[character happily points at a green cube] Green cubes are not dangerous for your health, they're just green cubes
[the character is suddenly drowned under a mass of green cubes falling from above]
[a researcher looks smugly at the previous panel] Seems a million green cubes falling on top of you is not healthy… This we have conclusively proven that green cubes are bad for your health
Everything in excess is bad for your health. Even water.
Even drugs.
Someone told me the story of how she got addicted to drinking water, had 5+ litres a day. She eventually went to the ICU in critical conditions because just about all her electrolytes were completely depleted and her body was starting to shut down because of it.
Well of course too much is bad for you, that's what "too much" means you blithering twat. If you had too much water it would be bad for you, wouldn't it? "Too much" precisely means that quantity which is excessive, that's what it means. Could you ever say "too much water is good for you"? I mean if it's too much it's too much. Too much of anything is too much. Obviously. Jesus.

Woman died of water intoxication in a radio contest.
I get that it's. /s. But it's also real.
Green cubes are indifferent to your suffering.
Hugging a million people is bad for your health. So hugs are bad for your health.
what a perfectly generic object
Idk, man...
The ld50(inhaled) for those cubes is only 1 cube

Am Anfang ein bisschen schwer verständlich aber insgesamt sehr toll!
Ja dieses Lied scheint es nicht als Studioversion zu geben, zumindest nicht auf YT.
This seems to be the gist if every "vapes are bad" study I've ever seen.
The thing with vapes ia that the user of them can't have one vape, by the nature of addiction, they necessarily are consuming ten million of those. Just like one cigarette is not dangerous at all, but smoking 500 of those means you're addicted and will die of lung cancer
Side note, it's near impossible yo find any info whatsoever on what 1-5 cigarettes a week do to your health. I used to casually smoke roughly that amount and wanted to know what the risk was but I genuinely couldn't find even a single study.
You seems to be lucky with addiction, but it's so incredibly rare, research into that might be impossible without killing a bunch of people, making them addicted to nicotine. Anecdotally, all my friends who were casually smoking "only at parties" or no more than a sig a day, either stopped, or started smoking for real.
I have super debilitating ADHD, and my lack of tendency to form addictions is just about the only advantage, but I'll take it gladly.
The point was like, vapes contain only 4 food-safe ingridients, should be obvious that by it's nature it must be at least somewhat safer than burning tobacco which releases over a 100 obviously toxic elements. Nobody was ever claiming that vape is completely safe. But big tobacco doesn't like competition, so they've funded a lot of sham research where scientists would e.g. jam a vape into a smoke analyzer and run it full blast until the cotton catches fire, the coils melt or batteries blow up, disregarding that it's physically impossible to inhale the resulting mess. Then they poisoned people with IQOS-like products and ran advertising campaigns for JUUL(partly owned by PM) explicitly aimed for children. Then paid a bunch of news outlets to run stories about it but shift the blame at vapes. That aside from pretty blatant lobbying as cigarette tax makes a pretty hefty government income in a lot of countries.
