It is not smoke ! It is vapour. From the NHS's own website https://www.nhs.uk/better-health/quit-smoking/ready-to-quit-smoking/vaping-to-quit-smoking/vaping-myths-and-the-facts/ In 2022, UK experts reviewed the international evidence and found that "in the short and medium-term, vaping poses a small fraction of the risks of smoking". Cigarettes release thousands of different chemicals when they burn – many are poisonous and up to 70 cause cancer. Most of the harmful chemicals in cigarette smoke, including tar and carbon monoxide, are not contained in vape aerosol. People who switch completely from smoking to vaping have significantly reduced exposure to toxins associated with risks of cancer, lung disease, heart disease and stroke.

Of course there is. There is no way that this story is true as it is being told. But these stories pass through the media and people believe them. It feeds the narrative and effects legislation.

Vaping is safe. I don't even believe the prognosis. Have medical professionals made this prognosis ? Or has some karens jumped to conclusions ? This whole story looks made up. We know for a fact that vaping is safer than smoking. Hundreds of studies have been done. How many 12 year olds were hospitalized back in the day when everyone smoked and kids got a hold of them regularly ? Smoking causes long term health effects. It doesn't blow out your lungs in 2 years. Neither would vaping if we pretend for a minute that it is as bad as smoking. The story is made up.

Just make sure the tuk tuk driver doesn't over charge you by a 100 baht. Cant have that.

Over charging drivers will be the very least of their concerns. Some taxi man charged you 200 baht more than he should have ohh ahhh

elon musk is the biggest fraud that ever lived.

100 feet is a problem but not the main cause. There was still a traffic conflict alert after the controller vectored the airplane into the path (route 4) of the helicopter. And instead of correcting it instantly , he just radioed the helicopter to get a visual (at night) 80% controllers fault , 20% helicopters fault.

The controller had a conflict alert warning on his screen and all he did was ask the heli to miss the jet. Instead of vectoring one or the other as soon as the warning came up. Which is the protocol. And yes , the heli was 100 feet high. But it should never have been in a position to miss a plane by 100 feet anyway

Then go live in the boonies. Complaining about noise while living in a busy city is mad

Maybe you should enlist to the fun police

Yeah. Never stop if the flow of traffic is ignoring them anyway. If there's a break in the traffic and you are one of the first cars, then stop for them. The moto rider is a complete idiot too. Anytime you see a car stop on the road, you slow TF down and verify why they are slowing The pedestrians also must be attentive and if you see something, just run or at least be prepared to dodge something.

That is total nonsense. There is a huge middle economy in places like Russia that nobody in the west ever admits exist. There are millions of normal middle class Russians that make their living in the private sector

Smoke cannabis just once and you'll realize that none of these stories are caused by cannabis. Cannabis makes you feel the opposite.

It obviously wasn't the dope. But since the dope is legal, they do meth and go on rampages and then blame the dope, because it is legal

Lots of foreigners doing cheap drugs from questionable sources. How do you think they are staying up all night ? Coffee ?

The dumb conspiracy nonsense of course.

What a load of complete rubbish.

He tried. Gotta give him credit for that.

Looks like a minor thing that happens almost daily where alcohol is consumed

Lets hear it farang boomers "ban Chinese, Indian and Russians!"

Helmets are lame. He's just letting it out. Trying to have a moment of fun on a dull day. Props to this chap

I recreationally vape. And have never smoked

Have you ever vaped even ? A neutral flavor is basically undetectable

It doesnt. But that won't stop the health karens from trying to convince ppl of that

It is not anyone's job yo babysit adults. When you rent a motorcycle anywhere , let alone Thailand , the responsibility is your own. Period. These crashes have nothing to do with maintenance. And even that is the responsibility of the rider. Inspect the bike before you rent. Take it for a ride and if anything seems off , return it.
