on the topic of electronic cigarettes

They are not a free pass to be an as[/plain=]shole to people around you.

Just because the stuff you are blowing in my face does not smell does not mean you're not blowing stuff in my face.

At least wait till you get outside before you start blowing water vapor or whatever sh[/plain=]it it is everywhere, or at the very least wait till you're not at the fu[/plain=]cking register in the front of the store.


But merry Christmas, guys. Or happy holidays if you're one of those people who likes to pretend Christmas is not a thing.

 

Relax, they're starting to get banned everywhere. Well, here at least.

 

I don't think they should be banned, I just think people need to relax and use them appropriately.

 

Doesn't this go against your OP?

 

Your original post is broken.

 

I know nothing about e-cigarettes, is the smoke or whatever still harmful to inhale?

 

SURE IS

 

then what is the point of them?

 

1. You fucked up the tag. Good work playa.

2. They're like hybrid cars for poor people. Just fillin' the air with smug [DOUBLEPOST=1387925237][/DOUBLEPOST]

No it's not. It's vapor. It's still addictive because there's nicotine in it. Big difference from harmful and addictive.[DOUBLEPOST=1387925290][/DOUBLEPOST]

The point is Ben is wrong.

 

except nicotine is harmful.

 

I'd trust the guy named drugs on this one.

 

No, it's addictive. It's not at all linked to the causing of the cancer. Worst nicotine does is make your brain feel wonky for like five seconds, lower your hunger levels, and sometimes make ya poo.

 

No. I don't have a problem with them conceptually, its when people act like because they're not regular cigarettes they can be rude with them and no one can say anything about it. And I see them the same way as diet soda, people who want to actively take part in something unhealthy but don't want the unhealthy parts. Just drink water or don't smoke. So while I do have problems with how they're used, they should be available to people who want an alternative, even if I personally don't like them. And btw this is all coming from a non-smoker so my view is a little biased and uninformed. I have no idea what I'm talking about.

 

I'd rather my mum smoked e-cigs than the real thing. Cheaper, healthier, cleaner.
That's my stance.

 

Thats why I recognize they should exist, regardless of my opinion.

 

No, it doesn't. He said that he hates when people smoke them in his vicinity because although it doesn't have all the crap that's in a real cigarette, it's still smoke that he has to breathe in. Personally, I agree with him. I hate people smoking around me whether or not it's a real cigarette. If I had my way, we'd have all our cities dotted with bus stop sized smoking booths and smoking in open air would be illegal. My air is already polluted enough, so why should I have to endure it being more polluted just so certain people can satisfy a stupid addiction to a substance that will slowly kill not only them, but also people in their vicinity?

 

Vapour. Not proper cigarettes. Different substances. Like the difference between a splif and a cigar.
Also addictions are serious problems. Not all people who smoke addicts.

 

Some peeps that I know that smoke e-cigs always do them inside and makes me freak out when I don't realize it. But yeah, sure they're not harmful but I mean, they just need to be a little more courteous. Hell, one guy was even trying to smoke one during class, lol.

 

Doesn't matter. Below and I don't want to be inhaling secondhand anything no matter how harmless it is. You could be burning dried up lettuce and I could be well aware of that, but it's still only polite to ensure that the people around you don't have to breathe it in. To me, it's as unpleasant as when the wind blows smoke from a bonfire in my face.

Also, I don't know the difference between a splif and a cigar. I don't even know what the hell a splif is.

I'm not saying that all people who smoke are addicts. I'm saying that if you are so desperate for a smoke that you have to stink up public air with it, I'm going to make the rather safe assumption that you're addicted to nicotine and are willing to die of lung cancer to satisfy that addiction.

 

addiction is harmful
