Traded the Marlboros for a fruit-flavored USB stick? Congrats! Nicotine sharpens your thinking, but it also changes your thinking. Still addicted, but vaping delivers way more nicotine than smoking ever did. Dan and Dan Jr. dig into everything from its antidepressant effects to the spiritual danger of nicotine’s constant mental stimulation. How different are vapes from cigarettes and pouches? And why physical withdrawal isn’t as bad as people think. Really! China’s key role in the US flavored vape market, toxic metals in Elf Bars lodging into your lungs, and why even NIC-free vapes aren’t safe. Ep. 0033
