From the point of view of someone who doesn't smoke Vaping is a hellova lot better than normal smoking for non smokers, I'd rather a cloud of the fruity smelling stuff to the rank smell of cigarettes. I really don't understand why people smoke cigarettes. Well I do understand that it's an addiction but you know what I mean.

Cigarettes make you look cool, that's just how it is. Vaping makes you look ******ed. Can you imagine Humphrey Bogart vaping ffs?

Don't blame me btw, I don't make the rules.

Yeah good cigars also smell great, I can see me having a smart wooden box full of them next to the pipe and rum. Something to look forward to. :grin:

You need a quality silver cigar end clipper and old skool petrol lighter to complete the look, together with swapping the rum for a top end single malt, swirling round a heavy crystal tumbler bruv.

Vaping is proper chav territory. It's almost like it was designed with trackie wearing absent fathers in mind.

Chavy Chic

As much as i detest vaping, I certainly would not regard it as chav. If you go to Italy you will see the Vape shops situated in the same location as expensive designer stores. I've also noticed a growing trend within the UK to take them more upmarket. I feel vaping has more of a marketing value if it is regarded as trendy (for want of better words) - if you allow it to be branded as chavy, it will eventually destroy the brand.

I think I would probably be ok with vaping if users learned to turn the things down, it just seems they invade the space with their plume clouds that was deemed as unacceptable for cigarette smokers, are we really going to leave it another 50 years before once again something is found to be harmful in the substances, in much the same way doctors used to promote cigarette brands. Reality is humans are inhaling smoke/vape call it whatever you like, I can't think of any substance a human inhales other than fresh air, that has ever been good for them!

Last point first : Anything that you inhale other than fresh air isn't good for your lungs. And although it's vapourising rather than burning which is far more carcinogenic, inhaling a chemical compound can't be good for you. That said, it's probably more unhealthy to walk down a street with cars going by than it is to Vape.

For the aesthetic : Nope, it just ain't ever gonna look cool, no matter how much marketing gloss it's given. You're sucking on something that looks like a cross between an inhaler and a vibrator.

I said this which you quoted 'Reality is humans are inhaling smoke/vape call it whatever you like, I can't think of any substance a human inhales other than fresh air, that has ever been good for them!'

Have you turned into a parrot bro?
