The other major problem with it is that as long as you're not in the eyeline of someone you shouldn't be doing it in front of you can genuinely do it anywhere and even the smell dissipates so quickly. It's probably much better for you than smoking but the levels of nicotine people are ingesting must have increased tenfold and I'm not sure we know what that does to people over the longer term.
I quit smoking 10 years ago. It took will power for about 3 days and that's that. Anyone complicating it with patches, gum or vapes just needs to grow a pair. Just stop smoking, it's not that hard.

I hate walking into clouds of blueberry bubblegum or whatever flavours they're vaping. Adults shouldn't be stooping to that level.
Not so much vaping, but God I love the smell of someone smoking.
I don't see how they're any different than all the odd flavours of beer or cocktails or any of the wanker variants of tea and coffee, I don't want any of them but I'm not about to advocate for getting rid of them. Insisting on only boring types of a thing seems like the action of some miserable puritan.
I imagine part of that is the law around animals being relatively lax, they're essentially property aren't they?
Unfortunately I don't believe in hell so I'll just have to hope some convict throws a sugar kettle over a different extremity of his every day for the rest of his miserable life.
Post it up for the non-Reddit nerds.
Honestly, it's soul destroying stuff, don't seek it out.
Deeply fucked up shit.

I saw that, but I would sooner die than get a Reddit account, so I suppose I'll swerve it.
I don't have a reddit account, are you saying you need one to read it?
It gives me the option of claiming to be under eighteen or to log in.
Ah, I get that on mobile but not on my laptop.
It's addicting children in droves. I wouldn't be surprised if schools in some areas were up at 50% of kids of a certain age vaping, which is far more than used to smoke cigarettes when I was at school. And as Yev noted, we don't have a clue what ingesting insane amounts of this stuff does to you. I know grown adults who can barely go two minutes without toking on their vape, because it's so convenient probably. Take away the flavour, take away the appeal. It was created to be a cessation tool but that jumped the shark long ago already.
Yeah this is very true, my mum is pretty bright, but she has absolutely no critical thinking when it comes to judging the reliability of different sources of information online (a problem a lot of older people have, I think). I think it's partly that they were brought up in an era where...well, newspapers and telly have always put out biased rubbish, but there's at least some checks and balances with them. I think a lot of them can't process the fact that any idiot can go online and post any old shite (just see my posts on here!!), even on their own actual website.
Luckily she only reads about gardening and cookery appliances, so the only rabbit holes she's gone down are slightly bizarre flower cultivation techniques and using the air fryer for absolutely everything, rather than Jamie's 15 minute cities.
Which is also why they all get done by online scams. There's a woman at work c.60yo who is genuinely clever but has been robbed about 5 times because she can't tell a scam email from a genuine one.
It was not the greatest day when my 74 year old stepdad asked for my help because he realised he had been scammed trying to buy 'the old dick pills' online
Wish I hadn't read that 🤮
There was some stuff the other day about how Gen Z kids are even worse than them at falling for scams. I'm really curious what it is that has failed in their "all internet all the time" upbringing that could be the cause for that.
TikTok makes them gullible as shit.
Get some loud obnoxious twat spouting crap and they'll believe it.
Just look at how many of the little shits think Andrew Tate is some sort of God.
Aye, the influencer effect. They put way too much trust in single grifters instead of gathering a range of opinions.
For all the shit millennials get, I do think we're by and large the generation best equipped to deal with modern society. There was a story in Sweden recently on how many teens can't even type well on keyboards anymore, and instead look more like some 65 year old doing it because they had touchscreens in their hands from age 4.
I sent my six year old to Computing Club yesterday. Asked her what she got up - played on tablets.
I'm a twit
I think predating the earnest 'woke' era helps us a lot. Healthy cynicism.
Makes some sort of sense. Touchscreens are real easy for kids to wrap their head around. I still can't remember what age I learned to touch type. I think it just came naturally after a year or so in the office.I sent my six year old to Computing Club yesterday. Asked her what she got up - played on tablets.
Ridiculously so. My 1 year old gets a bit of "TV" time before the bath, a couple of episodes of whatever. We put it on the wife's iPad because we don't have a TV upstairs and even at 1 year old, she knows to touch the "Next Episode" button when the credits are rolling.
Yeah, my nephew would casually decline any and all phone calls if he was watching something, at around the same age.

Police think they've cracked who killed Tupac.
lol at it just being some stupid black people shit, shooting somebody over a minor altercation, rather than some big conspiracy.
Meanwhile Biggie's remains unsolved.
Bus crash driver.
Why use that as the photo? He looks genuinely battered.

Shots heard and multiple fires reported in a shopping mall in Bangkok....
This could get tasty.
China is often bullying ships and crashing into them in this area of the sea, however, on this occasion the Filipino ship sank and 3 died.
20302035 is going to be fun.
"Mr Morrison initially called his wife in a panic to ask her to warn vehicles ahead of him that he could not stop his car."
ffs
Electric cars are basically computers on wheels - I'm surprised that sort of stuff doesn't happen more often.
Most new regular cars don't have a physical throttle cable. They are operated electronically. Haven't heard of any issues.
Plenty of Tesla fuckups on Twitter.

What an unstoppable retard.The Old Bailey heard he was spurred on by his artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot "girlfriend" Sarai and inspired by storylines from Star Wars.
An AI Girlfriend? Hmmmm, interesting.
Even "she" would probably reject me though.
5000 messages to Clippy.
Controlled by a sex bot that couldn't even deliver the goods, tragic.
I've heard worse aimed at me.
Yer man could probably have done with a WhatsApp group of stalkers though.
Wiilst I was to this point largely unaware of the bedbug epidemic dans La France, apologies M. Beaune,
I'm glad it has been brought to my attention for this little factlet:Transport Minister Clément Beaune said on Wednesday that of nearly 50 reported sightings of bedbugs on metro and SNCF trains, not one had been verified.
"I wouldn't like to see a kind of French-bashing take hold… as it does sometimes in Anglo-Saxon countries," he said.
"The problem needs to be taken very seriously. No denial. And no hysteria."
There must be some Joe Lycett/Suella Braverman crossover content there.According to scientists, bedbugs are one of the few species to practice "traumatic insemination". With his barbed needle of a penis, the male bedbug can pierce the female at any point of her body.
His sperm then makes its way via the bloodstream to her reproductive organ. Over the millennia, females have actually developed a dent in their abdomen to encourage males to pierce them at that spot.
Male bedbugs also display homosexual behaviour, and even try to inseminate other species.

Mr Plumb, who was wearing a green T-shirt with the slogan "Aged to Perfection", was remanded in custody to appear for a plea hearing at Chelmsford Crown Court on 3 November.
That's a rotten hairline for 27. Also, he's not kidnapping anyone.
