The Chinese aren't ahead of the curb here, they are significantly behind. Flavored cigs got banned in most countries many years ago because they did too good a job. I expect the same thing will happen in China soon.

Is that gold line where the filter ends?
I want my smokes to make me feel like I'm dying a little bit, thanks.
Here ya go bud, 18 mg tar. I think there's an unfiltered too but I can't find it right now.

Or just eat ice cream that isn't laced with a highly addictive substance.
No?
In Iraq rhey have cigs with two different flavor capsules in the filter, it was a novelty. I do remember carrying crushes at bars, in case you met someone who liked menthols. I'm glad I quit, but it was fun at the time.
I don't miss the smoking so much. I miss the social aspects. I met so many people just by smoking outside occasionally. Didn't even have to do anything. Just stand there and stuff starts happening around you.
They aren't that new, on Brazil, you just pop a small bubble to get it mentol flavored, i used to sold a lot of those not so long ago
So theres this american dude on youtube who cycles through China and the way he connects to locals is usually by offering cigarettes. Very fun videos; "Bicycling trough China, one cigarette at a time" was the first I think I saw.
cigarette
every bite
unsubscribes
My hope is that part is a mistranslation. The picture shows it being lit, anyway.
Every single bite?
I don't like smoking. I think I ought to be free to decide that for myself. I can't, or by proxy, make that determination for anyone else - even though I don't think they should be smoking if they choose to.
If it didn't make so much money, kids wouldn't be vaping. It's an integral part of the American performance that, "nothing we can do about it", is just what everone sees, and therefore thinks. We could prosecute parents for letting their kids have them, prosecute the gas stations for peddling it, prosecute the companies making them cheap and disposable. All of that would turn off the faucet on a billion dollar industry though, so it becomes part of our performance in one way or another. We have fundamentally bet that our world is a better place with smoking children in it, than without. That is what Capitalism does, that is how it does it. That is why it needs to be controlled like a rabid dog on a leash.
I appreciate disposable vapes existing because there are unfortunately few ways to actually get plain lithium batteries in alaska.
I HATE that THC disposables are legal. I've had 2 of them and keep them in a little jar in case they ever randomly choose to catch fire

also not to mention how horrible they are for you. I only used them when I was a minor and couldn't get weed by myself. (admittedly I am the issue 😅)
There's not enough education that you can enjoy weed without risking lung cancer by using a dry herb vaporizer and keeping it at ~380°F (depends on the strain tho) and it doesn't make you cough up a lung every time you take a blinker!! also flower is cheaper than carts too!! (though the device is a bit of an investment at $200).
it's fucking great and I'm tired of getting "I don't care about my body" from ppl any time I recommend it because I love my friends and want them to understand what they're actually doing!!!
also it has a pocket bong attachment. Bitches love the pocket bong.

edit: also I forgot to mention you can bake the burnt flower in brownies or something and get a BONUS high from the same flower. I don't understand why normal bowls are used at all tbh, they're so wasteful
edit 2: also I only talk about weed and not nicotine because I am NOT responsible enough to expose myself to chemically addictive drugs
I've got bad lungs and a dry herb vape was a game changer. I miss the taste of burning flower, but it's not bad and it feels so much less rough. I'm off pot at the moment, but when I'm back to doing it, dry herb + edibles all the way.
And yeah fuck disposables.
What is the device you posted? Is it the center of it that heats up? Fits into your shirt pocket? 🤔😉
The FDA is the reason sketchy Chinese disposables flooded the market. They killed the industry here to protect tobacco tax revenue.
Before that, there were manufacturers using ISO certified cleanrooms to produce eliquid who voluntarily submitted to 3rd party audits. They all closed doors because the FDA forced them to submit every SKU to the PMTA process, which costs $250k-2m per SKU.
That means that for one eliquid flavor, they'd need to submit a separate PMTA request for every nicotine strength and base ratio, which could end up costing tens of millions for nothing if the PMTA was denied.
Can we please not advertise cigarettes on Lemmy?
Looks like Asian plums. I've seen that it's a popular flavor in candy and stuff in Japan at least.
