Yeah, I hope so. This infographic used to haunt me a little before I stopped:


Very similar here. Smoking buddy at work was turning 40 and was like “If we don’t quit now, we never will!” so headed to a random vape shop. Bought a vape for lke £50, was on 1.2mg nicotine strength. First day was fine. 2nd day was tough. 3rd was also tough. 4th day I realised “oh shit, never going back to smoking…I feel fine. I can work with this.” So that caused me to panick but then thought ok, bought the same vape as a redundancy (so as to not have to fall back on ciagarettes).

Then, after 6 months switched to 0.6mg nicotine. 6 months after that, 0.3mg. 3 months after that 0.2mg (put my high school chemistry hat on, figured 10ml 0.3mg + 10ml 0.3mg + 10ml 0.0mg mixed up in a 30ml bottle = 0.2mg per 10ml). 1 month after that 0.1mg, 1 month after that 0.0mg - 1 month later, stopped entirely (you genuinely just start forgetting about it, it’s weird).

Went from 30 cigarettes a day to no nicotine and no vape in 18 months.


The wording of the headline, and the people in the photo made me confused.

First: Is this badly worded? Did it mean a mother of twins’ child has just had quadruplets? That’s the mother at the back in the middle, her 2 twin sons beside her in…clinical gowns? No…

Second: The mother had twins, one of them has had quadruplets, it’s him the picture is foc…no, wait - same thing.

Third: The woman at the front has 2 twin daughters (also in the picture), and she’s now had an additional set of quadruplets and the father is staring at the camera because…? There’s no way in hell he didn’t know she was having quadruplets.

Fourth: Why are there 3 people in the back? Like, they’re taking the focus.
