who is a smoker though to rather vape because it doesn’t trigger my asthma and allergies. However cessation is sadly not an option for her right now because she already has depression and stuff and last time she tried stopping, she began to utter thoughts about actions I absolutely don’t want her to do.

Also vaping can eventually wean smokers off tobacco and make later cessation easier, because most people are really weary about the stuff I used to stop smoking (kratom and kanna) despite them being legal and far less dangerous than tobacco. Also smoking cessation is pretty damn hard and a lot of people here may be unaware how hard it is. Giving smokers options to an easier cessation or less dangerous nicotine consumption options should be the goal here.

The thing New Zealand did where everyone born after 2007 is banned from tobacco and nicotine products would be a decent action. I’d still be for nicotine free vaping as long as it isn’t throwaway products and strictly controlled. Maybe even allow THC vapes and psychedelics as long as they are controlled through state owned dispensaries like with Sweden and alcohol.

Also I am against alcohol and am abstinent from it.

We see what it has led to in Germany. Propyleneglycol and vegetable glycerine got the tobacco tax making it prohibitively expensive for anyone who isn’t a manufacturer or wholesaler. Vapeshops now have to sell PG and VG at like 200€ per liter when before tax they cost like 10 to 20€ per liter. If anything, they should have taxed the nicotine shots instead.

It is not smoke, but vapor. Smoke comes from burning. Vapor doesn’t, but rather consists of tiny droplets of liquid.

These are all the relevant papers I found on passive vaping in the first four pages of research paper search. I got access to like ten sites for research and there used to be a grey area site for accessing and downloading research papers (sort of like torrenting) but that site was taken down two or three years ago.

Most studies say that the health effects of passive vaping are insignificant and significant health problems are mostly found with unregulated throwaway THC vapes. Active vaping is another story and vaping PG at overvoltage with sub-ohm coils can produce formaldehyde and some other toxins. However overvolting a rig will also burn your mouth which is why the instance of producing said toxins is uncommon. More likely is that for active vapers the inhaling resistance of PG vapor may have some pulmonary irritations compared to water or glycerine vapor.

Vaping has existed for nearly 20 years now and it has been studied ad nauseam due to the same fears as with smoking. Most research shows that it is far less harmful than smoking if the compounds used remain at propyleneglycol, vegetable glycerine, flavoring and eventually nicotine (as nicotine itself does not cause cancer but is an addictive stimulant). Denying all the evidence is just delusional.

According to Cancer Research UK, there is no evidence that “passive vaping” has harmful effects. Vaping itself may not be harmless but far less harmful than tobacco products, given that it is just propyleneglycol, flavoring and nicotine. Uncontrolled imports from China may however contain more dangerous chemicals, so I’d advocate being lenient on self-mixing/custom vapes while being far stricter on imports.

Also while I advise against vaping indoors due to possible staining of walls from nicotine and pungent smells that may irritate people, it should still be allowed outside and on personal balconies and terraces.

In my experience smokers are more careless than vapers. Also cigarette smoke triggers my asthma while someone vaping propyleneglycol does not.

Nah, legalize weed, shrooms and coca leaves.

Why e-smoking? Why not just tobacco products?

Heutzutage bekomme ich immer noch ein bisschen, aber nicht so schlimm wie früher. Ich wohne aber leider in ner Kaff wo über 40% AfD gewählt hat und hier komme ich schlecht weg. Die Leute im Dorf dann meinen “Wir haben nix gegen dich. Du bist eine der Guten.”, was mich nicht so viel beruhigt wenn man bedenkt, dass diese Leute AfD gewählt haben.

Hoffentlich haben wir auch für lange Zeit solch ein Amt. Bin selber als teils-sintische Person in meiner Schulzeit antiziganistisch diskriminiert worden von Mitschüler*innen.
