Pregnant women to be given free vapes from London council to help them stop smoking cigs

BoreDominated · 2022-10-24T22:17:57+00:00

You'd think premature birth, birth defects, lung and brain damage to the baby, stunted growth and an increased risk of SIDS would be enough to deter pregnant women from smoking, but alas...

Or maybe they can take responsibility and not harm their growing child by stopping altogether? Smh not that hard to take good care of a child developing, all you have to do is avoid anything potentially harmful.

Vapes don't help. They worsen depression.

Dated a chick who fucking slept with a vape pen. Literally rolling over in the night to take a hit from it.

Meanwhile homeless men having no money for food are told to fuck off and check their privilege.

Or even someone dying of intestinal problems. (mods deleted the text, this sub is also a lost cause looks like it, ill post text below)

I'm dying of intestinal failure and a feminists admin told me "As a privileged, cis white man, you shouldn't be asking for help." Discrimination First of all, to give a bit of context to my situation, my wife made a little video about it: https://youtu.be/RVAOBTZGOuM and this https://youtu.be/FxiJVnwjmjQ

Years ago I joined a feminist FB group out of curiosity to see what sort of opinions they genuinely have. It was a large FB group, with tends of thousands of women all discussing their points of view about various subjects. I never took part in any of their discussions. Then a few weeks ago, I made my first post ever, discussing my declining health, and how I Was dying.

I got lots of supportive responses, people saying that they wanted to help me some how: https://ibb.co/v4r0WnkMy health situation has since deteriorated, so today, out of desperation, I made my 2nd post ever on that group, only asking for advice on how to get fundraising so that I could pay for my medical bills and stay alive: https://ibb.co/wsddhGX As you can see, the admin took my post down.

She also sent me a direct message stating the reason it was taken down was because I was being disrespectful to women and LGBMT with my post. I enquired how my post was in anyway disrespecting women, and she said it was because, "As a privileged, cis white man, you shouldn't be asking for help."

She went on to say that my post was offensive to others because it showed how people like me just presume they can get help from others, while apparently women and LGBT folks never get help from anybody. So there you have it, my great experience of the day. My health is declining, my wife is desperately trying to get help from others (She was active here a week ago or so), and I'm being told by feminists that I should never ask for the bare minimum of help, just because I am a straight white man. Fuck my life.

Maybe give them nicotine receptor blocker pills instead? If they're safe for pregnant women of course. That way they completely dump the habit. That's how the wife and I kicked it. And it's cheaper than vape pens, even the cheapest ones.

If they want to smoke, they should just get an abortion imo.

Drakethepirate · 2022-10-25T01:02:54+00:00

So irresponsible from them

delocalelectron · 2022-10-25T08:26:19+00:00

There's no need to take responsibility for anything, ladies. Here's some free shit.

And we wonder why they behave like spoiled children.

aigars2 · 2022-10-25T09:37:10+00:00

Give a way out of responsibility as always.

If you actually want to quit smoking vaping is a great tool. I used to smoke cigars a lot but switched to a vape and I weaned myself off the nicotine within a year. I gave it to my mom when I got to zero nic. She didn't wanna quit smoking tho so now she has a vape in one hand and a nasty cigarette in the other alternating. Dafuq?

Anyway quitting smoking cold turkey is very difficult so I can't blame them for offering vapes to pregnant women in an effort to protect the baby. Although I'd prefer them offering patches or gum so they aren't inhaling stuff.

I'd be surprised but in the era of "My Body My Truth My Rights wahh" anything is possible.

weirdornxtlvl · 2022-10-25T14:10:37+00:00

This is so disgusting to me, but again it falls into the abusive, outreaching idea of "my body, my choice". The moment a woman agrees to have a man's semen it is a contract and not "bodily autonomy" with set rules of responsibilities and rights for both parents regarding abortion and child support.

Smoking or drinking during pregnancy should be considered child abuse and a felony. The impact of smoking during pregnancy is lifelong and life changing: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3676311/

Vaping isn't better than smoking, it's just what they're selling right now

I don't see how this is a men's rights issue. Outside of that, that is fucked up. Reads like an onion title.

Drofflies · 2022-10-25T09:52:14+00:00

Maybe better to deter smoking women from getting pregnant.

How did I have the strangest feeling it was going to be THAT city.
