I bought cigarettes in Canada.. wtf?!

I feel like they are trying to tell us something.

Canadian smokes are toxic. Mhm. Stick to Red/black malboro's

Stuff like that makes me think cigarettes are a health supplement...

Hey @grok what receptors does nicotine bind to and are there any diseases that are prevented or hindered from binding to those receptors if they've already binded nicotine

Nicotine primarily binds nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), especially neuronal α4β2 and α7 subtypes. Occupancy can reduce inflammation via the cholinergic pathway and shows preclinical neuroprotection in Parkinson’s models, plus lower epidemiological PD risk and benefits for ulcerative colitis symptoms. Clinical nicotine trials for PD progression failed, and overall smoking harms outweigh any potential gains.

@JohnDParody So nicotine is good for parkinsons but chemical in burned tobacco is bad, got it.

@JohnDParody Nicotine shows lab neuroprotection and is linked to lower Parkinson’s risk (including via snus), but major trials found it does not slow progression once diagnosed. Combustion byproducts drive most smoking harms like cancer and heart disease.

@AngryCitizenxx @JohnDParody @grok Which pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides are used on tobacco and how much. Are the sprays safe to burn and inhale on their own or can they cause cancer?

Tobacco crops commonly use insecticides like acephate, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam; herbicides such as pendimethalin; fungicides including mefenoxam, azoxystrobin and mancozeb; plus maleic hydrazide for sucker control. Residues after curing typically range from under 0.1 ppm to tens of ppm, within CORESTA guidance levels. EPA finds residue transfer to smoke low (often 0-26%) and short-term inhalation risks minimal, not requiring mitigation. Long-term risks are not assessed separately because tobacco combustion harms dominate. Pure sprays burned alone can produce toxic fumes and some are carcinogenic at high doses, but dilute residues add little beyond smoking itself.

It's so there's more filter material for joints. You're welcome

🤣

Have you seen the dying baby ones yet? Lol

O.o

Its a print on the cigarette box

Meanwhile, they'll offer you assisted suicide for a stubbed toe

Yet they will happily euthanize you for having the sads.

Yeah… their cigarette packaging is pure nightmare fuel 😂 I remember about 15 years ago best friend (who is French Canadian) brought back a pack of Canadian ones when she went to visit family — they straight up had aborted/mangled fetuses on/all over the insert. Unsettling, to say the very least! 😩

Should have bought the Indian smokes off buddy Steve. They don’t have all that gay shit and are half the price. Eveyone in Canada knows about the cheap smokes bruh.

First time I ever saw that!😂Pretty sure most buy from Native Smoke shops! 7 times cheaper, no warning words, or pics and easy to open😂

28$ on packaging 😂

They probably slave labour it... everyone knows Canadians work 165 days a year for free to pay their right to live outside of prison. Lol.

That’s how you can tell Tobacco is actually good for you.

Cigarettes in Canada, even though I haven't been up there in decades had scary warnings.

Public health, public funds to heal these patients, so public outcry I guess

PSPSP: when we got " plain packaging " during Covid 2021 ish. Brown boxes. My friend and I raced to get what was left of " normal cigarettes " The new cigarettes are not , the old ones. And I'm also assertive that if you're buying pall mall or Belmont for $15-25 it's the same(:

Brown cuts 🤤

Sorry, but I love it! 🤣🤣 It’s the facts! My Mom died from stage 4 lung cancer from 40 plus years smoking. My sister died from smoking and my other sister still smokes with COPD. I know how very addictive it can be.

Get one of them rich people cigarette cases, load from the CANADA SAYS THESE WILL KILL YOU AND IF THEY DON’T CANADA WILL YOU BETCHA pack and go aboot your day

Canada is weird

Doctors in Canada don’t like the competition for killing people.

This is supposed to deter you from smoking. Supposed to.

Can't wait to see the fentanyl packaging!!

My cigarettes for the past month: immediately. And then all the cigarettes fall everywhere it's super.

That’s actually kind of cool in an odd sort of way.

@milton_theresa Thank goodness the french insert used the picture as well.

You missed out on the colon one. I love me a butt hole on my smokes

I remember when I visited, their mountain dews tasted different because they did not allow (I think it was caffeine) a specific ingredient in it. Tasted so weird.

Damn Canada.

I know 🤦‍♂️

How much were they? I’m curious.

22.86....

No, American dollars per pack

Please tell me you’re not paying $23 for one pack

Until I leave Canada 🤷‍♂️

I’m aghast.. enjoy your day. Have a wonderful vacation go to sleep.

@AngryCitizenxx If you go to a convenience store it’s $16-$22 CAD a pack , if you shop on the reserves it’s $4-8 a pack

@AngryCitizenxx When I started smoking, I was paying $1 / pack.

Yeah there's this MASSIVE inner flap the height of the pack just to fuck with you opening the thing. They don't give junkies the Rube Goldberg treatment when they need their fix.

If you cut a hole in his mouth and spit into it...kinda looks like hes still drooling..fuckin wild anyone is still dumb enough to still buy taxed to death taylor made...find a rez and get a carton for 15 bucks

I don’t know why kids don’t collect the packs for the graphic warning design.

they should have these for the jabs they mandated and the aftermath

Where do you normally get them?

7/11?!

The face you make when the head is good 😂:

Mean while the Canadian government will help unalive you if you get a little sad. Also no capital punishment. Also free hard drugs. Also electing a prime minister with 12% of the vote.
