I think I’ll die in decades time still no further forward to understanding vaping, or vaping culture
Given 30% of the population smoked in the early 90s, now we have 14% smoke and 10% vape. It makes sense that some people who would have smoked never did and vaped instead.
Turns out making an addictive and habit forming substance easily available in a stressed society leads to people using it. Shocked.
Who have they studied 🤔 and how did they go Bout finding these ppl.
Wasn’t it originally promoted as a tool to help people quit smoking?
Yes I bought few and tried. I do not do it regularly but sometimes. I do not dislike it like cigarettes.
One day I fell asleep and the cigarette burned spot on the floor. Next time it happened again. I stopped it after that. No mo smoking in bed or ever
My only gripe with vaping is those darn disposable vapes which get littered everywhere and are just a general waste of the worlds resources. A ban on them couldn’t come sooner.
It’s wild how vaping used to be the cringiest thing that anyone could do a few years ago, and now everyone’s vaping
Tbh I find vaping worse than smoking. I switched from rollies to vapes a few years back and found myself puffing on the thing far more than if I’d been smoking. Because if I want a roll up I need to bother to roll it up amd dedicate myself to smoking a whole one. With a vape I cam just take a puff whenever I want, so I did.
Then, like most people, I ended up vaping AND smokingÂ
Vaping is no longer about quitting smoking for a lot of people, especially young people. Nowadays, it is just considered a less harmful version of smoking. That’s a pretty dangerous attitude to take when we do not know how vaping impacts health decades down the line.
When it stopped being promoted as a way to quit smoking, and started being promoted in a way that is massively appealing to young people/kids (bright colours, sweet flavours, stylish, disposable pens), it became endemic.
There needs to be much stricter regulation on these devices, and the disposable ones should be banned completely. They are an absolute travesty on the environment and I can’t believe in today’s climate we are okay with disposable e-cig waste. Not to mention the fact it makes it much easier for a child to use one and dispose of it so they don’t get caught by their parents.
I was a smoker – I smoked for 10 years before I switched to an e-cigarette – It took some time to taper down to 0mg of nicotine on that, and I am now completely smoke free and have been for a few years.
When used the way they should be, as a tool to quit smoking, they are a total game changer, and I would have never quit without one, but ultimately, the way these devices are marketed is poisonous.
70+ years of anti smoking campaigning went out the window when vapes came out as a less bad alternative
I am one of them. My IT nerd, raging ADHD’er brain loves flavoured air.
This makes perfect sense. Instead of smoking people are vaping instead.
Good news if you ask me.
I don’t know if inhaling Polyethyol glycol is good after it condenses in your lungs
I mean idk how this is hard to understand, people start smoking without ever having smoked before. People like substances, they love nicotine caffeine.
All I ever wanted was something that was less expensive and less harmful than smoking.
Saw a teenager smoking vape the other day, fucking mental
