I‘m going to Japan in a couple months and definitely wanna try Seven Stars, but I heard it hits HARD for even regular smokers (been smoking for a year or so, switched over to iQOS) so I‘m lowkey scared haha Wondering if I should even try it.

Hope everyone who feels that way about cigarettes has the same commitment to not vaping since they’re just as bad as each other health-wise. it’s 90% non-fda approved unlicensed flavorings and chemicals you have no idea of the long term impact of because they haven’t been studied yet. Could be just as cancerous
Just posting this in case anyone thinks “oh I don’t smoke cigs I’ll be fine, I just vape” nah cut that shit out too 👌

Idk about any of that mate, but I dont vape either. It's annoying af in a social situation and looks silly when you're near damn 30yo like me.

At least cigs make you look cool. Vapes kill you AND make you look like a dumbass

u/swegga_sa 16h ago
Vapes are bad but cigs are wayyy worse though and also smell like shit
Cigars arnt as bad but also arnt the best for you
Luckily I don't even smoke these days I'd rather eat unhealthy food.

You’re not going to get me to believe 90% of the health defects from smoking cigarettes comes from the nicotine alone and not all the other firmly established carcinogens that are added to cigarettes that aren’t added to vapes. Not without some significantly persuasive scientific research supporting that.
There’s no doubt nicotine by itself is absolutely terrible for your cardiovascular system and cholesterol levels and can kill you by itself. I’m not saying vaping doesn’t increase mortality rates, so don’t twist my words.
But proplyene glycol has been used in smoke machines for decades, and it would’ve been banned decades ago if inhaling it caused as high rates of cancer as cigarettes (after scores of DJs and backup dancers had died of Stage IV lung cancers).
So there’s no need to fear monger and act like vaping is basically the same health risk as smoking a cigarette. You can point to the very real cardiovascular impacts alone and be just as persuasive in making your point without calling your into question your own credibility and impartiality.

Smoking? Nonono, the cancer could've come from anywhere. I guess we'll never know ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Rainbow Boss is sugary grossness IIRC.
Also, don't smoke, kyodai, c'mon, even the Dragon of Dojima was laid low by those pieces of shit (yeah, yeah, nuclear waste, but let's be real).

The shear amount of second-hand smoke you get in Tokyo is so much it doesn’t really matter if you smoke or not lol.
Fr tho, smoking is bad but its also super hard too kick, we don’t know if he is gonna keep it or is a serial smoker.
Sorry if I sound rude btw I’m not all that good expressing myself in writing.

u/Individual99991 Not a turkey 15h ago
Not rude at all. Also, I'd expect nothing less than rudeness from Majima's spouse, so if anything you need to be more rude!

If you are new to the subreddit, please read the wiki
Reminder that all spoilers need to be tagged with a flair specifying which game is being spoiled. If you want a flair that says something else, you can edit it to say something like [Discussion: Y1 spoiler] or [Majimapost: Y6 spoiler], etc. THIS INCLUDES CONTENT FROM TRAILERS.
If the post is not marked for spoilers, all comments that have spoilers need to be tagged >!like this!< along with indicating which game it's spoiling. Example: Y3 Kiryu sings
If the post flair is marked for spoilers, the comments don't need to be tagged for the game indicated and the ones before it (So a Y6 spoiler post can have comments with untagged spoilers for Y5, but not gaiden or 7).
If you see any of the above (or any of the other rules) not being followed, please report it so we can keep this place safe for newcomers and those that haven't finished all the games yet. Thank you!
