I bought an "unscented" candle at a new witchy store in town. Started burning it today and it turns out it's actually subtly scented with stale cigarette smoke 🤢

#the salesperson was telling me how this brand is made in europe #where supposedly the safety standards are better #but also where more people still smoke cigarettes 🤢 #anyway there is now secondhand (thirdhand?) smoke in my house #i want to support the new store #but i won't be buying this brand again

[well-i-need-to-study]

I read a post on here that we are not meant to know every issue in the world, because we cannot fix every issue in the world. It's better to pour your heart in fixing one issue, than to try to split yourself to split them all. You can't.

My issue is indoor air quality. It started because indoor air quality in my student dorm was poor. It became because it bothers me that people of low socioeconomic class are considered extra susceptible to certain air pollutants. It bothers me that there is no winning from exposure to cigarette smoke: you can do everything perfect to avoid secondhand smoke exposure, because you will likely still get thirdhand smoke exposure. And it will still affect you.

So I focus on working out my idea, in the hope that it can increase the indoor air quality. And I use my free time to do research, to learn. To learn all these things that bother me, that my idea can't fix, that I cannot find a realistic idea for to fix. To pick the articles that I know contain issues I can't fix, and to read them. Again, and again, and again.

Because there is nothing else I can do. Because the only way I can ever hope to make a difference is to keep going, to keep doing what I do, and to become good at it. One day, I hope to bring my idea to the market. And if that means that I improve the quality of life of one person, of someone I read about in these articles, it will all have been worth it.

It is actually quite concerning that many youngsters consider smoking to be cool when it is so dangerous not just to your lungs but also to others. And I'm not addiction-shaming here, I just think we should discourage people from starting to smoke and offer resources to those who are already addicted.

Because new research has found that not only second-hand smoking but also third-hand smoking to have negative health consequences.

"A new study reveals that the residue of nicotine that lingers on surfaces can react with another chemical in the air to form potent carcinogens — chemicals linked to various cancers. While first-hand smoke is that inhaled directly by the smoker and second-hand is the smoke exhaled (and inhaled by others), third-hand smoke is the residue from second-hand smoke."

"The burning of tobacco releases nicotine in the form of a vapor that adsorbs strongly onto indoor surfaces, such as walls, floors, carpeting, drapes and furniture. Nicotine can persist on those materials for days, weeks and even months"

"Smoking outdoors is not much of an improvement. "Smoking outside is better than smoking indoors but nicotine residues will stick to a smoker's skin and clothing""

This even impacts newborns in the NICU!!

"Researchers interviewed parents and family members of hospitalized infants to determine household nicotine use, including conventional cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, and smokeless tobacco. They also collected samples to measure nicotine on visitor’s fingers, on NICU furniture, and in infant’s urine."

Had a dog-ass day so I self-indulged and started on a passion project I wasn’t planning to yet, just to cheer myself up. Simon Riley x F!Ranger OC, feat. more 21 year old Simon.

2003, May .

There’s little romance to bleeding out in Baghdad, but Lance Corporal Simon Riley, twenty-one, is poor-mouthed for it.

He knows it because he can feel it; the warm, living heart is screaming like a dying, thrashing animal in his chest. Pinned down in a mountain of rubble, snipers dancing around blast-barren windows of what used to be apartment buildings, and Simon was the dumbest son of a bitch on the ground, taking a round in the fleshy part of thigh.

Might not’ve ever made it to uni, but he’s not fucking ignorant, this flesh wound tis absolutely not a scratch.

Back slumping down the concrete barricade he’d been propped against, four hours out of water, down a good liter-and-a-quarter of blood, he figures he’s done-in. He’d started out shooting over the barricade, but his gun and all his extra clips ran dry. Wasn’t a shit shot either, even bleeding out.

Starts refusing water when the Welsh comms boy offers it, starts shoving the medic’s pack away from him when he tries to go for fresh bandages, and starts staring at Chris Merryweather’s body cooking on the tarmac fifteen meters out.

It’s weird. It’s bloody fucking weird. Merryweather was making shit jokes about fucking Simon’s mum this morning. Simon was ready to cave his head in with a trench shovel. Now he’s dead. Simon wants to go home.

Figures. He’d only signed up to get out, scrape something together for her and Tommy without the old man’s fucking stain on it. Now he wants terribly to be back in the water-damaged council house with mold inside the cabinet doors, where mum somehow managed to buy a thirdhand NES and Duck Hunt for him and Tommy one Christmas, when dad was in jail.

So fuckin’ stupid, they all three sat around and ate popcorn and soup noodles for dinner on the living room floor, and it was perfect.

That’s about when the sharp pops of sniper fire are blasted out of existence by the deep-throated scream of two diesel engines hitting turbo drive to shriek an ear-splitting whistle. The two tan beasts roar into sight, lumbering much more slowly than Simon had imagined, with crushingly heavy determination over debris to close in. Hell-bent monsters dragging themselves into the fray, black smoke thick as paint pouring over their hindquarters from the exhaust stacks.

There are Punisher skulls spray-painted on the doors, dripped while wet. Makes him think about a book he lost years ago—was about the ossuaries in Portugal. Makes him think about Tommy, too, in that goddamned mask, waking Simon in the middle of the night only to loom and breathe over him.

#preview #simon ghost riley #Not screwing with other fandom tags I’m too tired #oc is Stallard and she will show up after this section in like 6 seconds #sry for janky formatting I’m on mobile anyway baby Simon is a big bully boy full of rage and sarcasm he just gets traumatized so there’s #trauma and sorrow added in

Admittedly, I'm slightly sympathetic to the knee jerk "aaah this is policing!" reaction some dumbasses get, because of how easily reactionaries can rip a horrid mile out of a reasonable inch. I recall a post on IG detailing yet another racist landlord who banned spices and literally had the audacity to fucking inspect their pantry on visits and some demons in the comments defended this by comparing it to smoke damage from cigarettes, as if thirdhand smoke (a real thing with documented negative health effects) is comparable to fuckin cumin.

i feel the exact same way with smokers. i cant imagine kissing one either, because they smell AWFUL. BEYOND AWFUL ACTUALLY...its so gross. and the audacity most of them have, they dont even care about other people around them that dont smoke.

that shit killed me grandpa too. i just think its disgusting and bizzare seeing me mum and dad smoking when we're visiting his grave to put new candle/flowers whichever it may be. like bruh wtf??

ugh yes :( like im not going to judge ppl for their life choices poison yourself whatever theyre your lungs but its wild to just not even acknowledge how dangerous it is or have the decency to not smoke around nonsmokers.

and i say it killed my grandparents - my grandfather was the only smoker. but the decades of second and thirdhand smoke in their house gave my grandma cancer too. thats the biggest issue i have with it, is youre not just affecting yourself smoking, youre hurting those around you too.

I have been accused of putting "a damper on things" by my mum for not wanting to be around when my brother is vaping in a room and holding my breath or wearing a mask when I enter.

My mum, brother and I are asthmatic. I've never smoked or vaped. What can I do? Leaving the room isn't always an option, especially if he vapes during family meals or gatherings. He won't vape outside because he says it's cold.

I'm trying to protect my health. I don't see why I have to suffer through secondhand or thirdhand vape smoke just to "be social" when he vapes during stuff we're doing in a room as a family. Everyone in the family but me has chosen this.

Beyond holding my breath, wearing a mask or sitting near an open window (which usually draws complaints and people then close it), I'm at a loss at how to protect my health from the vape chemicals I inhale.

My brother is trying to quit smoking and now uses e-cigarettes, vaping regularly. It's great he's trying to quit and isn't smoking tobacco but e-cigarettes don't give him a free pass to vape around people who don't want him to.

Carpets Retain a Stubborn Grip on Pollutants from Tobacco Smoke

Credit: Bryngelzon/iStock « Carpets Retain a Stubborn Grip on Pollutants from Tobacco Smoke Newswise — In rooms where smoking has taken place regularly, tobacco’s imprint lingers on indoor surfaces, even long after regular smoking has stopped. The leftover residues, known as thirdhand smoke, can be a long-term source of indoor pollutants. New research from a team led by the Department of…

when you decide to ruin your life over a traffic stop

If you were to Google the following exact string of words, you'd end up where I did a few days ago. They are: "Waterloo arrest audi no plates".

Let's go back and ask why I searched this term. My roommate and coworker Rob came home one day, came downstairs, sat in my desk chair and asked if I'd seen Damien (changed name), another of our roommates, in the past few days.

Actually no. "Hmm. A guy at the bar [we work at] heard on the radio about a 22yo male pulled over nearby for no plates."

No way, I say, being wrong.

This guy has been riding in a blue Audi with a horseshoe up his ass for a month before finally being pulled over for it. But spoiling that isn't even the tip of the iceberg, so let's jump back to me being told this thirdhand gossip and Googling around.

Finally I land on Waterloo Police's website. 7am, when he'd be getting on the highway for work, he was pulled over on the highway toward work. Blue Audi. No plates. Gotta be him.

Then I gasp and can't speak as I keep reading. Rob grabs the computer to see it: the list of all 10 charges he's been arrested on, and the 2 outstanding warrants he was wanted on.

We knew he'd get caught, it was just a matter of time. We figured he'd come back - straight to me, the person who spent 6 months as a court reporter in criminal court - with a court date. Nope, straight to jail for, clears throat:

Assault on, Obstruction of, Resistance to, and Escape from a Peace Officer. Driving with a suspension, no plates, no license and no insurance. Those are 8 separate charges, then, "Flight from Arrest in a Motor Vehicle" with one more "Being At Large" for good measure. He tried to flee. Then, at least spit on and at worst hit a cop. I really hope the bodycam footage hits the news, it sounds like a wild series of events.

At the bottom of this article was a number. I knew what to do with that. I say hold on a sec and bring up the government site for our local courthouse. Search the docket by that number and sure enough, I found his name in courtroom 103 at 10am for a first appearance. Then, today, bail.

Since he didn't come home (and assaulted a cop) I assume he did not get bail. Add on 2 wanted charged for those warrants and I'd be very surprised if he got out within the next year. That's before even thinking about his potential sentence.

When I explained the difference between getting 2y less a day vs. 2+ years (spent in jail vs. prison) Rob agreed - he's going to prison. That many charges... I doubt I'll see him ever again.

Maybe it's because I've never seen anyone go from a decent living to hard time so fast, maybe it's knowing the guy sleeping a room away from me for 4 months is capable of making chase and then assaulting cops. Maybe it's knowing he's a trained boxer that could absolutely clean my clock if I'd crossed him. I'm equal parts horrified and interested.

But one thing none of us can get over is that he's the most chill, laid-back guy I've ever met. And he doesn't even smoke. Just very monotone, keeps to himself.

But once he started driving that car without plates for several weeks... we knew one day we'd either get a call or he'd come home with paperwork. Never expected a "straight to jail, do not pass Go and collect $200".

Maybe I'll go to court one day. See what he's really like, since apparently I knew nothing of him at all.

Stay Greater, Flamingos. And get yer damn plates.
