No, their response did not validate that. In fact, they said the words “it’s not technically illegal”. There is a possibly illegal way to go about it, and a legal way, and no way to prove the difference, but that doesn’t equal technically illegal.

I didn’t feel you deserved the downvotes for your first question, provided it was in good faith. You’re right, like all common misconceptions, it’s best to present clear data wherever we can.

They don’t add nicotine to tobacco, tobacco plants produce nicotine. That’s why people have smoked it for 100s of years.

I do 3D modeling and design and I am a hard #5. Can’t see a thing unless I’m dreaming. But when I think about a part or machine I’m designing I do have an awareness of it in my head, but it’s like it is related to my proprioception (the awareness of where your body parts are) instead my vision. I can imagine the surfaces of what I’m thinking about, and how those surfaces will interact as things move, but can’t see them whatsoever.

I didn’t know real visualization and aphantasia were things until I was well over a decade into this career, haha.

Your conversion took a wrong turn somewhere. BAC is just percentage, promille is parts per thousand. So to convert, multiply by ten. Making it 4,2 promille. Really shitfaced. Very potentially life threatening even if you are not driving.
