I know that several people think that Vape or E Cigarettes are cool. Not from my standpoint now. A neighbors kid blew some vape in my face. I now have blisters from it going down my throat that got infected, so I'm hacking up green stuff and on medication to fight the infection. Great stuff if you don't mind not breathing.

What was he vaping? Radiator fluid?

[Kalimaster]

I don't know. What I do know is that a fourteen year old kid does not need to have that stuff. It's not good for adults either.

They have stupid signs for vape parlours up around my city. It's irritating. Smoking is disgusting.

It is. I have no idea why people do that.

Cause all the cool birds do it.

And because I'm a rebel.

That's what they think.Everyone else thinks that they smell like crap and avoid them.

Exhaust from a car or boat is also bad. People die vey often from exhaust fumes!

Kids, do not hang out behind a boat or a car!

Some people would think that letting yourself gain weight, eating junk food with corn syrup or sugar, or writing a story where you kill someone off is disgusting. It is all just a choice. It may be disgusting to you, but some of the things you do are probably disgusting to other people.

Junk food is tasty, getting slim is hard.Not smoking is easy.Just don't start.Smoking doesn't bring any pleasure, it's simply addicting.I have tried smoking a few times(thank you, friends) and I never felt why should I continue.But I guess you are right, it's their choice.

Honestly I don't mind the vaping part as much as I mind the people who actually do it...

I think it's required that if you vape you have to tell everyone in sight that you vape, it's kinda like being vegan.

Le Mason at werk, "Hi, how are you?"
Persona at mai werk, "I vape."
M: "What? No how are you?"
P: "I vape... and I'm vegan."
M: "..."

My other pet peeve with it is similar to the OP's, I will never understand why people think they can just let off the damn vapor wherever the god well feel like. I was in my friend's car the other day and her friend just started blowing that stuff all around the vehicle, the windows were shut and we could barely see out of the front window. Then when we got back to her house the friend just kept going, filling the entire living room with fog. That is the frustrating part of vaping, but otherwise I have smoked hookah on a few occasions and I don't have a problem with vaping (or smoking) in general, rather its the rudeness that people have when they do it.

Yeah the only people who die from exhaust are the ones who seal the door ways and fill up the room with it. It doesn't kill just by standing an sniffing it (otherwise I'd have died years ago).

Not true. Smoking actually relieves stress and anxiety (part of nicotine). Smoking has actually been used medicinally for that specifically. That is why it is addictive. If pain killers didn't relieve pain they wouldn't be addictive, and if hard drugs didn't cause hallucinations and make you feel good they wouldn't be addictive. And some things people don't find addictive at all. Again it is all perspective.

For sure, but, growing up around two parents who smoked nonstop, I've had it with it. It's a nasty habit. I have plenty of my own, too.

e cigs is just a loophole to get away with tv adverts for smoking products. since the device itself is just a vaporizer and the refils are the thing you cant advertise. and its working, young people are now at smoking level mad men. enjoy your cancer.

of course i dont care about tobacco products, my state legalized weed.

Actually smoking rates have dropped nearly in half in the United States (only an estimated 20% smoke instead of the 40% from the 1960's). It is actually doing a lot better.

e cigs also havent been around too long. give it time.

i suppose not, with everyone legalizing weed and all.

[LordNothing]

many of the carcinogens you get from smoking (either substance) are mostly combustion products. combustion causes all kinds of chemical reactions on the side to make a wide array of nasty things. vaping in theory prevents that from happening, but nicotine is still a carcinogen. vaping too likely causes unwanted endothermic reactions in the materials being vaporized.

omg hahaha.

Yeah I love getting links to a website that is called "How To Wake Surf" that links to a study that doesn't even exist on that website anymore (probably because it was true). Also the entire page is just an advertisement for fresh air exhaust devices. It is nothing but product placement. Also it doesn't even mention anything about carbon monoxide from cars or anything. Just boats. And it says you have to sit in the exact right spot, and be exposed to A LOT!!!! Which only means I was right and you have to practically breath the stuff in without end for a few minutes until you suffocate from lack of oxygen.

This isn't even college level citation they are using. According to EVERY single type of citation method, everything quoted must be in quotes, and be in text documented, and the citation at the end must contain the author's name, title of the journal or article, page number, and the date it was published. This article you linked doesn't even confirm that the monoxide does much. In the Pregnant lady section it says it "MAY BE DO" to the monoxide.

Come on and read your sources man. This article is so broken that none of its external links even work (so I can't even confirm if the quote from its source is even true). It isn't even a medical website. The website doesn't even have a copyright date.

Which has no links as to where it obtained this information and just below you figure out this is one of those "myths you believe" sites that says "Stimulating G-spot" and stuff about sex. This is still not a verified or cited article. It is worse than the last one for being credited. Also this talks about Carbon-Monoxide poisoning. In order to get Carbon-Monoxide poisoning you have to absorb a lot of it. Every person who owns a car is exposed to it every single day. There is a little in your car as you drive every day.

Also until the symptoms become severe it is impossible to know if it is a common cold or flu or if it is poison. So again this doesn't help your argument at all. It isn't sourced, and most of all doesn't back up what you say. Mechanics breath this stuff in 10 times more than a normal human and yet they are still kicking.
