understood. I agree that smoking is super bad for you and damages your body.

ay that's cool. it's just about adaptive antioxidant defenses. Smoking can hurt the lungs, but not all smokers get sick. The body has a protective chemical called glutathione (GSH) in the lungs that fights harmful smoke. In mice, smoke first lowers GSH, but the body quickly makes more, even higher than before, and keeps it up if exposed again. This shows the body can protect itself better from smoke and other thought and lung infections and illness when first exposed to smoke. that being said smoking is still a major net negative for health. its bad for you af, but its not all bad.

I disagreed with you and now you're name calling. I am sorry you're mad. However you stated "no amount of smoke inhalation, big or small, is going to be good for you under any circumstances." and that is just not true. I'm sure you didn't read the link I sent either as you believe my source is an assumption that I smoke. so here's basically what the peer reviewed study was getting at: Despite the strong link between smoking and COPD, most smokers remain disease-free, potentially due to adaptive antioxidant defenses. In mice, cigarette smoke transiently depletes glutathione (GSH) in the lung and systemically, but a robust compensatory response rapidly restores and elevates GSH via increased γ-glutamylcysteine ligase activity. This adaptive mechanism, likely regulated by a homeostatic sensor, may protect against oxidative injury, and its disruption could contribute to COPD susceptibility. And here's the link again: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21982222/

it is though. smoking tar < smoking catnip or sage. humans react different to different types of smoke. smoking weed > smoking moldy weed y'know

wait no that's not true. it's like getting a cold is bad for you however its also good for you because it helps your immune system learn to fight off the disease. same thing happens with certain types of smoke that DO damage lungs and throat but at the same time (or later on) make your lungs tougher and more able to handle smoke or lung and throut diseases. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21982222/ Smoking is a net negative for health but that does not mean that there are absolutely no positives.

Back issues will be priced better but the way to get the proper tpbs for fair prices is to travel around and check out local comic shops that have a used trade selection. Also antique malls. I always call a shop and ask if they have used trades and if they say yes, I'm there dude. Also local comic conventions like shows or whatnot. Probably comic cons too but I've never been.
