I do feel like an alien walking around looking at so many people vaping. I cannot fathom the appeal at all.
Just imagine being addicted to nicotine but not wanting to die
Tracing it back then, I don't get the appeal of cigarettes either!
I wanna be just like him
Well those make you look cool, unlike vapes. 😌
Fair!
Almost everyone I know who vapes doesn't even vape nicotine. They're literally just inhaling flavor juice. They've never even smoked a cigarette or nicotine vape.
I haven't checked recently but I think your experience there doesn't align with the statistics. Although for these people obviously yeah, vaping is dumb
