    I’m amazed that you are here. I’m super happy! My love, if the calm after the storm could always be this wonderful, I’d want the wind to blow until it wakes the dead, and whipped up waves

    Adelle,
    Thank you for sharing your post. I found your ideas to be very interesting. I agree with your idea that “I want to be a good person, but I don’t think religion is the only way to become one.” I also believe that one should have to subscribe to the beliefs to a certain religion just so that they get into the afterlife. I think that the i…Read More

  • Oliver,
    Great post! Your post talks about some interesting topics. I agree with your argument that less harmful drugs such as weed should be decriminalized. I also agree with your ideas about how our congressmen should represent the people’s opinions. I think that in your next post you should talk about how the prohibition of drugs increases…Read More

  • Ed,
    I believe that you are correct in your stance on parenting young adults. I agree that parents should watch over their teenagers and let them make their own mistakes. I have witnessed the negative effects of bad parenting myself. The kids that haven’t been given the chances to make bad decisions and learn from them seem to be arrogant and lack…Read More

    Are tobacco manufacturers using new flavors to target minors?

    • Johan,
      This is a very interesting post. It is somewhat frightening to think that big corporations would be targeting a younger demographic in the sale of potentially harmful e-cigarettes. Do you know if this is factual? I wonder if the multitude of flavors is just another way that these e-cigarette companies help smokers quit by offering a better tasting alternative to cigarettes. Also do you know why the advertisements you mentioned have not be shown in Utah?

    • Johan, I mean it when I say that this is an extremely insightful blog post with accurate information ranging from the selling of tobacco in general to the selling of e-cigarettes and electronic devices. I really like how you tied them all together and how you display the facts in an unbiased manner. I also like how you attribute the increasing popularity of these companies to their greed and possible motive for attempting to sell to minors. Very unbiased. Very factual. Amazing.

      In the process, my partners and I are also creating a blog regarding the same issue. You can access this blog at: https://wordpress.com/view/boycottnicotine.wordpress.com

      I suggest you check it out!

    • I agree with you. Based on my research on juul, vape Juice contains nicotine, propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, and flavorings. E- Cigarettes were imported to U.S only in 2006 so no long term effects are known. So just because it’s safer doesn’t mean it’s safe. People with asthma are triggered by e-cigarette more dramatically than smoking. People with lung conditions may be at higher risk of vaping from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. People say e-cigarettes are better because they don’t contain tobacco, but they release toxic chemicals such as- formaldehyde. One child even died from e-cigarette poisoning in 2014 after swallowing liquid nicotine. From 2013 to 2015, there was 1500 increase in children under 6 poisoned by nicotine in e-cigarettes. Please check our website on juuls for more information. Our goal is to reduce the accessibility in New York. https://wordpress.com/posts/my/freshpod.home.blog
