    Natural selection was somewhat curbed with modern science advancement. I’m glad* to see it making a comeback.

    What’re the chances of convincing them to take back up Radium as cure all, since the cancer they’ll get will totally be cuted hy AI anyway ? We might be able to solve this whole AI issue in a few years

    Do they promise? Do they also promise to never spend healthcare money on lung cancer? And will they promise to smoke far away from us so we never have to smell that s***?

    Somehow I bet they won’t make those promises. Because they’re liars. Because that whole field is built on lying. Vaporware can’t make anything real, ever, than the people who actually do the software development are keenly aware of that fact.

    Cancer isn’t the only thing to worry about with cigarettes here’s my experience :

    I quit cigarettes for the second time when COVID happened. I haven’t touched a cigarette in almost 8 years.

    My sex drive was destroyed, bringing up the laundry wasnt easy, bringing my groceries up the stairs wasn’t easy, I couldn’t bike the miles I can now; My TMJ was going nuts, my breath smelt like shit, my teeth were being destroyed not just yellowing but actual tooth loss and pain, the amount of arguments that I think I spawned just to have a cigarette, the amount of emotional indifference it causes because you’re never truly dealing with anything you’re just smoking instead of dealing with whatever the fuck is going on and actually solving life problems is also fucked up.

    And man are they stupidly addictive, like there’s no possible way to buy a pack of Natural American Spirits and go, “I’m only gonna smoke once a week,” trust me I’ve been there and it’s impossible to just be like “I’m only gonna do this when I…” because you will want it again and even if you don’t them, they might want you and that’s the worst.

    It’s the absolute worst!!! 15$/pack too like what the fuck!!! There’s never gonna come a day where cancer research will outweigh the facts that cigarettes will destroy you. There’s over 5,000 chemicals in one cigarette too, it’s not just nicotine and tobacco, it’s rat poison and arsenics.

    “Sankar did not name any researchers or provide evidence for the claim.”

    Cool. Excellent thing to write a news article about, Business Insider.
