    Alternatively, maybe pick up vaping if you live in a “red state.”

        Step 2: Be shocked at how much better life is in general and come to the realization that maybe you should have left red state ten years ago.

          It is hard and expensive. It is also worth every red cent, every drop of sweat. It is the best thing I ever did.

          Don’t be afraid. Have a plan, take the plunge, and improve your life.

        If only it were so easy for most of them. Moving is hard and expensive. You can do it without it being too crazy expensive, but it’s still very hard.

        Just don’t spawn in a red state easy.

      Do we really need to politicize this? It was a scientific study performed in the UK.

        I agree, people shouldn’t politicize women’s medical choices so it should be left between a woman and her doctor.

    Why can’t this be “Vapes and tobacco lower women’s fertility rates?”

    Sure everyone should not smoke. But why is this worded as the responsibility of the woman?

    What if a couple smokes and the woman is willing to stop, but the man doesn’t want to because this only says that women should stop?

    Why is this not, at least partially, the responsibility of the companies marketing a highly addictive product with no health benefits?

      That’s the test group used in the study. Not everything is sexist by default…

      Nearly a quarter of those trying to conceive said they regularly or occasionally vaped, according to the report by the women’s health firm Hertility based on data from 325,000 women, mostly in their 20s and 30s. The study was conducted in the UK and was based on analysis of anonymised data.

        If one person of a couple is trying to quit, but the other person of a couple won’t quit, it makes it hard for the person trying to quit.

        Not everything is sexist.

        Are we back to the time of not knowing second hand smoke introduces a lot of the same health risks as first hand smoke? Anyone would be able to infer that women that want to get pregnant shouldn’t smoke from the proposed headline, but they might think a bit more about their own contributions to the health of others.

      Because its the responsibility of adults to make healthy choices for themselves? Vape companies aren’t going to peoples houses and pumping vapor into peoples houses while they sleep.

        I did say the blame can be shared.

        People aren’t going around growing their own tobacco plants bland turning that into vape juice.

        What healthy use does nicotine have to continue to be sold?

    Everyone all knew vaping was detrimental to their health but they could justify smoking by saying there isn’t any research because it’s new, it’s no longer new, here’s the research

      This study says for vaping and tobacco users and most vapers are recently ex cigarette smokers. All this study did was test a bunch of smokers and ex smokers and found out that yes smoking tobacco is bad for you.

      Nothing in there is specific to vaping, nicotine is bad for you but getting nicotine from tobacco is waaaaay worse than getting it from vaping.
