    Just suck a cock.

    Guaranteed productivity boost, and company loyalty would skyrocket.

      For those that might not know: Pacifiers were/are used by people that are rolling/ high on mdma/ecstacy. The drug and/or whatever other drugs the pulls are cut with can cause jaw clenching and teeth grinding.

    Eh, I honestly wouldnt care if I saw this in public. As long as something someone does isn’t a pain to others, non of my business.

    Cigarette companies losing profits?

    Let people have a relatively less problematic stress relief than cancer risk increasing smoke, right?
    Tho, not sure about micro plastic content n all.

        oral fixation. it’s a substitute for all the genitalia we’d like to be sucking on instead but can’t, paradoxically because we are sucking on pacifiers to ease that pain.

            There’s a tiny chance you may be one of those people that can stay productive on heroin and create great art while on it, so everyone should try it at least once. /S

        To add to this, if you are not carful around people who smoke both, you can get a big hit of nicotine

          To add more to this: Retail and food service both heavily encourage people to start smoking. Managers give extra breaks to smokers, because the managers all take extra breaks to smoke and “it’s only fair, right?” So the employees start smoking to get the extra breaks. Because nobody wants to be the only server on the floor during the peak Sunday post-church lunch rush, getting screamed at by geriatric cunts about their food taking too long, when every single one of your coworkers is outside the back door showing each other memes while puffing on Marlboro reds.

          And so those employees start smoking to get the extra breaks. And then those employees become the managers a year or two later, and continue to only give extra breaks to smokers. Because “well I had to start smoking to get the extra breaks, so they can start smoking if they want the extra breaks too.” And the cycle repeats ad infinitum.

          And a lot of people work retail and food service when they’re in their late teens/early 20’s. Which means a lot of them start smoking early, and then struggle to quit as adults because they’ve smoked for basically their entire adult life.

      Different receptors. Also, cigarettes are way more addictive.

      Edit: Did I get pushback for stating that cigarettes are highly addictive?

        cigarettes are horrible though, have you tried that hot new trend of using pacifiers?

          Can’t say I agree. I haven’t smoked regularly now for almost a year, but occasionally just buy a single if I’ve had a beer and have a craving. That’s the nice thing about Latin America, you can buy single cigarettes. I smoke one, feel guilty, and then don’t think about them for a month or so.

      I’m getting really tired of this kind of doomerism. Look, just because a tariff-loving, bigoted republican president is inflating securities markets wildly beyond their historical maximum book values by orders of magnitude in the context of sharply rising unemployment and homelessness, doesn’t mean we’re revisiting 1930s economic conditions. So I don’t want to hear anymore about removed-environmental-protections this, and exponentially-increasing-environmental-disasters that. Just nut up, ignore the once-in-a generation, escalating geopolitical tensions, and go persecute some minorities just like Jesus Washington said to do in the Bible Constitution.
