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
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?
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.
There are people that are addicted to a drug the government will not regulate because they are taxing the shit out of the addicted. Grow a little empathy.
Especially for the vapers because they allready diminish the harm to them and others. The exoust fumes of the car beside you are many more times dangerous than the passive vape you could inhale.
I’m specifically calling out people who downvoted me for saying I don’t like the smell of vapes
I’m honestly with you, I think cigarette and vape sales should be criminalised, smokers are being taken advantage of both by the government and the smoko sellers
ah yes let’s do a prohibition 2.0 because why not. especially when the fascists are in power
This might be hard to believe, but I’m one of the dozens of people who don’t live in the US
regardless of where you’re from, criminalizing drug use leads to people dying. it’s been a fucking disaster in any country it’s been implemented
Where did I ever say I wanted to criminalise drug use?
where are people gonna buy cigs if you ban them? the black market. who’s gonna go to prison over it? marginalized people. this is already reality in authoritarian countries
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.
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

Not true at all. Vapes don’t contain any known carcinogens.
According to cancer.org.au
For example, propylene glycol and glycerine found in e-cigarettes when overheated can produce dangerous levels of the carcinogens formaldehyde and acetaldehyde.
Because they have from the car to the door to do it then who knows how long.
Because the vape makes me go from my hyper impusilve impatient regular self who I was long before vaping (and why I started using nicotine or seeked it out in the first place) and patient temporarily, I get like an hour at least out of that hit before entering a building, usually do it because I forgot to vape before leaving or while walking.
The issue isn’t that I need to hit it right then and there, the issue always comes later when the restless legs kick in. Btw maybe not great to know for those with restless legs, ive had it forever growing up, nicotine/thc combo makes it go away temporarily and you can stop being distracted by your body and actually do stuff with full focus.
No shade from me. I get it.
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.
And I’ll fuckin do it again.
It’s water vapor dudes, just do it inside.
PG/VG are
oils not waterhuh til they’re actually just viscous liquids called diols that contain two alcohol groups! still not water thoughThey’re not oils or they’d all have died after a few puffs.
You think that cloud of smoke coming out of people’s mouth is oil?
I don’t care about vapes, but not everyone wants secondhand smoke
Shit lingers for a while too
There’s a reason why we did away with the tobacco designated areas in buildings, the same applies to vapes
It’s literally not smoke, that’s what I’m saying. It’s fucking water vapor. There’s no harm, and it’s literally undetectable aside from a brief smell of whatever it’s flavored with.
Equating vapes with tobacco is so stupid. There is zero (0) tobacco in a vape.
Dude I’m talking about smoke from vapes as in vape cloud, mist, whatever you wanna call it. It’s still secondhand, and it still lingers in the air long enough for other people to breathe it in. I can tell when someone took a hit even if I didn’t see them puff it because it doesn’t just straight up disappear immediately and like 99% is like cotton candy or some other sweet flavor that is super distinctive in smell. If you ever lived in cali you’d know exactly what I’m talking about. Obviously it doesn’t stay for years or anything, hell it usually clears up after like a couple of minutes at worst, but to say it’s undetectable is just false.
I’m obviously not talking about the same smoke as tobacco, that shit is like tar and reeks for years. I’m also not saying there’s tobacco in vapes, I just said the reason why we don’t allow smoking inside is because of tobacco, and for good reason.
And my point is that vaping isn’t smoking and shouldn’t be subject to the same ban. Vaping doesn’t leave residue or discolor walls or any of the other nasty shit that tobacco does. The vape cloud doesn’t linger like smoke. And secondhand vaping isn’t even a thing, it’s like secondhand breathing. It’s just flavored water vapor, there’s no other chemicals or stuff in the cloud.
Edit: no other chemicals at harmful levels, technically there’s an almost imperceptibly small amount of stuff in there but it’s roughly equivalent to ambient air in a city
Are you in middle school?
The other stuff in vape clouds is such an infinitesimally small amount, it’s really not worth considering. On the order of like <400 migrograms per gram of vape cloud, with the average vape cloud mass being <100mg
Study that I was able to access through my university
The scientific failings of nearly all research into e-cigs is a big pet peeve of mine. So, so many studies with abstracts and titles shouting VAPES WILL LITERALLY KILL YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN IF YOU LOOK AT THEM and then when you dig into the results it’s less harmful than ambient air in a Walmart.
Only up to 100 mg? Such a tiny amount of substance could never have an impact on a human body! That’s why when I take a 50 mg edible absolutely nothing happens.
You are delusional, and completely misinterpreting that study and Wikipedia. Like, reading your other comment you did a “lot of work” on - I’m kind of amazed - it reminds me of the kind of stuff that I’d see to back up Ivermectin being a miracle cure.
Since you seem very concerned with dosage:
Secondhand smoke is also harmful:
You have an addiction and are doing something that is harmful to your body. There is not an evil conspiracy by the government and research scientists to convince you that nicotine is bad for you, nicotine is bad for you.
You are right but you still will be stoned for saying the truth. Those ppl probably breathe in much more harmful shit daily without second thoughts
This comment section makes me want to start to vape again
