… they look even douchier than a cigarette. This huge tacky looking thing stuck in your mouth that you’re drawing so hard on your cheeks suck in. Classy. You look like idiots. —Dushe

You make it seem like an awesome blow job.
That’s what they’re practicing for… I agree with OB – those things look stupid…
It looks like just step up from mainlining in your arm.
Say what you like. They’ve kept me off cigarettes for almost four months now, after 42 years of smoking. I’ve tried everything else, and this is the only thing that’s worked. We’re trying to break addictions here.
Clearly image is important to the OB. I’ve heard many stories similar to hispanic attack’s. Sounds like they’re a good thing for society, fuck looks.
Fedoras and skinny jeans look stupider than e-smokes, yet people still wear them.
If vaping is a good way to get people off cigarettes then it has some value. The concern would be that it makes it easier for teens to take it up.
And I agree, it looks about as cool as a twenty year old in a Tilley hat smoking a pipe – i.e. not at all.
Hispanic attack, you are still addicted. Argue if you wish but before you do, consider this:
A cocaine addict says he’s no longer addicted because he doesn’t mainline (shoot up) anymore; he just snorts it.
Stopping a drug delivery system doesn’t mean that you stopped using … fool yourselves if you wish but until you no longer imbibe addictive substances, you’re a user. Loser.
Maybe ‘idiot’ was the look they were going for…
To avoid judgemental morons from bothering to speak with them perhaps.
Do you vape, Willard?
Who gives a fuck, OB? Does it really bother you THAT much what other people do when it has absolutely no impact on you? Get a life, and consider yourself lucky that someone else looking like an idiot is your biggest worry.
Jesus Sonovabitch, I agree, I am still addicted to nicotine, which incidentally is not a carcinogenic substance. The harm from cigarettes comes from the smoke, not from the nicotine. I’ve been lowering the dosage, and by the summer I figure I’ll be done. It took a while to stop feeling like having a cigarette every time I saw people smoking on the street. My lungs have stopped their polyphonic chorus of wheezing at night. A better analogy than snorting or shooting cocaine would be methadone treatment for heroin addicts- it keeps withdrawal at bay. The e-cig keeps me from wanting to smoke burning tobacco leaves, which are highly carcinogenic.
Doesn’t anyone realize that you cant get ecigs in canada that contain nicotine? If you replaced your cigarette smoking with ecigs and claim you’re only doing it because you are addicted to the nicotine, good news! You’re nicotine free.
My problem with them is the people who wear them around their neck. It looks silly. Also, just because it isn’t a real cigarette, doesn’t mean I want to breathe it in when you decide to puff away on it after walking up and standing next to me
