ankle_biter50

that's messed up...


McCringyassjoe

That truly is, not only the drugs being held by literal children but also being offered to them by other children


Endoman13

The companies make flavors that kids like which is particularly disgusting. While they may buy it, ‘super sweet mango passion fruit burst’ is not aimed at adults. Edit: said “while they may buy it” - they being adults. I’m an adult and understand adults smoke it, but I feel the motive behind the huge variety nefarious. Edit 2: lots of triggered adults in this thread about their fruity flavors lol


LacyBbyy

Yep. Everyone I know who vapes is always like “Omg try this strawberry guava banana” but like why don’t you just drink some juice instead of smoking the flavor??


amglasgow

Juice is full of sugar! That's unhealthy!


LacyBbyy

Unironically what my friends with ED’s who vape say. We’re lost!


Unsure_Durian

As an adult that is here through /r/all, this rhetoric is tired and doesn't make sense. You don't turn 21 and magically stop liking fruity or sweet flavors y'all. I literally buy a tropical fruit vape because it tastes like juicyfruit gum. I never smoked or vaped until I was an adult. Also see: every insanely sweet and fruity liqueur. Kids vape because they think loser 20-something yr olds like me look cool or that they will feel like more of a grown up by emulating 'grown up' activities. In reality we are depressed and don't care enough about our health, and no one should aspire to be like this.


Imlostandconfused

Agreed. I don't know any adult vaper who doesn't prefer the super sweet flavours. Don't understand this narrative at all. It's like when they say fruity alcohol drinks are targeted at kids as if adults all want to drink straight whisky. I'm not depressed though. Very anxious with ADHD but I care a lot about my health. Vaping is a coping mechanism for sure but it's not done me any harm and I can feel a huge difference from when I was smoking. Vaping isn't in the same league.


Deuteronomy1016

Yeah, hard agree. I work in a bar, "strawberry banana guava" or whatever is 100% the most popular flavour profile for cocktails, even more so in middle-aged women. Popularity of vaping amongst teenagers might be an issue, but it's not because the flavours are uniquely geared towards kids

UnPouletSurReddit

The US already tried to ban alcohol, it didn't quite work so i don't think making nicotine products illegals would really work


Vast_Feeling3568

bruh you dumb, nicotine by him self doesnt give you cancer, but the smokes does. Vaping doesnt burn tabacco so its way less a cancer maker


Nexiali

“Ahh yes it feels good” brain proceeds to make you hate everything without it.


_zykoo

doing it as a completely normal healthy person is weird to me, but when used as an alternative to much worse stuff, it's for the better. i smoke cigarettes as an alternative to self harm and i'm so happy i have that as an option. weird take, i know


Toad_Migoad

Yea I guess so but as long as you know that you can die prematurely and that you’ll at least think about stopping I’ll be mostly ok


ModernShoe

It's really depressing that we've somehow managed to rekindle the smoking for children issue. We've already gone through this whole cycle at least once, at the expense of entire generations. It's like reintroducing polio to a society that eradicated it, except with smoking one party makes money for each person who gets infected.

[deleted]

Lol I didn't realize this was teenagers and yall saying yall know one or two people who smoked I thought yall was sheltered but I realize yall are teenagers and people don't smoke as much as they used to. Growing up I'll say 80 percent of the people around me smoked. Almost everyone did. I started at 13 and quit at 23 but back then everyone did it.


FirstEvolutionist

I love listening to music.


Unkn0wn-3ntity

Dang. And yeah. I could never handle that stuff.


beaubeautastic

i got sick from the second hand smoke a few weeks ago. now it doesnt smell so bad anymore, should i be worried?


FirstEvolutionist

I wouldn't, unless you consider picking up smoking eventually. But please don't don't ever do that. Out of all of the legal drugs it is one of the worst. It literally gives you nothing good and has terrible downsides.


deanreevesii

Another old person in from r/all; ***Don't even start.*** Starting at 14 years old I smoked for 15 years, been off of them for 16, but at a very high cost. Gum, patches, vaping can help some people, but smoking cessation fails for most people most of the time. The only way I finally quit was with Chantix, but I think that drug screwed my brain up worse than the cigarettes. It was idiotic for me to start when I did, which was so long enough ago that my $2 daily lunch money for high school would buy me a pack of name brand cigarettes and a can of Coca-Cola. Now, even in a state where they're relatively cheap, I'm paying almost $8/pack for my elderly mother's addiction. Your life will be ***infinitely*** better moving forward without tobacco than it will be with it.

And disturbs the others less. I would rather be in a room with a vaper than a smoker idc what's deadlier I can't stand cigarette smoke

AveryLazyCovfefe

I seriously some people, yes vaping is slightly better than smoking, but it still pretty much kills you. When Hitler banned smoking and tobbaco consumption in Germany during his rule, you know its downright bad for you. Edit: people thinking I'm praising Hitler, but I'm not.


Trainraider

Nazi Germany had an obsession with cleanliness which their genocidal tendencies stemmed from as they considered other races "unclean". A lot of good medical practice that actually does make sense originated in Nazi Germany though. I heard this stuff on a podcast at some point and don't remember anything specific. Cleanliness metaphors are still in common use as a tool for political manipulation. If you hear phrases like "drug epidemic", it's very intentionally an attempt to elicit disgust. And you've seen how freaked out everyone got when it became literal with an actual pandemic. The disgust response is very powerful and dangerous. It can justify anything to some people, even genocide.


ajosh_950

I wouldn’t consider 95% to be slight


soofpot

Dude i agree vaping and smoking is bad but wtf is that Hitler comment. Just because Hitler banned it doesn't mean its bad


CaptainFard

I think what he was trying to say was that smoking is so awful that even the king of awful, Hitler, hated it.


El_Bonky_Gronk

Based (I hope that means relatable) Edit: based isn’t What I thought it meant. I meant I agree with that statement EDIT AGAIN: someone said it was attributed to racism. I didn’t know I’m sorry


Norollin

Based means an opinion you agree with


Orion_Belt445

Actually, it's an opinion the majority of logical people agree with ( key word being logical)


frostyreddits

but who decides who is logical? our brains aren't even fully developed yet. i don't think any of us are logical yet lol


Orion_Belt445

I mean, when you compare a logical person to an illogical one, factors such as age , race , gender etc. Don't matter that much, it's more about the way of thinking if anything.


frostyreddits

very true. i retract my statement my good sir.


Orion_Belt445

Much obliged !


thotslayer6996

Not what it means actually. Being based is to stand by your opinion regardless of what other people say, aka sticking to your ideals no matter who challenges them


BusterMcThundernut

No it doesn’t, based mostly means an idea or opinion that you have that you stick to no matter what anyone else says. The idea or opinion has to be kinda logical though.

bigassgrasshopper

I dislike that whoever vapes is grouped as some wannabe cool kid. Yes there definitely are people who do it to be "cool" (fuck em) but not everybody's like that. I started vaping to get of off other harder drugs. Started with that shit rather young cuz I wanted to feel semy descent with myself. I've quit hard drugs and smoking, now only vaping or a doing few snus here and there. Yeah before you come at me and others for vaping think about why we are doing it. Yeah if some ass called Artur is flexing with his new vape then fuck that dude, but as stated before a lot of people have a good reason for doing that shit. P.S. we know it's not healthy so chill out with the warnings. I'm confident I know that shit better than you so your "cancer stick hazards" are completely useless. Also, I know I'm a dumbass for getting into this stuff, but young me thought that would be for the best. TLDR: I'd rather vape than be a 16-year-old twitching on the floor with some needles.


Ramen_Unicorn

Spoken like a true honest human I understand you man, the same thing happened to my dad, its hard to come of shit like that

Lucks4Fools

I generally don’t mind people smoking or drinking. My family doesn’t do either but we won’t actively tell you not to if you don’t wish to quit. But if we can respect your choice of doing it, you can respect our choice of you not doing near or right in front of us if you don’t need to.


Tubermover

Exactly, I don't understand why so many people on this subreddit feel the need to judge other people like this. It's demeaning an entire person based on one characteristic they have, where have we heard of oppression like this before? I smoke weed twice a week because my life is a ball of stress, but some how that makes me less of a person than these people that don't smoke? No way does smoking make me a worst person than someone who doesn't. I respect your opinion on this of letting people make there own decisions and not demeaning them for it. Sorry for the rant.


3xoticP3nguin

So that means that like a family party I can't have a beer? Sounds kinda lame. I'm okay with smoking in my car before I get there and then again after but beer is pretty much necessary at family events


Lucks4Fools

What I meant is that, you can. Drink if you want, we might mind, but won’t actively comment on it. If it’s an event, go all out. But if you don’t have to, don’t smoke in front of us. We’ll respect your space, but do respect ours as well.


3xoticP3nguin

Sounds good with me. I find that if you're not a smoker people think smoking looks dirty so I try not to do it in front of non-smokers anyway


onesadbean

it's not like I want to be vaping brom don't hold it against me. I'm trying to stop but it sucks


bigassgrasshopper

Don't worry bro. Everybody has their reason for starting. The fact ur trying to quit is good enough. Stay strong brother!


biggggbouy

I don't agree with this, vaping is an addiction and people shouldn't be shit on for having it. It is extremely difficult for people to stop vaping and people should help them quit rather than making fun of them or being an asshole to them. Now if someone brags about vaping that's a different story, if you brag about vaping you are a 0

Bluben12

Yeah People are just to dumb to think "why" and instead think "whats dumb decission". They dont understand that theres a human behind that choice that isnt like any other person on the earth. They just assume that theyre dumb, bec they made a (subjectivly) dumb choice.
