            My favorite part of this is that no one really asked you to come out and start judging other people’s vices.

              Not judging. You do you, but how you perceive reality doesn’t really factor into actual facts.

                I get it, but the community is called Funny, not VapingIsGreatForYou. It sorta changes the context of the original comment drastically. Not to mention Vapenation was an old meme that essentially made fun of vapers. I understand you’re trying to help people, but this might be the wrong place for that.

                  I have a sardonic view of life, so it is what it is. You could just downvote me, maybe even block me, and move on with your life. Just sayin’.

              To a long-term smoker maybe, but to new smokers (judging by the “vapelife” quote), it is absolutely correct. Read my edit above.

            Let’s just ignore the actual studies saying otherwise. Sorry not American ones, conflict of interest, tobacco is one of its last money makers that isn’t slaughtering people and taking their shit.

      • Not to be dismissive of anything you said, but I know a few people who vape that shit that is literally just flavor. No nicotine, no drugs. I’m not sure if you’re even supposed to inhale it but they do.

        There’s also this other product I’ve seen people hawking on YouTube that’s basically a fancy wooden tube you put cotton wads soaked with flavor juice in and puff on that to get some taste in your mouth.

        So there is at least 1 safe way to “vape.” It’s just not technically vaping anything 🤷🏻‍♂️
