That's fine, I used Nicotine lozenges for this reason, Its the people that keep vaping and get 'rigs' I have an issue with, its like people who drink 2L of coke 0 everyday and think its healthy 'cause it has 0 calories

It's like everyone's body reacts differently to these things and having it as an option shouldn't be shit on because some people are obnoxious about it. Lozenges worked for you, thats awesome, but they don't work for everyone.

I have a "rig" (sidenote, nobody fucking calls it a rig) and it helps me keep off of cigarettes and I don't feel cravings nearly as much as I used to, but I'm also not a neckbeard/douchebro that tries to vape inside or in peoples faces. Some people legitimately enjoy vaping, just as they legitimately enjoy smoking. All of the data we have so far shows at the very least that it isn't worse, but a lot of the studies out there are using poor methodology/are connected to big tobacco in some way. Some of the studies out there (the ones that like to talk about formaldehyde in ecigs) are using old equipment and are constantly dry burning the coils, which noone does because it tastes like hot death. The few studies that have actually tried studying what people are exposed to when they're doing it indicate that it is definitely less harmful than smoking.

There are SOOOOOOOOO many idiots that vape, it attracts people who have literally no capacity to think for themselves so they listen to "influencers" and bullshit broscience that people spout and accept it as fact. This is where the stigma comes from, because these are the people walking around with pipebombs they don't understand trying to chuck mad cloudz bro.

Jeff's regular go to point to mock is "gonna raise the voltage on this bitch to rip even fatter clouds bro" type of people.

And the "why can't I smoke inside man its just vapor man its water it should be cool why are you such a fuckin lame" type of folk

your defense of smokers trying to quit is not needed because that's not their "target"

Yeah this seems obvious because this is the type of attitude they as a whole tend to poke fun at in just about every spectrum (like the E3 merch and anytime they talk about the internet )

I imagine being sick in that environment must fucking suck. I hope he feels better. I also don't know what you're on about?
 
I just looked up the dabbing thing because I was so confused about how shoving your nose into your elbow was supposed to be a technique for inhaling THC or whatever

And its...not? Its just a motion that the nickname stuck to? Where does the weed come in?

The weed thing is something completely different. You dab weed oils/resin in a bong of sorts.

Dabbing (dance move or whatever you want to call it) was last years biggest thing amongst millennials.

So, you're saying Dave Lang is a millennial.

I've been under the impression that it was like a new way to get high, like you had a stamp of THC extract and you put it inside your elbow and snorted it

What the fuck is this dance thing

In the weed vernacular, dabbing is the act of smoking a concentrated wax-like form of cannabis.

Dabbing is also a dance. They're not related.

Nah dude, same old thing. Only difference is that you are inhaling weed resins/extracts (which are waaaaay more potent then normal weed). It's kinda like vaping, but for weed.

Dance thing came from the atlanta hip hop scene, Migos being the biggest users/innovators of the move:

"Yeah, fuck those guys trying to quit smoking cigarettes!" is all I hear when people shit on vaping because the vast majority of people who do vape are doing it for precisely that reason. Big Tobacco must love Giant Bomb.

I know about 20 people that vape, none of them smoked before.
 
tons of people vape just to vape. i have no problem with people using vaping as a stepping stone in the process of quitting smoking, but as a young person myself, i can tell you for a fact that there are tons of young people who vape simply because they think it's cool.
