Gamers don't smoke. It ruins the consoles

I suppose that's one of my old person biases that no longer apply. Used to be hard to find a SNES used that wasn't piss yellow. Internet cafes were like hotboxing nicotine every dota 1 tournament

The SNES thing is actually because the chemical fire-r-slur-dant in the plastic yellows over time/exposure to UV rays.

Huh... we all just assumed it was nicotine stains. the-more-you-know

Can confirm no one smoked in my parents house and their old vhs turned yellow anyway

Yeah, young people in general don't usually smoke in my experience.

They do vape a lot though, which tbh I don't mind. They're not trying to give me cancer anymore so go nuts

They're not trying to give me cancer anymore

i have some bad news for you about the contents of vape juice

I seriously doubt secondhand vapor is nearly as dangerous as secondhand tobacco smoke, but I very well could be wrong
