What item you use frequently would you be least surprised to learn is secretly bad for you? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

This is sort of a shower thought because this morning I was using some shaving cream and I thought, if it turns out in 5 years this was giving me cancer, I wouldn't be surprised.

Comes out a goo, ejected from a can with force, immediately becomes a foam?

Do you have anything you use that you think might be too good to be true?

I figure we may see documetaries in yhr next decade on how Vape industry was complicit like the tabacco industry was

[–] tyler@programming.dev 12 points 10 months ago

There already are those documentaries? Jule or whatever it’s called has already been doing the exact same stuff that the tobacco industry did for literally a decade now.

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

A majority of vape brands are already owned by tobacco companies.

I mean, that's just how capitalism works. The health of your consumers isn't relevant, unless a law mandates it.

I wouldn't be surprised. I wish there was a way to enjoy flavor without any horrific side effects.

Tea, maybe?

I also drink tea but in between swallows I could see myself enjoying a vape, if they weren't bad for me. Which is why I have never used one.
