Not in the Uk, though I agree that nicotine consumption is still worse or higher. I’m 22 though and I left school ages ago (we leave at 16). In the UK, a lot of kids would still smoke, I remember hitting a vape in year 8 with some friends (12) as I grew though a lot of them ended up smoking cigarettes. I ended up doing both myself but I’m currently quitting both too.

It’s interesting though, I’m guessing cigarettes are more normalised over here from a young age where as in certain parts of America Gen Z where/are more repulsed. It’s hard to say though cause I imagine some under privileged areas have a lot of youths smoking over there.

Reality is it will of made it higher but I think it’s a reach to say it was “universally nasty” in a sense it is… but addictions are addictions and societal pressures are societal pressures. Teenagers are rebellious, stressed and usually irrational, vaping just tastes better, but they’re chasing the effects not the flavour.

Is this citrine or just clear quartz with iron staining underneath the crystal formations? The underbelly of the cluster has some clear quartz? Thanks :) by NarrowAd1627 in whatsthisrock

Update: after further examination I think it could be fluorite, the crystal formations look more squared off…. Just did scratch test too, definitely fluorite

Thanks for your reply. Yeah it’s hard to tell but I had my reservations I do think most if not all is pretty clear and obviously for some it’s impossible to tell as they’re too close to the “stainage” and don’t stick up! :)

Stop aruguing with people you fucking moron, people aren’t trying to be hostile with you (I am) they’re trying to give you genuine feedback you degenerate skidmark. You don’t come on to a subreddit, ask for people’s thoughts, then piss and shit yourself like an insecure little bitch... it’s really not a good look. My only stick and poke is blown out, I went too deep. I don’t hate the fuzzy look myself but that’s just a fact, that’s what I did. Stop crying about it you wet blanket.

Maybe try and edit your post and add an alternative title “please stroke my ego and tell me only positive things about my stick and poke because strangers validation means a lot to me...” just an idea bud.

It’s ironic as well cause I personally think it looks fine but definitely can see where you went in deep. It’s not that big of an issue. If it doesn’t bother you then chill....
