What the hell are you on about? Nicotine is not bad for you.
Paid for by Big Nicotine ya dummy. There is overwhelming evidence to the contrary. But if you look hard enough, you can always find text on the Internet that aligns with the viewpoint that you want to have, regardless of its accuracy
That's Vanderbilt University...the fuck? There are tons of other studies that show it's being researched for a net gain.

What about that one?
Caffeine isn’t good for you either, if we want to be pedantic. You can “the fuck,” all you want but showing how a bad thing is like another bad thing doesn’t make it a good thing.
Did...did you even read any of the links I posted? Apparently not...things aren't bad just because you say they are... uranium can blow us all up or provide energy for us. The sun... literally is killing us when we go outside, but it grows our food and provides us a habitable temperature to survive in. Why is your brain so black and white...
It would be wise to not purposefully sit out in the sun. If you’re going to do it, don’t try to make it sound perfectly fine. I won’t stop you from doing it. Just don’t lie to yourself and everyone around you by saying “but I wear sunscreen, so I can bake out there with no problem.”
Own your bad habits lol.
You absolutely didn't get anything from my comment...it has nothing to do about sitting in the sun.
You said the sun is killing us when we go outside. I reference the sun and its damaging effects. I read your entire comment, but as far as getting anything salvageable from it, I don’t believe so. You are bringing up uranium and radiation from the sun and comparing it to the voluntary inhalation of drugs. You should expect a bit of pushback.
