If you're trying to get lung cancer .... get lung cancer with style

If you are going to get cancer, at least look cool.

Cigarettes look so uncool, though. Hardly a step up from vapes and they fuckin stiiiinnnnk.

I would much rather be near someone vaping their blueberry muffin raztastic whatever than a lit cigarette

This. I smoked cigs for such a long time, now on vape. It's 100% better. You feel better, your teeth are better, list goes on. Sure it's not the best, we all should quit smoking. But it's better than nasty ass cigs that stay on your clothes, car, makes your teeth yellow and the list goes on.

There is nothing better than a cig, a glass of whiskey, in a hot tub naked on a cold day. But I don't want that everyday.

I'm 45+ and French. This seems very misleading as smoking has been declining a lot the past couple decades.

Did it actually? I remember going to france like twice a year like 30 years ago. And my observation was just: everyone smokes.

When the indoor smoking ban started, i felt like people stopped. Same as over here. But now i feel like at least as many people atarted smoking again. But i haven't really been in france again in the last 10 years.

Between 2000 and 2019 the number of cigarettes sold in France has halved.

Not an option in France

i quit for a year and a half, then i made the conscious choice to get back on it because life is so utterly shit i might as well enjoy my vices

What the fuck is this comment section even? Is vape vs cig the new Star Trek vs Star Wars, where fans of either side congregate to tear into each other with enough vitriol to make both vape and cig look healthy in comparison?

Each new import batch from Reddit these days is lower quality :)

I was recently in Europe. It's not even about health. Guys, stop it, you smell like shit.

reject modernity, embrace tradition

[–] CrackedLinuxISO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 1 week ago (3 children)

In my anecdotal experience, French people vape a shitload.

I had French coworkers who vaped nonstop in the Paris office. You could hear the click of the heating element every few minutes. I've also seen old French ladies ripping from huge tricked out vapes.

[–] PolarKraken@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 week ago

The idea of elegant old French women doing sick vape tricks is just...really something.

Funny considering tobacco is a solid American good

i don't think highly of people who smoke but I think much less of people who think it's cool. at least if you're embarrassed and apologetic about it I will still consider you a person.
