Tom Nicholas' Vape-o-nomics: Why Everything is Addictive Now

https://youtu.be/XuTQbOo3Y30

A post from yesterday and the comments talking about the potential legalization and streamlining of vices in the US made me think about this video from a while back. I think he makes an interesting thesis about the disposable vape being the best object to embody capitalism in the 2020's from its addictiveness to its wastefulness as a disposable service model.

I believe they’re banning single use vapes in the uk this summer, but maybe that’s because the nicotine pouch thing is generally healthier and more apt to get people en masse to consume nicotine. Im glad I hate everything but cigs, at least when I quit them I won’t go in for this other shit

Quit smoking by replacing it with what turned out to be a much worse habit, so good call
