To be fair, we gotta really, really give it up for Shog and Tim. Their patience after all this (I can be sure of the two of them to read most posts) is unfathomably insurmountable.
Forgot to say, hacktoberfest started 2 days ago and if you know someone who's interested in coding and wanted to start contributing to open source projects, this is a great opportunity for them to start their contributions to OS projects
@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog This is not really worth a comment, but you live up to the name. That was a fast edit you just applied, and while it was just a simple letter transposition, you noticed quickly. Happened in under a minute! Anyway, thanks. XP
I know a medic who tells me alcohol is bound to have a tobacco like catharsis where at last society universally agrees that there's no benefit in alcohol
tells me "there are some people for which alcohol damages would be negligible, because of their personal characteristics and the special way they drink alcohol, but there are some other people for which no quantity of alcohol would cause negligible damage"
in summary "no damage no benefit for some people with some habits, no benefit for some other people and/or some habits"
tobacco and alcohol plays a significant role in protecting earth from over population
In India, there're rules that cigarette and tobacco manufacturers should print Tobacco/ alcohol causes cancer. Smoking/drinking is injurious to health in the bottle/packets.
along with photographs of some diseases(like throat cancer or tumour)
@AndrasDeak and sometimes, the court is high. They made another order that when a Movie shows a smoking or drinking scene, a warning message should be given in the screen
My point is that tobacco and alcohol have very different socioeconomic effect. Governments probably won't ban tobacco, merely because people would rebel. They definitely won't ban alcohol, because people would rebel and alcohol helps drown people's problems, making them easier to keep down. (And the US even tried banning it and didn't go very well.)
All cigarettes ruin your lungs and that of those around you. Some e-cigs are harmful because the contents are not regulated enough, and a lot of people abuse e-cigs and vape various oils which I think is never the intended use. And this can be harmful. But just like snuffing glue, you should perhaps use your head before you do something with your body.
@john oh, yes
Being an alcoholic is probably much more deadly on average than being a chain smoker. Although there's no second-hand drinking.
similarly to how when we're assessing the harmful effects of smoking we don't include the increased rate of traffic accidents from when someone dropped their cigarette in their lap
@john use of mobile phones/ alcohol are already counted.

My cat was attacked by another male cat today and he can't open right eye. I always warn him not to go out. But he never listens and always getting attacked by other male cats.
@AndrasDeak well it's not the case. afaik, male cats will attack other mail cats. one of the cat here, gave birth to 2 (1 male and 1 female) and my cat killed the male (< 1 month old) ;-(
> Do cats need to be vaccinated? When to give vaccines. Kittens should start getting vaccinations when they are 6 to 8 weeks old until they are about 16 weeks old
