Vaping vs Smoking

An interesting discussion going on today over at mybroadband:

https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/threads/should-vaping-be-treated-as-smoking.1107922/

Here at ecigssa, it's informed rational discussion (ie: this thread). It's not quite the same with the general populace.

Sadly I fear it will remain so.

Here is honorary master Craig's comment from mybroadband: "Vaping is worse than smoking, at least with smokers the cloud of smoke is smaller, vaping makes these massive clouds that you can't as easily avoid."

If a facepalm was a comment.

Yeah, MyBB has become an acid, keyboard warrior, snowflake infested pile of poo! There are some tech and related threads that are still decent, but are few and far between.

Yes but our clouds smell like Raspberry Jolly jammers, Unicorn Frappe and Fresh mango from a tropical island.
If he walks through a vapers cloud he should be filled with nostalgia and a sense of Hope.
If he walks through a cigarette cloud then he should be filled with Resentment and a nose full of nasty.

The choice is yours CRAIG

After being a member there for 13 years (same username as here BTW!) I tend to agree.
It still has some worth though, if you learn to ignore the trolls and their poo, and the pre-pubescents with their nonsense.
I have A LOT of Mybroadband members on my "ignore" list! That filters out most of the "noise".
 
Yes agree with most of what was said.

The question remain, if people use the argument that if flavours or vaping gets banned, then vapers will go back to cigarettes. Is it an acknowledgement that they never quit smoking and are still addicted? Surely if you claim you stopped smoking, then you should be able to use nothing if you cant vape anymore?
Rubbish, it means they are still addicted to nicotine not smoking but fear that smoking will become how they satisfy their nicotine craving if vaping is banned. Smoking is just a vehicle to get a nicotine fix so to say for example if someone has vaped exclusively for 8 years hasn't quit smoking is ridiculous even if they go back to smoking if vaping was banned.

Surely if you claim you stopped smoking, then you should be able to use nothing if you cant vape anymore?
I have stopped smoking for 8 and half years not a claim but a fact but i am still addicted to nicotine!

Sounds no different to Reddit, what a toxic place, never witnessed such a high percentage of knobheads in one place before!

LOL yes. Real knobheads only like discussions with likeminded people where nobody will call out their BS. Like a religious person telling everyone their "facts" from a religious website or an atheist with all his facts only from an atheist website. That's a real way to grow your knowledge, with no counter arguments to find the real truth.

I can show you just as many foolish "statements" made on that Mybroadband thread by vapers that is also knobheads and don't know what they talking about, same as on this forum.
 
Smoking kills and vaping is far safer in my view
Long live vaping

I wish all smokers would quit and if they can’t they should give vaping a try

Lol, i have been watching that series on Netflix, really enjoying it!
 
Smokers have 3 things to complain about....
- The price of stinkies
- Non Smokers
- Vapers

Vapers on the other hand have way more:
- Smokers
- Stinkies
- Coils
- Cotton
- Juice
- Mods
- Tanks
- RDA's
- RTA's
- RDTA's
- Squonkers
- Mechs
- Regulated
- Pods
- AIO
- MTL
- DL
- Driptips
- Single or Dual

The only difference is that Vapers don't make a fuss out of everything and complain about everything, we make a plan, we figure it out, we ask for help, we support each other... Smokers on the other hand have nothing else to do with their time other than worrying where and when they will get their next fix and who to blame if they can't have it...

As an ex-smoker (like the majority of us on here) can relate: remember when you had to fly a short trip from DBN to JHB and could not smoke and had to chainsmoke to prepare for or catch up on 45minutes of flying, but when you drive in the car with your kids you can go for hours without a smoke stop. Or when you run out of smokes and can't get to the shop quick enough and start opening the pack before the cashier has counted your change yet.

Now you can fill your tank, sit back and relax, spare batteries on charge, pack of cotton in the drawer and settle in for the long haul, stopping after a 45minute flight it is a pleasure clicking that button 5 times and taking that first puff, 2 to 3 puffs later you are satisfied and can move right on again. Vaping set us free to have more time for ourselves and enjoy it in our stride, nothing holding us back anymore.
