People who vape aren’t throwing butts everywhere, or filling ashtrays, they don’t smell like a pack of cigarettes and it’s (supposedly) a free country damn it. Something much cleaner than smoking comes along and instead of seeing the positive side, the control freaks are miserable as usual. I hate control freaks. Always have their noses in everyone else’s business.
Itvis not the government trying to kill vaping it is the do gooder progressives who don’t want anyone to have any fun. They use the power of government to achieve their goals. It really is no different than the temperance movement a century ago that got alcohol and all other drugs illegalized and their heirs who continue to maintain the prohibitions. They made the laws that gave the government the power to police our behavior in public and in private so they can jail anyone who dares to deviate.
If people want to vape, its none of your damn cucking business.
Its a harmless pastime. Don’t like e-cig? No one is forcing you to vape.
“I’m always grateful when a Freeper shows themselves to be a nanny state busybody at heart.”
There are a whole bunch of them here these days, or maybe just disrupters. I haven’t figured out which yet.
Had an old work buddy that would quote that principle. In the next breath, he would say, "if you want less poverty, tax poor people." In some cases, that just might work!!!
Vaping and Juuls are not good. I see kids sucking the damn things coming out of school,down the road and huddled in corners like pot smokers and ANYTHING can be put inside them like cannabis. My libertarian side says who cares and government should go FOAD but a good portion of our society abuses and is addicted to anything and becomes the new “crisis”. The intended effect/lie of the nanny state and taxes was partly to keep cigarettes from kids but these things are opening up to a new generation of kids much YOUNGER.
I was never a smoker but I chewed tobacco for about 20 years. At 52 after I was diagnosed with prostate cancer (not related to tobacco) I decided that the gamble was not worth it.
I switched to nicotine gum. Made my wife very happy. I love it and I can do it anywhere and it doesn't bother anyone.
Now I am addicted to the gum, but what the heck at least it does not cause cancer and gross everyone out.
I am not a smoker but I got five three-pack-a-day-or-more smokers to migrate to being non-smokers at all by getting to take up vaping instead.
I did this by buying them refillable, tank style e-cigarettes and showing them how they could ween themselves off nicotine by dropping the nicotine content of the vaping solutions until they were down to zero.
The longest one of these friends took to to stop even vaping, except for occasional social occasions with zero percent vapor, was six months. It works.
Each of them was amazed at how easy it was to stop.
Resident schmuck.
“...and the exhale is water vapor...”
And some prick will bitch about secondhand steam.
“I love it and I can do it anywhere and it doesn’t bother anyone.”
Don’t worry, sooner or later someone will bitch.
Just 2 problems, nicotine constricts blood vessels and promotes tumor growth. But hey vaping doesn’t smell, so go for it.
And now you vape. Will you also do it for a very long time as well? It's just as STUPID; you know.
Or do you contend that alcohol isn't addictive?
I quit a couple years back, gave my last pack and a half of menthol 100’s to a neighbor. Glad I did!

Nice try. You're going to have to do better than that.
The government doesn’t want to kill vaping, they want to tax it like tobacco. Something has to replace all the lost tobacco revenues, looks like it will be weed and vaping
