    Coke zero is worse for your health. Artificial sweeteners have pretty bad health effects, especially the one used in coke.

    It is heavily suspected of being able to cause, heart issues, and having the counter intuitive effect to actually make your brain want more sugar, because the complete sugar activation mechanism isn’t triggered properly. It is also slightly suspected to cause cancer, although researchers don’t agree at all on this subject.

        Diet and sugar-free sodas are all marketing BS. It’s all meant to get one to think it’s “healthy” rather than “less terrible”

        I’d agree otherwise, else Coke Zero wouldn’t exist I guess.

        Everyone cares for their health, they just think it’s “not that bad”, which it is in a way, but that depends on the level on health and risk you’re willing to have

          I’m not a doctor but my understanding of the topic is that it’s pretty clear : any soda is bad.

          Sure, a Coke a week, in a cocktail or otherwise, does not matter much but AFAIK people who buy entire packs (as in the photo) drink sodas at every meal and that’s unhealthy over long term, no matter what brand or type of soda it is.

          So assuming that’s a well known medical fact and people still do it, then one can say they do NOT care for their health, no?

          in what situation is low temp vapor worse than burning smoke and ash in your lungs, ignore the chemicals, which are always better in vapes, even american spirit all natural tobacco have chemicals and aren’t really all natural, tar is always worse

            In the situation that you are putting food flavorings in your lungs. Not made to go there… if you’re just vaping pure pg / vg that’s different. Look up popcorn lung for an example of why food flavorings should not be inhaled.

              either way vaping is stupid if youve never smoked, in my case I had gotten into the really bad habit of bong rips with weed and tobacco and vaping made my health a lot better, now I need to taper off the vaping, usually working out helps a lot with that, just staying busy

              Vaping does lead to excessive nic use I think 50mg being the norm is a problem, it was like 5mg when I started at freebase than salt came out and every disposable uses that

              Popcorn lung was caused by vitamin e and was only seen through thc black market vapes, it seems you havent done your research, vaping has not been shown to cause popcorn lungs, ive actually seen tons of posts about this on reddit vaping with smarter ppl than me talking about it and posting studies. Cigs do cause popcorn lung. Its more a factory chemical thing tho

        Nope. Vaping is so much better (less bad) than smoking. Combustion sucks.

        I suggest you do your research.
