Beautiful chilly morning — just perfect for my early morning walk. I love the open plains.

"Additionally, we found no statistically significant differences in prevalence of dependence between non-smoker current vapers and non-vaper current smokers in either fixed or random effect model;".. "indicating that e-cigarettes are as addictive as cigarettes"... Kundu et al., 2025

Highlights

E-cigarette dependence is similar to cigarette dependence.

Never smoker current vapers have lower dependence than dual users.

Dependence increases with nicotine concentration, frequency, and duration of use.

The relationship with different type of product use should be further investigated.

'Bushtower romantic' – a very hot day yesterday, with 45 °C during the day and a night minimum of 29 °C. A beautiful sunrise, though.

Age assurance, it seems that everyone in Australia has to go through this at the moment... or?

I find our Australian BOM (Bureau of Meteorology) app quite useful. It’s free and provides a good degree of detail and forecasts — and it helps with the washing! 😉 www.bom.gov.au/app/

Great and beautiful desk! How old would it be? P.S. I couldn't help but notice the 'fearsome-looking' instrument on the wall. It looks homemade and sturdy—probably very effective for slashing big weeds or sugar cane. Never seen one of those. Any details on it?

Bizarre beauty and hope – a fallen tree reaching out to the sea. After standing guard over this spot for years, it will soon continue its journey down the coast, now as driftwood, free from all ties.

For a protective cover, I opted for something a bit unconventional: a knitted 'phone sock' (thanks to 'H' 😊). It’s proven to be very practical, easy to pull out of a pocket, and surprisingly effective in protecting my phone from several drops—as long as it stays in the sock, of course😉. [4/x]

My Little Phone Hack: When it comes to mobile phones—especially the recent ones I’ve had—I noticed a common problem: protruding cameras on the back. These not only cause the phone to wobble annoyingly on hard surfaces or tables but also risk scratches to the lenses and phone casing. [1/x]
