Huge respect for this lady and the absolute transformation she has helped Paris undergo with respect to bike infrastructure.
It's insane the amount of shit she took because of it..
I have no idea who this woman is, but based on that quote and nothing else, I’m comfortable saying that we’d agree on many political issues.
The more I learn about France, the more I kinda wanna live there.
If they could bring down those smoker numbers I would agree!
I don't get why people still smoke tbh. I understand vaping (though for disclosure, I vape), but I don't understand smoking.
I can understand vaping because you can control your nicotine intake, you can control how it tastes, how much vapor is produced, you can make your own ejuice, there's evidence that it's less harmful than smoking (less harmful, not "harmless" just "less harmful"), it doesn't usually smell like shit, it doesn't color the walls, doesn't coat your lungs with tar, is probably more environmentally friendly if you have a refillable vape instead of one of those shitty disposable ones (at the very least you won't leave butts everywhere)...
There are probably other upsides to vaping over smoking that I'm forgetting, but like, why would you smoke when vaping exists? I can understand an occasional cigar, cigarette, hookah or pipe, but I can't understand doing it regularly. Even if we pretend the health impact is the same, you're still gonna smell like some kind of metallic garbage and ruin your possessions and home.
I'm not saying non-smokers should vape, I just don't understand why smokers refuse it.
LoL I had to make sure it's a real quote, and it's what she said and in English
I'd vote for that every time.
You'll never get anywhere with that attitude
Becomes Mayor of Paris.
Hold on lady I'm married, no need to try to turn me on.
