I wonder about the culture around vaping. From my observations, pretty much everyone I see doing it is young and from appearances seem to be counter-culture. Doesn't mean they're bad people, but if they're the only one doing it, it doesn't make it mainstream.
- M_Grey 10y agoIt also leads to the vape being classed in the same breath as "neckbeard" and "fedora"... which is unfortunate as hell for people just trying to quit cigarettes. The problem is, the person who quietly vapes out of sight and mind doesn't make an impression. The guy with a fedora and a neckbeard who's blowing huges clouds of vapor in a public space makes a lasting and terrible impression. At the end of the day though, if you're a smoker, the choice is pretty straightforward, and you should use a "vape". You should however, be considerate of others, and unfortunately also accept that for a while you're going to be lumped in with the more anti-social element of society.
- ryuker16 10y agoToo be fair, smoking is already counter culture in the USA. I'd imagine alot of reasons you don't see more vaping is age. Younger folks don't care as much(and smoke less in general) but some dude smoking malboro at 50 is far less likely to roll up with an ecig at a casual BBQ. Its a hard enough battle getting old people using email... Let alone vaping.
