Thank you so much this is so cool and necessary. If you need a visual to pitch it to investors and you haven't seen it there was a great south park episode (looked it up S15E01, the human centipad) mingled with one of the best-est gross out horror-humor movies ever the human centipede.

Even after laughing at that and being raised by a lawyer I still don't read the TOS line by line like i should, again I need this.

Would you tell people that are on SSRI antidepressants that they are addicted to antidepressant medication?

More complex question would be if I vape my dessert flavor with or without nicotine is that better for me than eating said dessert? I have had so many people tell me how they 'cant resist' sweets, and I'd rather vape my cake.

Before I switched from smoking 12-ish years ago my lungs would physically hurt in the morning and I would cough when I woke up. To me, and other people who legitimately view vaping as something that was life-changing in a very positive way that comes off as a very uncaring attitude. Vaping dramatically improved my health.

The only instances I could find of respiratory irritation requiring medical intervention related to fog machine use where involving oil based fog machines, or mixed-use but have so far been unable to find case reports of Glycol or Glycerin based fogs alone.

Not all theatrical fog is the same as vaping as far as I am aware. If you have any articles specifically dealing with the components used for vaping I would be interested to read them. Vaping does not use oil.

100% agree with the VG (Vegetable Glycerin) recommendation, you will have to add a small 20-30% percentage of PG Propylene Glycol to decrease the viscocity (or alternately use pure VG and cut with small amount of normal saline but it won't make as nice a vapor) and then can use it in any actual vape device used for nicotine as these are meant to use water-based not oil-based mixtures.

For marijuana/hemp you can make a water-based tincture using VG as the solvent just using dried plant matter. A magical butter machine can do it, putting it in a bottle and shaking it up every day for a few months, there are likely other methods. It's similar to making a CBD/THC oil but instead using VG as the carrier.

Making your own tincture from decent-quality dried plant matter is the most economical and surefire way to know that it unadulterated and limited in contaminants.

In Ancient Rome, where your namesake hails from, wouldn't a superwealthy individual(corporation) be considered obligated to use that accumulated wealth in part to provide for the public infrastructure?

From the healthcare delivery standpoint there are so many rotten, inefficient and corrupt practices that many days it feels like you are delivering good care despite the system. Certainly not because of it. It's kafa-esque and there is zero incentive for your boss' boss' boss' boss' calling the shots to improve patient care.

Healthcare providers are also just as mystified as to where all the money goes, not the workers doing the direct patient care.
