I'm actually in favor of the menthol ban tbh. Menthol cigs are legitimately worse for your health, and the majority of teens start smoking with menthol cigarettes. I guarantee you teen smoking would be a much smaller issue if all they had to choose from was Reds and Camels.

But the juul ban s*** is dumb. Transparent move from old money tobacco lobbies trying to push new, better alternatives out of their market

Mood

those damn mango pods

rightfully banned though lmao ushered in an entire new era of smokers

No, NY is a state without these protections - however I don't think the solution is to specifically focus on protections for obesity. like shouldn't the solution just be to adopt the universal workers' rights clauses? ofc thats nowhere in the conversation and we all know why

"The sponsor of New York City’s bill, Shaun Abreu, a councilman from northern Manhattan, said that he gained 40 pounds earlier in the pandemic and noticed a change in how people treated him. Someone touched his stomach, for example, and told him he was getting too big."

Exactly

Arguably healthier for you than being fat tbh

Yeah i was about to ask...isnt this already illegal in a lot of places? If its not illegal, surely you can sue for being fired without cause if you worked for pretty much any moderately sized company

whole country fat as f*** bruh

Bro I work in cancer research. You are giving random people somatic mutations in their lungs. Why do you think you deserve the right to do that?

And don’t give me some what about X answer

that was more of a joke tbh but i agree the juul ban was idiotic especially since the real issue was actually bootleg disposables which they did nothing about. even for actual kids/underage smokers, the issue has always been access to disposables, not juuls

Agreed

im against bullying but lets properly advocate for obese citizens to lose weight, and the only real outcome that seems to have an impact is bullying

Yup

wtf was the point when elf bars are still here

exactly

Bro this is so sad fr. The fact that whales think they thick and continue to whalify they body think “thick” is the new skinny is absolutely disgusting. Not a single woman in my work place skinny. My waist size 26 bro

I be smoking them too though

thread making me want a smoke, f***

normal sized humans becoming a rare species fr

I could understand how obesity happens to people and why it would be unfair to fat shame. Some people simply do not have access to be well educated on what it is they are consuming wether it be due to lack of time or lack of resources. As a result, they consume the cheapest things which tend to be the sugary, fatty foods. Compound that with having no time (working a lot, family, sedentary lifestyle post work) I could see how it would be unfair to judge someone who simply can’t make it to the gym or read about nutrition.

Good luck to lawmakers in this era, so much s***

It’s over

I saw those on gas station sign and thought it was talking about f***ing makeup, no idea they're vapes
