Tobacco companies have been buying up vaping companies for many years, but they still can't escape the regulatory scrutiny of these products. So now they've come up with a new plan. Let's come up with a laboratory created type of nicotine. Let's do it in a test tube. It's not a tobacco product. Therefore we can lie to the FDA, we don't even have to report to the FDA. If people start turning into bunny rabbits from smoking the vape, we don't have to worry about that. There's nothing we have to report. If they show up with an extra eyeball. We have no idea what this new type of 6-methyl nicotine is gonna do, do we?
No.
We have no idea. It's not even studied enough to know what the long term is, but kids are smoking it every day and it's giving 'em a better buzz than regular nicotine.
Yeah. And I will actually, unfortunately, let me kind of correct you because we kind of do know what it does, and it's horrifying.
Okay.
In rodents, the lethal dose for 6-methyl nicotine is smaller than for nicotine. Studies also showed that the new synthetic nicotine was required to increase blood pressure and behavioral responses triggered by nicotine receptor activation. The analog even bound more strongly to nicotine receptors than nicotine itself and was more toxic to airway cells.
Okay. Is this report, this part, what I call the vapors it's insane. They'll load up the comments like, oh my God, how dare you say that? This saved me from nicotine. It saved my life. And you can give them all the information. You can say, look, it's got this chemical and that'll cause neurological damage. It's got this chemical that will affect your heart and your lungs. It's got this chemical now that we don't even know how bad it is and they're still gonna say.
But, we know it's messing with your heart, your brain, and your lungs.
Right, right.
You kind of need all three of those to really live. But this is so crazy because apparently, Scientific American did a great job on this story and I haven't seen it anywhere else, but they talked about the fact that this actually began, tobacco companies, once they started really being regulated in the nineties, they said, okay, the regulations specifically spell out the chemical formula for nicotine derived from tobacco products. So we got to create a synthetic, then we can escape all the regulatory hurdles because we don't have to get it approved. So they've been working on this for 30 years and they finally got it and they're sticking it in these little things.
Okay. They had, you know, we brought the first tobacco.
Yep.
We initiated the tobacco litigation in this country. People may not know that, but it started with my law firm. And when we saw the documents, this was appearing in the documents back then. They were looking for something to say, the FDA's killing us. The bad press is killing us. Can we come up with something to put in there that we haven't studied? We don't know what it's gonna do. And now they still haven't studied. They still don't. We know what it does to rats. We know what it does to dogs and guinea pigs, but we don't know what it does to humans long range. But we do know it has something to do with neurological, heart, respiratory. We do know that. But people are gonna, people watching this who are vaping are so committed to this. This thing we're talking about will have zero effect on 'em, I mean, literally zero effect because they've got this wall, and the wall is, oh God, this saved my life. I stopped smoking. I'm not putting tobacco in my, you'd probably be better off with tobacco than you would this new chemical.
Well, what's interesting here about the hatred from the vapors is you think the response when we do anti-Trump stories from the MAGA freaks is bad. You think the Democratic.
