Thanks to all who voted so far in the poll!

NB: If you have not yet voted in the poll, please vote now! :)

@Rita Did you manage yet to give the poll options any more thought? :) perhaps it can be hard to settle on one option or another, though; there are often so many sides to a question, aren't there?

 

[Rita]

I guess I would have to vote not sure, but it’s nothing to do with not wanting to share - it’s not 50/50 because I think tobacco is a stronger addiction , but there are similarities x

@Rita Yes, nicotine is stronger (although you can get the really low tar); but like you say there are similarities; I do happen to think the comparison is valid. Thanks for your comment!

@Rita Thanks a lot for your vote! :)

A discussion on the other thread propted this one.

What do ppl think? are caffeine, nicotine, vaping, etc., comparable? or rather distinct?

(Thoughts?)

Unfortunately, all things can be abused in excess, Sugar (Obesity), Caffeine, Nicotine, etc. All the Sport Drinks, for example "Monster" brands are loaded with Caffeine. I'm guilty myself of drinking some of those Monster drinks. I don't know if it's just an American thing or a World thing. You name it and humans are indulging, excessively, in all kinds of dangerous stuff. The signs of our time we are living in. I believe Christ return is Imminent, whether it is the Rapture (if this is your belief) or at the time of Judgment, when everyone will bend their knee and confess Jesus is Lord.


Faith In Christ Alone Justifies Christians.
Christ On The Cross Paid For Our Sins.
His Righteousness Is Imputed To Us!
Jesus Christ ONLY is Worthy of all our Praise and Worship!

For those that are selecting "No, Not comparable at all." Let's hear your arguments of why you think that? I'm a Registered Nurse, American, with 10 years of experience in the Emergency Department. Debate me! And please identify your medical expertise. Caffeine and Nicotine are very much comparable. I will add though, that Nicotine, 3-(1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinyl)pyridine, attaches to your hemoglobin (red blood cells), and reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of the same. This is where SOB (shortness of breath) comes in to play. Both are very addictive and both can cause arrhythmias that can be deadly. Don't fall into the delusion that one is safer than the other.

Now that’s an interesting prospective to look at ......the medical side of things.
My son use to drink a lot of the monster energy drinks, and red bull is very popular in the UK- I hate them as I think the caffeine is way to High, and red bull has so much junk in it....but I think because it gives people a buzz, it can become as addictive as other things.

@Rita, Well you do indeed hear of even fitness trainers getting ill from those very strong energy drinks.

 

[farouk]

Interesting poll results so far; some quite distinct viewpoints.

(Probably hinging on the idea of what addition in its different forms and at its different levels really is.)

...’ it’s the looking down on others syndrome ‘ and ‘ Look at me I am getting it oh so right, and you are getting it oh so wrong ‘ !!! Lol
Rita

@Rita I think you would probably say this seems to be the case with some of the tattoo thread comments... :)

 

[Rita]

Sorry Farouk but I have mentioned that I will no longer discuss the issue of tattoos- I am actually done on the subject .....I know it’s important to you, and something you like to discuss, but I sadly just don’t need to be drawn into it , not with the attitudes within this forum.
I guess from this answer you could say my response to your last post is ‘ yes ‘ ....it doesn’t edify, it knocks down x
