Story5 out of 5 stars 247
When two Stanford graduate students set out to create a new kind of cigarette that wouldn’t kill them, they didn’t foresee all the obstacles that lay ahead — or the powerful forces their invention would unleash. Nearly 10 years after the launch of the JUUL, Backfired: The Vaping Wars asks: Could e-cigarettes have been the solution to one of the world’s most pressing public health problems—or was this technology doomed to introduce a whole new generation to nicotine, and end up perpetuating an intractable addiction?

Reviewed: 07-01-24
I wanted to listen to this because I am someone who picked up vaping while being around friends that vaped. I was never a smoker but quickly craved the feeling the vape gave me. I wanted to learn if vaping was bad for my health because I heard it was better than smoking cigarettes but I still felt it had to be bad and that enough research had not been done on it. This original was very educational and taught me so much about the origin and many of the problems surrounding vapes. Ultimately they found vapes are said to be better than smoking cigarettes but no long term studies have been conducted and only time will tell. The scariest part for me is not knowing the quality of the product you are getting as most come from China. So far I have been one week vape free since beginning this. I hope others choose to do the same.

In this book, Riley scrutinizes the perspectives of athletes on the opposing side of this debate, deconstructing their arguments with science, facts, and logic. She also asks what has happened to free speech and dissent in this country, where it now seems nearly impossible to have a well-reasoned debate. And in telling her story, Riley reveals what’s at stake if the truth-seekers remain silent about the injustices women face from radical agendas.

Story5 out of 5 stars 665
A soldier, former member of Congress, and a presidential candidate, Tulsi loves her country: "I answered the call of duty and took an oath, dedicating my life to supporting and defending those freedoms, both in uniform and in public office. I became a Democrat when I ran for office because I saw them as a party that stood up for the little guy and against the interests of big business and warmongers. I remained a Democrat for twenty years, albeit with an independent streak." Today that party is unrecognizable.

But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events.
