    All forms of inhalation of substances which aren’t air causes damage to the lungs and throat.

      This just reminded me that I saw an advertisement for some kind of “flavored air” device at gas station yesterday, lol.

      The steam from coffee damages your lungs and throat, I never knew that. Are you sure about that?
      What about aroma molecules, like sniffing a flower or perfume?

        So I attempted to look up the effects of smelling flowers on the lungs for science.

        Unfortunately (but not surprisingly) the first few scientific results were about essential oils, the remaining results were just about smell sensitivities.

        The interesting thing though, is that this study nebulized people (very small study) with essential oils and found out that they had better running performance afterward.

        All this to say, you couldn’t pay me enough to do that lol

        Mr. pedantic loves raising pointless nonarguments. Nobody likes mr. pedantic. Don’t be like mr. pedantic, kids.

        Unless you’re functionally illiterate, it should be plentifully obvious that I meant particulate substances not expected to be naturally found in the air.

          Alright, Mr Black-and-white. Ozone is naturally found in air, and is toxic, as is methane and any other number of organic particles that are released by natural processes.

          Apart from your inaccurate user of language, you did also make an unsupported assertion. I don’t believe you’re correct.
