poll fail Are people who vape too stupid to know first of all they are not smoking and second and most importantly that they are too stupid to know that they look stupid with a piece of plastic with a light on the end stuck in their face ETA: and they stink just as bad or worse than the real stuff As a former smoker, I say bullshit. Some of the cheapo ecigs really do smell terrible. Like the ones they sell at most gas stations. Worse than a cigarette? I don't think so, personally. But they definitely don't smell "good", like good liquid does. |

If I'm not mistaken, "vape" still contains high levels of nicotine (the reason people actually "vape". The free mist (stuff not inhaled by the user) is inhaled by those around the user.

First off, I don't smoke OR vape. And I hate cigarette smoke. That being said, my girlfriend has tried to quit smoking by vaping. First off, pomegranate flavor smells AWESOME. Second, it's entertaining to hear the smokers who don't want to quit smoking all of a sudden be SO concerned with "health issues" of vaping. It's food grade glycerine and flavoring. Just like the fog machines used in nightclubs, as said above. The stuff is completely harmless. Are you "inconvenienced" by smelling an air freshener, or walking by a bakery? Suck it up, buttercup. You sound weak. There is pushback on vaping by the government and the tobacco companies because the more people that vape, the less tobacco is smoked. They don't get tax money for that. The tobacco companies are losing sales. So, they want to force vapers out into smoking areas, restrict the sale of vaping juice, etc to discourage people from taking up this harmless activity that replaces smoking tobacco. It's about the money. Of course it's best to not smoke OR vape. But vaping is a much, much better option to someone who is addicted to nicotine and must do one or the other, at least until they're weaned from the habit. I really dont give a fuck how harmless it is. I dont want something that smells like a rotten asshole blown into my face.

I love cigarettes, both electronic and non, because they give me all of the information that I need to know regarding a persons character, their ability to make sound decisions, and their levels of self control. Kind of like big nasty tattoos, flat brimmed hats, liberal bumper stickers, and other "this person is not worth your time" indicators.
It's funny that you people even entertain these types of discussions. "Heh heh what do you think they prefer, the vape smell or the smoke smell? Heh" Maybe I'm the only one, but beyond chuckling to myself at the neediness and overall lack-of-control (and tact) of vapers sucking on their stupid lightsaber contraption, I doesn't really net a second thought. |

I'm gonna say no.
While I understand that vaping generally produces no carcinogenic smoke and can be set up to produce no visible smoke or detectable smell, many papers make their own liquid. There's no way to tell what someone has in their vaporizer in public - so it seems entirely reasonable to ask someone not to vape near you. |

The "secondhand smoke" thing was mostly bullshit and handwringing. Extending that out to e-cig vapor leaves the vague scientific underpinning completely and just zooms out through interstellar space, arriving quickly at the Tard Nebula.

Poll fail!
Poll should read Who is more stupid? 1. Someone who starts smoking knowing it's bad for you. 2. Someone who doesn't start smoking knowing it's bad for you. I could give a shit if you smoke or vape. If your going to do it follow the same rules smokers have to follow. I always love watching the smokers freezing their asses off on those cold frigid days to get their fix and us non smokers are too stupid to live? |

It's the nasty smell, not the vapor that bugs most folks. Take that shit outside. View Quote What bugs most folks is that it "looks" like smoking. The "juice" does not need to contain glycerin in order to be an effective drug delivery system. It contains glycerin so that the 'vapor' is translucent. The whole POINT is that it "looks" like you're smoking. If the exhaled product were completely translucent, it wouldn't have nearly the appeal that it does. And part of that appeal is that it gets the pansies all twisted up about it. "Oh, you can't smoke inside! Oh, secondhand smoke! My health! Your rights end where my nose begins! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!" Anyone who can't be around a cigarette is a pussy. Period. I don't give a shit what you're going to try to argue. Oh, but I have asthma! Shut the fuck up. You're a fucking weepy little pussy, and you cried long enough with a bunch of other weepy little pussies to get the government to bully the cool kids for you. Aren't you a fucking hero, huh? Secondhand smoke is not dangerous. The dosage level is so low, that even continuous lifelong exposure, for an otherwise healthy person, it's all but meaningless. You're going to sit there and bitch about what other people do, and then pull your fat ass through the drive-through for a Big Mac and a large Coke, right? Shut the fuck up, you know you do. Because you're a weepy little pussy. You can't be bothered to do anything for yourself, so you want the government to regulate other people's behavior. And some of you pussies dare to post on here about how you support freedom. Bullshit. No, you don't. You just want the freedoms you want, and fuck everyone else. And you're somehow surprised that all the shit you want to do is micro-regulated for no good reason? Buy a ticket for the fucking clue train, Sherlock. Your pussy behavior is exactly why we're all in this fucking regulatory hell in the first place. "Yeah, but I just don't like smoking." Alright, twinkletoes, congratufuckinglations. Shut the fuck up and go text your therapist But vapers aren't working on the solution. Vaping is the Sig Brace of the smoking world. Sure, it's only 'not smoking' because of a technicality. You SHOULD be able to light up a fucking cigarette anywhere you damn well please. But just like open carry activism doesn't win any converts, vaping exists just to piss off the weepy pussies out there. Which is fine and all, fuck 'em, but it's not going to be a solution. I hate to say it, but smokers are going to need numbers if they're going to win their rights back. The small minority of people like me who don't smoke, but who can recognize and appreciate freedom for the sake of freedom aren't going to be enough to do anything. Maybe the marijuana thing will work out in your favor, I don't know. But y'all need to get about twice the numbers you have to start winning any of your rights back. Sorry, that's just a simple fact about living in this country. Your rights are always on auction to the majority vote because most people are pussies and idiots. |

This is almost as good as an airplane/treadmill thread.
In this tard universe, we mix propylene glycol, nicotine, and an artificial flavor - which contains things like isobutyl anthranilate. Then we heat it with a red hot nickel / chrome / aluminum / iron wire to produce a vapor. The vape heads seem to believe there is a magic filter in their lung tissue. All of the nicotine, toxic flavor chemicals etc. are completely removed from the vapor, and only water vapor exits their lungs. Is it a health problem from 4 feet away? probably not. But it sure as hell is not "water vapor" they are exhaling. . Bunch of pussies anyway. If you want to get a buzz from your battery powered pacifier go ahead - but ditch the silly nicotine & fill that thing up with toluene. |

The vaping craze is picking up speed. If it helps people quit smoking then thats all well and good, but has that stuff been tested for carcinogens and stuff? Whos to say that in 20 years all of the people who were big in to vaping are all ate up with the cancer and other various sickness.
