Still, how many more people must die for the sake of snake-oil smoke and deadly profit?...

IIRC that doesn't work. The craving is for a quantity of nicotine, so having less in each cigarette means more cigarettes. So not sure the tobacco industry will fight that hard. |

Meanwhile... The nicotine peddlers continue to have no morals: Market flooded by unsafe vapes aimed at children wrote: Trading standards in England and Wales say the market is being flooded by unsafe, disposable vapes aimed at children. Those are not the sort of "sweeties" to be given to children... Very slimy and eventually deadly. All in our deadly greedy slimy world...

"Don't look up?"... Pollution: 'Forever chemicals' in rainwater exceed safe levels wrote: ... rainwater in most locations on Earth contains levels of chemicals that "greatly exceed" safety levels. Poor, cheap, lax, poorly regulated industrial practices for greedy profit yet again poisons us all and our planet... Time to put a stop to that sooner rather than awfully too late?... All on our only one planet... Martin Edit: Clarification. See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

Payback time! TfL junk food advert ban: Has the policy cut obesity? wrote: A new study from top academics has claimed 100,000 obesity cases have been prevented due to a ban on junk food advertising on the Transport for London (TfL) network. Are we long overdue to put an end to the costly no-morals-no-cares unhealthy advertising? This really does cost lives. Stay healthy!

Sadly, we really are being badly sadly slimed: ZOE - How food can improve your mood wrote: ... Felice was the driving force behind the landmark study to determine if dietary intervention could help treat the symptoms of moderate to severe depression. Startling! Yet 'obvious'? Yet how can we have 'overlooked' and ignored this for so long?... That interview covers some aspects of what we call "mental health" and "anxiety", however, the findings that are discussed apply widely to how we all eat and enjoy our food and with that, how we enjoy our lives. (Keep with the interview, the practical comments come after quite a lot of back story. There are some good surprises in there...!) Enjoy!

How to not suffer getting slimed?... BloombergQuicktake - Fasting Your Way To 100 Years Old wrote: 28 Apr 2022 - Fasting studies suggest it can improve your health and lifespan. But one hurdle remains: very few people want to do it. Now scientists are finding ways to mimic a fasting state without actually fasting.

It looks like our fishing industries need to take a good hard look at themselves. A close look at the Great Pacific Garbage Patch reveals a common culprit. |

It looks like our fishing industries need to take a good hard look at themselves. If you have Netflix this documentary is a must-see. It also demonstrates that the majority of the oceanic plastic waste is due to commercial fishing. |
