Thailand's Smoking Dads: A Growing Risk for Youth Amid Vaping Rise
Hi BKKready. A bit surprised by your nice response .... ''But I have been looking at this subject for a long time. Including my own addiction to tobacco, when I was young and easily brainwashed. No longer the case hehehe. Peer Pressure and Teen Behaviors Let's take a look at some statistics: 70% of teenagers who smoke cigarettes say they began smoking because they had friends who smoke, or because they felt pressured to try it. 55% of teenagers who tried drugs self-report doing so because of peer pressure." (end of excerpt). All about silly teens wanting to feel part of a group, as I was. But nowadays, vaping came into the picture, and is either replacing tobacco as a means of feeling part of it, or simply having moved on to being wiser, but unable to shake off this drug, which is surpassed by heroine and fentanyl currently, as level of addictive qualities. So these wiser people turn towards vaping, because it more socially acceptable. But the problem is the same, this highly addictive product, 'nicotine', is not going to let anyone shake it off easily. And it has to do with genetics. Drug Addiction, Genes, and Your Environment WebMD https://www.webmd.com › mental-health › drug-addiction... May 23, 2567 BE — Studies suggest that about half of a person's risk of developing a drug addiction is based on their genetic makeup. There is no single gene that is responsible for drug addiction, but multiple genes are associated with it. Some of these genes include: DRD2: The TaqI A minor (A1) allele of this gene is associated with alcoholism. It is also involved in other substance use disorders, such as cocaine, nicotine, and opioid dependence. CHRNA2: Low levels of expression of this gene are associated with cannabis use disorder. CUL3, PDE4B, and PTGER3: These genes are related to smoking or alcohol use. HIST1H2BD: This gene is associated with cocaine dependence. OPRD1: The rs1042114 (G80T) and rs2234918 (T921C) SNPs in this gene are associated with drug addiction. OPRK1: Genetic polymorphisms of this gene have been studied in association with substances. Environmental factors, such as stress, can also trigger the development of drug addiction. Stress hormones can induce epigenetic changes, which are regulations of gene expression that affect the expression of genes. But there are studies that identify one 'gene' as a main vector for drug addiction. But then, I thought that pointing out that the problem of addiction in this instance was about "nicotine', which is found highly in tobacco, and also in "vaping' products. They both originate from the biggest scam of all times, Tobacco manufacturers. If their products were not already generating so much money, they could never today obtain governmental authorization to sell this poison.... Regards -

Kash Patel's "Government Gangster" Hit List
So it is - that'll teach me for not reading the entire thread. So let me now say, if he pardons Schiff ( and I regard that as unbelievable ) then the Democratic Party is finished. It will be a direct admission from a Democrat President that his party cannot be trusted to govern. But worse: If you think Trump will be vengeful in the first two years of his Presidency, wait to you see what will happen if he retains control of the House and Senate after the midterms. -
