I don't get money until the end of the month.
no money
I die now
Not everybody can work in a society, some need to idle. There isn't even enough jobs for everybody and of those that are there at least half are already completely useless and just an excuse to pay people money and keep them occupied
>But the solution is. Experiments with fire ants showed that the key to avoiding jams and solving ones that do occur is idleness — 30 percent of the ants do 70 percent of the work. And that turns out to be ideal. Add more ants to the working pool, and productivity suffers.
I vape too, I just fixed my vape and I'm intending on vaping for some time so I can stop spending so much money on cigarettes. But yeah, as you said, they made it illegal to buy vape juice now and the only way to buy them are over the internet. But I don't know enough about vape juice to know how much nicotine to put inside them, so I got fucked by these new laws. All of this can be blamed on zoomer kids who vape, if it wasn't for them it would still be legal.
Fucking kids, I swear to god.
Zoomer kids was just the blatant excuse just as they use thems kids now to screen any and all messengers like Whatsapp that those unhappy citizens pedos surely use to exchange harmful thoughts CP.
Having read through the forums 10 years ago while vaping still had heavy development ongoing, it was the tobacco industry who saw their pelts swimming away as vaping essentially was 0,05€ per day once you had good equipment and ironically the WHO also chipped in on regulation as they just plainly want to eradicate any and all addictions, they can't see vaping as a way less unhealthy way to consume nicotine, which by itself is mostly harmless and even used to treat autism.
The cost for those new "nicotine shots" also is brutal, essentially elevating vaping to the same cost as smoking.
Mixing your own juice isn't that hard at all, you just have to not be a dork and drink the whole bottle of concentrated nicotine base.
Going to bunker down on that for the next 10 years, easily keeps fresh for that long in the freezer once you refill it in glass bottles and seal the cap somewhat.
Is vaping really popular enough to compete with regular cigarettes sales? I wouldn't think so, but they still did lose a share of their market regardless. Also, I know a guy who mixes his own vape juice and had been doing so for a long time even before the ban was placed, I am thinking about eventually contacting him for some clandestine vape juice.
I can only highly suggest it.
When you buy nicotine base from now illegal sources, you can essentially get 3 years worth for 100 Euros while the same amount of shots would easily go into the thousands.
I bet it cut into their earnings to a large enough degree, in my old office in ~2010 back when I started vaping it was the most heaviest smoker that would visit the smokers lounge in a 20 minute rhythm that first started it off.
That guy burned through at least 2 packs per day and first was only smiled upon about his new "electronic cigarette", still one of those early stick battery pen vapes.
But after giving it a second thought, a lot of other smokers got a starter kit themselves, myself included and some just stuck at it, as the cough went away and cost decreased drastically.
Also don't underestimate how many people were able to slowly fade out nicotine from the juice and then quit the habit altogether, something that hardly ever comes up in official discussions, they still want to sell their shitty nicotine gum and adhesives.
And as I said, the market was run by vapers themselves, lots of small businesses that eventually started to developed more advanced vapes that catered to the communities needs and wishes.
Especially those small businesses got smashed without mercy by EU regulations, as so often before, they made things prohibitively expensive to enter the market at a small scale and they already had to struggle with cheap Chinese copies of products they initially developed and produced locally.
You can see the same thing happening in gastronomy for example.
