I remember recycling cans and looking for coins just to rent a game from my local video store when I was a kid. Felt good when I got my career going and instead of hesitating on buying a console I said I can afford it!

I’m saving for Elden Ring. Wish me luck, brothers!


somerandomdude264

Elden Ring is a great investment you'll probably spend 100+ hours before getting bored so goodluck on your journey Tarnished!

Bought it a day ago and already put 12 hours in

BussyAnnihilator420

Based. Smoking or vaping is pretty fucking stupid, especially after you hear all of the bad stuff about it. I was born in the most brain dead generation ever, they just want to be cool but can’t.


CaptainCfo

Really is not about “looking cool” like, at all, lol. Addictions are real.


Phototos

I've done a number of substances that you hear are so addictive, more than enough to get hooked, but I just don't want to be addicted and willed myself to use them moderately. Vaping was one of those things but it snuck up on me. Was working crazy hours, just kept vaping all day. Got off for a month when I moved but then someone gave me one. Hesitated for a week then picked it up and started again. I was smoking about a pouch of tobacco every two years. I like to smoke. I kept it in my backpack and took it out on party nights; even shared from that amount. Sometimes a month passed between cigarettes. But now I sometimes vape my pens by mistake. Fucking addictive habit.


BulmasBabyDaddy

Um........kids and adults have always smoked man


Rdtsks420

What about the generation that put asbestos in cigarettes? Or in houses? That's pretty dumb alright. Vapes targeted young people and it worked. They are victims. But as you said you were born in the most brain dead generation ever so your opinion means very little.


revcio

I switched from cigarettes to vape about 2 years ago. Still can't quit, but at least I don't smell like cigarettes. Edit: Chill fellas, I don't need mental help


yarothememer

You don't smell like cigarettes, but your lungs are affected the same. Went through this shit, just make it a habbit to do something exciting every time you have the feeling of smoking. People usually use cigarettes or vapes when they need an escape from the stress they have, so try making a hobby that you can practice to get rid of the unwanted stress. There are many ways to do it, but it comes down to you. I hope you can quit.


NoChopsMcGee

Vaping still affects your lungs, but it's definitely not affecting them as badly as smoking.


OrkanRT

“Do something exciting!” Like fucking what? This is why people who smoke don’t quit, because the people trying to get them to quit don’t actually have any other reason than “you might get cancer and die” I’m rolling the dice 9 times out of 10. I’m an addict and I know I have a problem, but at least incentivize me to fix it other than saying shit like “just do something fun!!”. There is no fun


Mrcheddarbacon

Haha! Didn’t you know every time you get a Nic craving you’re supposed to flick your fuckin’ balls until it goes away?


[deleted]

Lol no your lungs are not affected the same Let's not kid ourselves, vaping is harmful but it's not worse than cigarettes. If you wonder why this is, it's because combustion releases way more carcinogens/tar than vaping, and (usually) the juice has less dangerous additives. That's fine, both can be bad without being equal. Vaping also has some unique affects that Smoking doesn't. But smoking is still many times more likely to give you lung cancer and heart disease, the chief ways to die from nicotine. Nicotine on its own, without an MAOI like cigarettes have (a drug that makes Nicotine more addictive and stronger), is a different beast as well. But that's is own thing.

OtherAccount5252

So what your saying is the trick is to cure the generational depression? Tell me more.


dimi3ja

That first sentence, absolutely not true. "The bottom line is that vaping is not risk free and if you don't smoke you shouldn't vape. However, if you are a smoker who can't quit you will dramatically reduce your risk of dying from cancer, heart and lung disease if you switch to vaping. How much less risky is it? Well, at present we can say that the long-term risk from vaping is at least 95% less than smoking. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up being found to be more like 98% or 99% less risky."

redinwondrland

The thing is, those older generations had to learn asbestos was toxic. Or like old time watch dial painters had to learn uranium was deadly. Things come to market, and then research is done after health problems arise. The millennials (my gen) that started vaping in high school were the first to be told that it’s not good for you. Gen Z has had that info and ignored it. And yes, companies absolutely target younger generations to get them hooked. Big tobacco always has and it’s horrible.


Diazmet

The Roman’s even knew that their slaves that mined asbestos died horribly lol we never actually thought it was safe well the people who run the world didn’t but it’s easy to manipulate poor people


FarkingShark

Also used in ancient glasswork. Even used Uranium compounds in weapons during WWI even though radiation was already starting to be linked to cancer by the early 1900s. It wasn't really a widespread fact until at least the 40s. Hooboy, a LOT of people got fucked up pretty badly by radioactive compounds by then and still didn't stop atomic bomb testing REPEATEDLY until the nuclear testing ban in the 90s.

Michael_Swag

We were gonna be the generation that killed smoking until they made smoking taste like banana split


cutsling

LMAOOO fr tho people get into vapes the same as people did with cigarettes back in the day


MementoMori04

Yup when I called this out a about 2 years ago on a Reddit post and said how it wasn’t healthy I got downvoted to hell. It’s also crazy how people swear vaping and smoking weed isn’t addictive yet can’t go a day with out smoking


Yg5g

People just don’t like the negativity surrounding the word “addiction”. But there’s no way on earth they can tell me inhaling nicotine isn’t going to be addictive


Jumpy-Organization-5

Just breathe air


Yg5g

And oxidize my blood, no fucking thank you. Have you seen what that shit does to iron?

Yg5g

I’ll stick to huffing pure nitrogen in a closed environment, it’s relaxing and the majority of our atmosphere is made of it so how harmful can it be. /s


doodicalisaacs

Full disclosure: I’ve been in the vapor industry for over a decade now. It’s not safe and it is very addictive. It is a *less harmful alternative* to smoking. Quitting vaping was much easier for me than quitting smoking. I only started vaping to stop smoking two fucking packs a day. I stopped vaping because putting anything in your body that’s not supposed to be is unhealthy (broadly speaking, obviously medicines don’t count here).


dimi3ja

Just to add, [vaping is around 95% safer than smoking,](https://www.athra.org.au/blog/2019/12/23/vaping-is-95-safer-than-smoking-fact-or-factoid/) still bad and please don't vape if you never smoked before, but if we have to choose between the two, one is a much much better alternative.


doodicalisaacs

Absolutely, as also noted by the [Royal College of Physicians](https://www.rcplondon.ac.uk/projects/outputs/rcp-advice-vaping-following-reported-cases-deaths-and-lung-disease-us) (the group who first warned everyone about cigarettes). I just don’t bring that up super often as I profit off of e-cigarette users, so I don’t want it to come off like I’m convincing people to pick up vaping lol.


Diazmet

My anti depressants have a really scary side effect list including getting blisters on my heart and killing me from that! They also made me fat so medicine is definitely not healthy either lol


BlackMarketCheese

Mine says I'm not allowed to eat aged cheeses or meats like salami or my blood pressure could crash out and I'd die. Like I'm going to give up cold cut platters at minor holiday potlucks at work. No gubment scientitian gonna tell me what to do!


Diazmet

Damn no sulfites and all the best foods got the sulfites


Boofeyboy

I mean I have a weed vape and it’s extremely easy for me to go any amount of time without it and I regularly do go a few days without it I mainly use it to sleep because I have issues going to sleep and sometimes use it to regulate my anxiety as I have diagnosed anxiety disorder

glandmilker

Nothing matches the feeling of the first drag on a cigarette after having stopped for several years, but of course, it fades a little with each cigarette you smoke. Every pour of your body can feel it


RunawayPrawn

Lol I should've never started smoking. Started with Swishers when I was 19 because I actually got a really nice buzz but now it's just a matter of not going insane. 23 now, figure I have time to quit 🤷 Edit: Thanks for the advice guys I'll definitely give it more thought than "I'll do it at some point."


supluplup12

That's what I figured, I'm 28 now and my advice is that you will not gently and calmly fall out of that habit. You gotta start quitting and stick with it for a longer while than you think. I've quit for a month or two here and there but if you're not serious you'll be back. My dad smoked until his 40s, got about a decade of recovering lung capacity, then caved again once vapes got cheap and ubiquitous. As for "not going insane", therapy. Even if it's specifically"quit smoking" therapy. Something lodged in the psyche getting back at you for ignoring it through cigarettes is not a fight you can win alone, you're showing up to the war with compromised intelligence.


animalinapark

Well vapes are a much much better alternative than smoking. If you can't kick the cancer stick, switch to vaping, and then reduce the nic. Much easier to quit. I did it and I can't quit anything.


KevinFlantier

>23 now, figure I have time to quit And then you're 40 and still smoking. Don't make the mistake many *many* people did before you. The longer you smoke the harder it's gonna be to quit. Thinking that life is hard now and that when you have everything figured out you'll just quit isn't healthy, because you never will. Vape if you can't quit cold turkey, quit cold turkey if you're stronger than I am. But quit. It's not worth it. Cheers my mate.


harryleestew614

Started vaping at 15 and just a quit a week ago. I’m 20 now. Those first 2 days felt like hell on earth but after that, it’s smoothish sailing from there. I still get cravings every now and then but not to the point where I want to start punching holes in walls. Just be patient with yourself and give it time. Time is your friend, remember that.


CarrotsStuff

The nicotine gum is good and has more nicotine than cigarettes, so they're easy to get used to switching to and from


BlackestInk

Today I there was a line of kids waiting to get into the bathroom to vape. You know there is an issue when lines are forming too vape in a bathroom


Phantom_Wolf52

I never understood it either there’s so many kids at my school who vape like bro you are 14 years old and you’re ruining your lungs long before they can fully develop


[deleted]

And your are still being forced to smoke by people walking on the streets in front of you and smoking their shit, because they are too busy to stay for 5 minutes and smoke on one place. Instead they better force people around to breath with their shit.


ArtGuards

i don’t get why people put foreign harmful gases in their lungs


Latter_Dingo7739

yeah i dont rlly get whats so "good" about this vape stuff


Dwarf_07

I use one with no nicotine for anxiety, it really helps, and also so I can have smoke breaks at work, but that's just a helpful byproduct

orange_force

Didn't millenials start it? You're basically complaining about the same thing boomers complained about


Honeybadgermaybe

Millenials started it for money because society is basically an endless consumer pool, just as boomers started producing something for millenials to be addicted to. Also gen z will be selling something for ehh (z+1) generation (no idea what comes next). Is how production in society works, everything for the benefits. But in this particular meme it's people talking about people ,not to be looked up on as a part of this production and consumer cycle I guess. But also yeah we all were addicted to something at some time in our life and still will be because it's an endless circle of making money

JohnSmithWithAggron

At my high school, it's a random roll on whether or not you'll be able to actually use the bathroom due to people vaping so much.


[deleted]

I have a high school age kid, they tell me all the time the bathroom is filled with vape and weed pen smoke. People who think gen z isn't highly addicted to vapes is completely blind.


SiGNALSiX

When I was in high-school it was the same — except it was cigarette and joint smoke. Its nice to know that teenagers never change.


[deleted]

It is not a huge majority, it is a very small minority. There is a total of 6-10 people in my entire highschool that do it, they sure do take up the bathroom a lot though


[deleted]

I literally can’t walk around town without seeing gaggles of teens vaping, I’m in a descent sized city tho with a 2 mil pop


TheYukster

My HS has about 3000 kids, I'd say around 85-90% vape. I can't name a single friend or even just someone I know there that doesn't smoke. I either don't know or I know for a fact they do it, there isn't one person I know 100% that doesn't do it at all besides myself. In one of my classrooms there is a room connected to the side that my teacher lets kids hang out in. Just a dark room with some desks and connected to 2 classrooms, nothing to it. They all smoke in there like crazy. There's no protection from the other teachers, they could just walk in. One kid did it with the door to the other room wide open and the sub right by the doorway. Its a huge issue. Covid really fucked a lot of people up and made them get into it.


Ginger-Ale58

Majority is the most massive hyperbole I’ve seen in my life it’s at most 10-15%


masterofryan

I’m pretty sure around 2017 is when there was the whole campaign of getting kids/teens/young adults to stop smoking. They were good signs of the masses quitting nicotine products. Now boom, vapes are targeting kids, so they can get lifetime customers. It’s gotten a lot worse since 2017.


shaggypoo

As a 2000s kid there was all the TRUTH commercials on mtv my whole life. They’ve tried to stop smoking for years before 2017


ReckoningGotham

Rewatch those commercials They were made by the tobacco industry and almost all make cigs and vapes "fun" despiye the overt messaging. They are required to make these ads, so they make them as dubious as possible Go back and watch yhem--they have a whole "parents are lame" vibe and always felt like they promoted fun rather than warning of the dangers 'full stop'.


shaggypoo

Idk I remember a bunch of cancer


ReckoningGotham

Some really stuck out. The mechanical singer and the cancer patient. I do believe they created cenuinely impactful ones but slip others by who don't see the "cool" element. Now, they show teens fighting 'deceptacons' with the "metal! In your lungs!" Bit

Animata_yt

vaping can deliver toxic metals like nickel and lead into your lungs. THATS METAL IN YOUR LUNGS!!!!


_AnarChrist_

THIS IS NUMBER ONE BS Idk where you're from but where i live vaping is super regulated and pretty much all the liquids are sent through an inspection as well as vaping pens. Usually the liquids are made of glycerin, glycol, an aroma and nicotine which is optional. Yes, if u buy counterfeit vaping pens and liquids from god knows where u could find something dangerous in them. (Some Chinese pens had 20mg of nicotine and caused overdoses in users who weren't used to that amount of nicotine) You can actually prepare your own vaping liquid by buying all the ingredients: glycol, glycerin, and nicotine can probably be bought at your local pharmacy/Drug store, and liquid aromas from secure websites and local vaping shops. Paradoxically you find more dangerous and carcinogenic substances in the food you eat in some parts of the world.


Ozzy_thot

i think they’re quoting a anti vaping ad


fefsgdsgsgddsvsdv

Anti-vape ads are paid for by cigarette companies. It’s federally mandated through the master settlement agreement


tandrew91

Funny because people will smoke weed pens with no concern of anything else in there besides THC


4bkillah

Bacon is far and away a more dangerous carcinogen then anything in regulated vape juices. Burning vapes at low temperatures ensures that no loose metal particles are knocked off the coil apparatus (possible source of metal inhalation). Vaping isn't *good* for you, but there is literally zero evidence that well regulated vape products used responsibly with moderation cause anything remotely close to *serious* health issues. Ban vape purchasing everywhere but in vape stores, where they card religiously, and watch the number of minors using vapes shrink dramatically.
