I feel like Lemmy is starting to have a real problem with houlier-than-thou posting.

Life is fucking shit, if people want to cope through that with a little recreational drug use, let them enjoy that small pleasure. If you don't want to vape, more power to you, just don't act like it makes you better than them.

It’s just a joke based on a stereotype. It’s not that deep.

My bad, I was talking about comments in the thread, nit the meme itself.

A lot of them also vape in the building when they think they won't get caught

I once insinuated that I hated the smell of vapes and people downvoted me, saying "noooo but blueberry muffin flavour actually smells so goooood"

Yeah okay buddy, I think you're one of the ones I'd find wandering the streets vaping in front of everyone

Edit: to the people currently downvoting me, you guys do know vaping can also give you cancer and increases your risk of respiratory disease, right? And by vaping in front of other people you're forcing that risk on to them, right? Grow a little empathy

i really don't care what you put in your body of your own volition, whether legal or not. go for it, i'm not in a place to look down on you. but just don't make me breathe in your vape cloud. I smoke and I will only smoke in private or amongst people who smoke with me, or who have given me an explicit thumbs up to smoke near them. to do otherwise would be douchy.

This is true, but it's so much better than walking through cig smoke, or smelling that shit in someone's car, or the nightmare of walking into someone's house that has tar all over the walls and furniture because they smoke in the house.

I'll take mass replacement of cigs with vape any day.

It's better poison, but it's still poison -A former vaper...vapist?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago

I would go with vaper. That other one sounds too much like that guy Brock Turner..

I was with you until you tried to lecture people on what's bad for them or not. Yes people know. Lots of things are bad for you, they are adults.

Did you know science has proven that being on social media is bad for you?

There is no direct evidence vaping causes cancer.

The main components of vape juice are polyene glycol and vegetable glycerin. Both of which are completely benign and added into many every day products. And before vaping nicotine was a thing, it has been used as a safe drug delivery method for decades.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

To say there's no direct evidence is disingenuous. Yes, there are no peer reviewed articles that directly correlate vaping and cancer chance, but guess what there also isn't? Studies that say they're safe

The reason for this is simple: there's about a 14 year delay between any smoking changes and lung cancer presenting itself. Extrapolate that to three trials, and you're looking at minimum 50 years before it can hit shelves

What is known about vapes is that they contain many of the same carcinogens found in cigarettes, which should be a red flag to most people

Because they have from the car to the door to do it then who knows how long.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Almost like it's an addiction

Why do smokers of all kinds have to smoke right in front of the door of every fucking building?

[–] [email protected] 90 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I remember when they did it INSIDE buildings. And cars. Schools, hospitals... if you lived through the 80's you just have the pervasive smell of tobacco registered as a prime core memory.

I use to live in Vegas as a child occasionally. We'd sometimes go to the casinos for shows and have to cross The Floor

I can still feel it on my skin decades and decades later

Because they're selfish inconsiderate pricks who can't fathom how disgusting they truly are.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Because that tiny overhang is the only goddamn shade/rain shelter in this entire city block. People love designating "that spot over there" as the smoking spot but hate putting any sort of shelter from the elements.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 20 hours ago

So? Whoever brought the cigarettes should bring a jacket or umbrella too.

That spot "over there" is so the smelly smoke can also stay "over there" and not end up in the lungs of healthy people.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Go get wet fucker, I give no fucks, you chose to smoke not me.
