    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

      Vaping can smell like watermelon, Fruit Loops, etc, but then it’s gone. Cigarettes stink up the surrounding area, seep indoors, when people do it at entrances, and it lingers. Plus the smoker themselves will have it clinging to them…

      Yeah it’s just a meme, people smoke waaay less in France today. Back in the nineties it was a whole other world.

      I mean, I hate it when I’m walking down a street and I get the stink of something sickly sweet wafting over

      I honestly put vapes in the same tier of “takes me out of the moment and ruins anything I’m enjoying then”

        It’s gone in a few seconds, unlike actual cigarette smoke

        I fuckin hate cigarette smoke, vape isn’t great but it’s also not nearly as long-lasting or staining or… Really at all as bad

          Yes, but it’s much more common for people to be walking around and just take a puff of their vape rather than start smoking a cigarette

          It absolutely ruins a nice breakfast out when somebody vapes walking past

      If you’re used to secondhand smoke they don’t smell bad, even good because of the slight nicotine buzz, and I assume everyone in that country is used to secondhand smoke.

      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.
