I hope you have kids and that they start smoking in their angst-ridden rebellious phase and become lifelong smokers because of it.
Not only that, but I also hope every time you get to see your kids, you smell smoke on their clothes and when you do, may it remind you of this time on lemmy when you said all smokers should find a faster way to kill themselves.
Having kids with the world as it is? That is entirely too cruel. Have some heart.
If you smoke, please just find a faster way to kill yourself
I think thats a bit too rough, you need to calm down a little :)

Actually, let me update those wishes a bit: Not only do I hope your kids become smokers, but now I hope one of them gets a fulfilling, high-paying job as a tobacco company executive.
And after that? May your house be struck by lightning and burn to the ground, and the only thing that saves you from living under a bridge is the fact that your wealthy tobacco company executive offspring can afford to just buy you a new house with his hard-earned tobacco blood money, so that way every day you live your life knowing that your existence is subsidized entirely by smokers.

Okay, how about we compromise? How about I just put up a sign that says “if you don’t like the smoke, get the fuck out of my bar” and that way, you can just choose for yourself whether or not you’d like to give the place your business instead of expecting everyone else there to bend over backwards just to accommodate you?

Smokers are a minority. Far more people are non-smokers than are smokers. Bar owners who cater to smokers are shooting themselves in the foot.
Wrong. Actually, most club/bar owners really don’t want people like YOU there, because nobody wants you pestering their customers and driving people away.
Lots of people who like to drink, dance and party avoid bars because they don’t like smoke.
^ See, here’s how I know you’re full of BS: I live in a major vacation area and there’s only one single non-smoking club in the entire city.
Hawaii banned smoking in all buildings open to the public and within 100 feet of the entrance of any building open to the public. Not one bar or nightclub was forced to shut down. The idiots were just forced to poison themselves in private.
Then move to Hawaii. I know I’d feel better if people like you were stuck on an island hundreds of miles away from the mainland where you can’t bother the rest of us.
Also, I’d like you to know that every time I encounter an annoying Smoking Nazi like yourself who love giving holier-than-thou lectures about smoking, I instinctually light up a cigarette while they give their anti-smoking lecture, and I intentionally blow the smoke right in their face.
Bro why are you so defensive about a bunch of poison-belching stink bombs?
Bro why are you so defensive about a bunch of poison-belching stink bombs?
^ See, funny thing about me is that when you say things like that, my brain actually interprets it as “Not only do I want you to smoke right next to me, but I also I want you to blow all the smoke right in my face after every puff you take”.
Presumably because they’re just people, and don’t deserve death wished upon them?
Addiction sucks. I quit 2 years ago. It does feel nice to breathe clearly.
it’s important to remember that these are everyday people who have fallen into an addiction that they desperately would like to quit but can’t.
I do understand your anger though. It is very very annoying and harmful for everyone else around smokers and you are justifiably upset about that.
Instead of being mad at the bottom level people, you should be mad at the billion dollar companies selling people these highly addictive drugs that ruin lives.

I was addicted to alcohol for a long time. I get that addiction is a rough road but when I drank alcohol, no one was forced to drink with me.
Naah, instead of “forcing” people to drink with you, you ended up blowing way too much money on drinks for a stranger you just met because “you like their face”, bet that person $100 that you could piss in a cup from across the bar, then when the bartender asked you to stop you asked her to “show you her tits”, then punched the stranger you bought a drink for earlier because “you don’t like their face”, then after getting kicked out of the bar you call your ex at 2 in the morning proclaiming your undying love, right before driving wasted to get back home and end up t-boning some poor soul and putting them in the hospital.
Y’know. The standard type of stuff alcoholics do when abusing their drug of choice. But by all means, tell me more about how I’m the worst person on the planet because my cigarette happened to bother you a little, Mr. Chug-A-Lug. 😉
Unfathomably based
Oh yeah, even higher chance of cancer, what’s not to love
certainly not the disgusting smell that’s for sure
Don’t be so sure about that one.
Oh come on, my guy. This is the perfect set-up. Do I need to make a sprog account just to follow you around and show you up?
“Stop smoking those!” the people said, as Timmy dragged away.
“You know those things’ll kill you!” for the fourteenth time that day.
But Timmy’s breaks were longer, since he took the habit on,
and now he was addicted, smoking cigs from dusk to dawn.
So, when a woman stopped and said "I know a better form,
you needn’t even quit the stuff, nor need you fear the harm!"
poor Timmy went right down the street and filled his pockets full
of cartridges and flavored oils and other random bull.
He puffed away now on his vape, and brushed his fears aside,
But glycol soon accumulates, and Timmy fucking died.
Nice one! Forgot about poem for your sprog, they still around?
They are. Their last post on Reddit was 16 days ago.
That’s Zyn and not Vapes
I agree it seems that “smokeless tobacco” means “consuming tobacco by putting it in your mouth rather than putting nicotine into air and inhaling it”. I assumed that “smokeless tobacco” included “vaporized nicotine”, probably due to my unfamiliarity with nicotine products.
Regardless, it seems that using a vape leads to less harm than using cigarettes:
More research needs to be done, but all the evidence points to vaping being vastly safer than smoking. Of course, your lungs are meant to inhale air and nothing else, so neither is still the best option
Talk for yourself, but I, as a homo sapiens, evolved from a fish. So my Lungs are actually made to breathe water.
This comment was sent from atlantis.
Aw weather controlling atlantean jews. Always knew this was the inevitable conclusion.
I’ll let you know that us weather-controlling atlanteans are actually direct descendants of the greek and as such worship Zeus and the greek pantheon.
Anyways, I have to go now, time to sacrifice a bull to Zeus. Ask him to accelerate climate change. Atlantian colonialism, turning the whole world into one huge sunken city, you know how it is.
seems like lack of regulation resulted in a number of high profile serious cases of harm
obviously smoking is bad but saying vaping is vastly safer assumes best case on one side and worse case on the other
If you don’t want to vape that’s fine but acting like it is worse than smoking is crazy. Just don’t buy sketchy refills or any thc vapes in non legal states. Or you could make your own pretty cheaply.
except a number of those were not from sketchy sources so much as the supply chain is itself sketch
that includes the do it yourself juice
so unless you are doing something dry and even then tests on a number of weed products show really bad chemicals in a number of legit dispense products
so yea unless you are growing the shit yourself the industry is kinda the wild west still atm
but yea sig makers have been caught a number of times doing this shit too, they are just more regulated atm

When in Paris,
Run away.
J’ai trouvé le français !
reject modernity, embrace tradition
Asshole, don’t make me smell your shitty tobacco, Atleast vapes conceal the smell
Vapes create a gigantic cloud and it smells quite bad.
Both are bad, but vaping is just even more annoying.
Amen. Its also not just water vapor… If it was people Wouldn’t vape. A lot of people have issues with the garbage they put in vapes… But gigs are worse for me personally.
Cigs are worse objectively, when it comes to health
They don’t, you still stink but now of menthol or whatever other flavour you picked
Except that you aren’t required to use a flavor. I don’t use any flavor for many years and the only thing that could anyone others would be the cloud.
I don’t vape for fun, I vape for my nicotine addiction. The flavors made the switch easier but after the switch, I phased out the flavor. Now I don’t smell like an ashtray but you can see me from a distance and I visualize where my bad breath smell from my lunch and my germs are in the air.
i’m with you on the no flavor thing, I make my own vape juice and I use a box mod, shit’s completely inoffensive and nearly free
I would literally rather stick my nose in a dirty diaper than smell a cigarette. The flavour scents are such a huge improvement that I don’t have the words to properly express this.
I mean, I’d much rather smell of fruit custard than smoke.
Or just stop smoking?
Hey look it’s a person who’s never been addicted to anything
No, no… they’re onto something.
Ignoring the realities of addiction is what they’re onto
The reality is that it is hard to quit, but even addicts who haven’t even tried will tell you that. I think it should be encouraged.
It is, in fact, possible to quite smoking. I was a regular smoker for a decade. My fiancee asked me to quit, so I did. Haven’t had a cigarette or vape since. That was over a decade ago.
Yes, it’s difficult, and not everyone is able to quit as easily as I did. But don’t pretend like it’s impossible to quit.
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
How come this type of xenophobia is acceptable?
gestures broadly
wat
Anti-american is hot now… I mean it was before too but it is still right now also!
Nah, fuck all these other guys, he was right. 🤣
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.
Americans are lame, aren’t they?
not in this aspect, they have better attitude towards smoking than most of the world
I wouldn’t say that. In most of the world it is discouraged, but in the US they are zealots when it comes to smoking.
There is nothing criminal about smoking, and people should not be ostracized for it.
Fuck smokers! hahaha. Mmm lung cancer, sounds awesome
it should be criminal and people certainly should be ostracized for it. fuck smokers. I’d rather have heroin addicts in my vicinity.
Did a smoker fuck your wife, by any chance?
you’re the one cucking for smokers so I don’t know what you mean. but my wife doesn’t smell like shit all the time so I can safely say no.
smokers infringe on the rights of everyone around them. they can suck shit. hell, they’d probably stink less if they did.
I mean, I can hardly imagine someone unironically being that hostile to smokers. There must be some sort of trauma going on. If not your wife, then maybe someone else was fucked by a smoker.
It’s a serious public health concern. It affects everyone.
It affects everyone that smokes.
So, the health effects of smoking are born only by the smoker? There are no economic impacts on the general public? Not to mention second-hand smoke.
Having a healthier society benefits everyone. Having a large portion of the population engage in behaviors that hurt public health is harmful to everyone.
That isn’t to say it should be illegal necessarily, but it should be heavily discouraged. That includes by government policy.
yeah because the smoke carefully avoids nonsmokers.
In my experience it seeks out nonsmoker’s.
It doesn’t affect me to inhale the second-hand smoke of the asshole smoking at the table next to me? I think it does.
Because second-hand smoke doesn’t exist…
Funny considering tobacco is a solid American good
Not really. Im not sure the US even produces enough for themselves anymore.
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?

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but personally, I’ve run out of fucks to give about the whole debate. I have an opinion, sure, but I don’t want to throw it into the sewage pool that is the discussion in this comment section.
You been on the internet lately?
Every single thing is like this now. It’s always some “i’m right, the other guys are idiots!”
Before the Internet was popular there were decals being sold of Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes pissing on the logo for Ford or Chevy.
I’m sure dueling fandoms have been around longer than that, too.
Each new import batch from Reddit these days is lower quality :)
With barely an ounce of fact or dialogue. It’s from such a personal place. Weird and sad. I agree with another comment - this is mostly the internet now.
(American) clock is right twice a day…
Why are you here?
