What if they put nicotine in ice cream?

The Canadian Lung Association made an experimental commercial to see adults and children reacting to the news that nicotine had been added to the ice cream sold from an ice cream truck.

In the United States, there are over 7,000 vape flavours. In Canada, all but 3 flavours have been banned: tobacco, mint, and menthol.

I quit smoking 16 years ago and haven't touched one since. I've never vaped, nor have I tried e-cigarettes. I've been around all three, but vaping seems to be a favourite amongst young people - especially the flavoured variety. I'm thoroughly convince that vaping is a 'start smoking' tool. It is not a 'stop smoking' tool.

What are your thoughts on young people vaping?

All the crap we're breathing in and eating why not.

OMG, the video is amazing.

Yeah, most of the young guys I know all vape, they act like it's smoking clean. To me it's just smoking!

I gotta share that video.

I think young people who are attracted to nicotine are better off vaping than smoking because it does no damage, unlike smoking which does.

^ They're not safe. Google it.

I've read a lot of articles on vaping, I'm convinced it's safe.

Virtually nobody amongst my circle of friends smokes or vapes. The only one I can think of who vapes is an ex-smoker. Vaping may be a route to tobacco for the young I suppose, but I haven't seen it.

... I quit smoking 16 years ago and haven't touched one since. I've never vaped, nor have I tried e-cigarettes.

I quit my 50-a-day habit around the same time, largely inspired by your example and encouragement.

It was lot easier than I would've thought and I haven't touched a [STRIKE]fag[/STRIKE] cigarette, or felt the desire to, since then.

I only know one person who still smokes, even though he has COPD.

I see a lot young people vaping though. Surely it can't be good for the lungs? Nicotine is a poison.

I think I quit smoking approximately 10-12 years ago. I still miss it with my morning coffee and will sometimes grab a pen and pretend I'm inhaling a deep puff of wonderful smoke into my lungs.

Hoody used to just grab a fag whenever he wanted? Pervert!

 

[LeicsDom]

I gave up smoking 13 years ago, long before vaping
I view vaping as just smoking but in a different guise
The liquids are completely unregulated and could be worse for you than cigarettes

What are your thoughts on young people vaping?

They might as well, their future is fucked anyway.

I definitely appreciate the deterrent message that the social experiment was meant to be.

Literally speak, if nicotine were actually to make its way into junk food that attracts kids, or any conventional foods that people enjoy, it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Throughout (American) history, things that were considered outright unsafe for consumption had somehow made it's way into medical health. The biggest example of this is AZT drug that was meant to help alleviate the complications of AIDS. The synthetic man-made stuff was poisonous, and experts highly discouraged the passage of it. Still. it was somehow (unethically?) passed by some cheap and half-honest method. Gay men affected by AIDS came along and hung on its every advertisement's word and started taking that horrid "medical" concoction, which actually doomed them to death much faster than the natural "HIV" could have possibly done.

With that being said, It won't alarm me for even a fourth of a second if one day I discovered that conventional ice cream somehow had a disguised variant of nicotine as one of its secret ingredients. It further wouldn't surprise me if it were crookedly advertised as some health enhancement method.

Personally, I'm not feeling the threat of it. I stick to true organic foods (or simply natural foods) of trusted brands from health food stores (mostly not including Costco), and I'm confident that unnaturally poisonous ingredients would not be injected into its ice cream. (I do mainly shy away from Costco USDA organic food items; I'll save that for another thread another day, since I don't want to diverge too far from nicotine in ice cream.)

Here's a recipe for ya.

[STRIKE]Did anyone make bath salts 'flavored' ice cream yet? Asking for a friend.[/STRIKE]
