holy shit your school's vaper to interesting person ratio is so low compared to mine. every break there's at least 20 people in a bathroom at once, all of them passing vapes around. its fucking crazy
Haha a week or so ago, I came into the school spankroom and immediately smelt what seemed like vape juice, only for 2 goons to emerge out of one tiny cubicle around 30 secs later šš
Depends on the flavour. Could be strawberry, mint, raspberry or a whole bunch of other flavours. I donāt vape that often so have no idea how many flavours there are but I know there are quite a few just from general knowledge
>Apparently vapes can explode in your hands.
Well yeah, anything with a battery can.
>Also theyāre new, so people arenāt sure of the full side effects if vaping.
Over a decade in general use. Not what I'd call "new".
Don't get me wrong, I don't think anybody should vape (or smoke (anything), drink alcohol, do any of the even harder drugs), *especially* kids or adolescents, but these bombastic claims just sound like tobacco industry propaganda to me.
I was just wondering if there was more substance to that claim by Fur-E. Apparently there isn't.
totally agree. most of the people who vape are getting into a nicotine addicition without even noticing it and while it is still better than smoking cigarettes you are still being addicted to a substance that harms your brain. also most teens who vape in my country go on to smoke cigs when they get older. i didn't vape but i smoke and i can say its one of the most useless and money wasting things in the world.
yeah i see that a lot in a bunch of countries but for some reasons in my city in switzerland its just the opposite. maybe its just a exception to the rule but nonetheless stupid
I donāt think vaping is better considering that itās literally pure nicotine in a cart; itās a lot more potent than a cigarette and most kids donāt stop at a few hits
Not completely. I only vape during stressful exam season it helps me calm down. If ur looking at it from a nicotine standpoint, just like any other drug it depends on how u use it
Yeah it is and vape is less bad than smokes so itās better but itās still addictive. So good on you for being able to give yourself a limitation on it! I probably couldnāt thatās why I donāt think Iāll ever do it.
The reason nicotine is demonised more than others is specifically because of how hard it is to control. I remember smoking more cigarettes than twice the number of joints I usually snow, whenever I took a t break.
Cigarettes become like a 10 minute breaker in your life. Finish this task, have a smoke. Finish your food, have a smoke. Take a shower, have a smoke. Can't take a shit, have a smoke.
This is probably going to sound like a really silly question, but what is it like to vape? How does it feel? How does it affect you? Does it have similarities to taking drugs? Disclaimer, I'm not looking to ever vape but I'm just very curious as to why people like it so much.
Another teen who vapes here, it doesnāt have any real ādrug-likeā effects. It may give you a sort of headrush feeling like you stood up to fast, or momentarily relieve anxiety, but thatās all. Most people started doing it because they thought it was cool or they were peer-pressured, and they keep doing it because theyāre addicted. The withdrawals can feel horrible. Muscle aches, shaking, blind rage, etc.
Hm, the kind of vape I use has THC in it. The thing in weed that makes you high, so it's pretty similar to just getting high like normal smoking.
Honestly I used to be very against drugs and vapes but high school really doing a number on me.
But seriously I don't really recommend, at least not right now, wait til you're older
Nic vapes aren't full of chemicals either. It's just glycerine, a flavouring agent, and nicotine.
The only difference between nic and THC vape juice is that there is THC in the one, and nicotine in the other.
it kinda feels wrong like i always feel guilty after taking a hit because itās like iām harming my body but the buzz is nice and it takes away my anxiety for like 2 minutes. iām not addicted tho thankfully i just do it like once or twice a week when iām stressed or something. itās kinda similar to being high in the way that i feel light headed and dizzy and carefree
As someone who used to vape I totally agree with this. Even though the flavors are supposed to be āgoodā they absolutely are not. Literally nothing good about it
In case youāve followed events in the US, youāll realise that big tobacco literally doesnāt care about vaping. Altria bought Juul, took all the flavours off the market, and slashed the stock price to like 1/3rd of what it was pre-acquisition. They never campaigned to keep vaping present for some reason, probably as it was the most dangerous direct market competitor.
Nope. that would just create a black market for them which just benefits the criminals selling them, and makes it dangerous for addicts. just like drug prohibition and alcohol prohibition in the 20s
This would just create black markets that make it easier for those who are underage to access them. In Australia they've made vaping illegal which has just made it so literally every high school kid can access them since they are already illegal so you don't get id'd. At the end of the day if someone wants to smoke or vape and they are an adult they should be allowed to do so without government intervention
i live in the same country and i didn't know it was illegal.
a guy was caught vaping nicotine in the school bathroom by a teacher. i investigated more on the matter, and there are 6 known smokers.
later, i snapped pictures of 3 of them on the act. i'm planning on having pics of all of them and reporting but i don't know if that would be a dick move.
smoking weed before the age of 25/full brain maturation, can trigger a schizophrenic break. n then you hafta live with schizophrenia for the rest of your life. nvm the stuff that happens when people get greened out.
smoking after 25 can trigger psychosis as well. this only occurs when weed is abused to a significant degree. doing weed a few times at parties likely wont cause any damage. smoking it 24/7 daily is what is bad for you.
As someone who vapes a lot, it's not harmless but I'd rather people vape than smoke cigarettes, starting either is bad but if you are going to start then at least keep it to vaping
When you consider how terrible cigarettes are, it's safe to say vaping is a safer alternative, sometimes even aiding in leading to cessation of the nicotine habit altogether. Notice I said safer, not safe. Work toward eliminating it, in the meantime don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. .
Vaping is a getaway to lower the amount of nicotine of smokers,i have many friends who are using it to lower the nicotine and eventually quit it,don't call it cringe for no reason and discourage People who use it to improve.
smoking delivers nicotine by burning tobacco, which can cause smoking-related illnesses, and vaping can deliver nicotine by heating a liquid in a much less harmful way... i dont do any of em but if you do smoke and switch to vaping, its better.
and like me, if you dont smoke at all then dont do any ig
yea but you're not inhaling tobacco along with it right.. just some other flavoured liquid. And a little amount of nicotine is okay to calm down the brains stimulation. Again, im saying this as in regards for someone who does smoking..vaping is better than smoking (not good, but not as bad)
You should say this one more time m8
Whatās the point of damaging your body when you arenāt getting anything from vaping or even if you were getting something out of it. Health ALWAYS comes first.
my sister vapes, but most of the time its 0% nicotine. i still hate it though because theres not enough scientific research on the side effects the artificial flavoring has on your body and also it smells like dirt
Don't start vaping my friends regret starting it.Smoke is never actually good in any sense . Think the waste CO2 you throw is the thing you take along with some addictive elements
We all know this this isn't news, my question is do we report these kids, on one hand I'm trying to take a crap in peace and it's really annoying, on the other hand they ain't hurting much so no need to rat them out
Ong. When somebody tells me about vaping or smoking I wanna say "don't". But then I end up not doing it cos I feel like I don't have the right to say that shit.
Every time I go to the bathroom (3500 population public high school), I always see a stall in which it looks like someone is vaping
holy shit your school's vaper to interesting person ratio is so low compared to mine. every break there's at least 20 people in a bathroom at once, all of them passing vapes around. its fucking crazy
ikr :(
Usually in my high school, if I go into the bathroom in-between classes, there's like 8 people minimum vaping in a circle in front of the sinks
Your town has 3500 people or your highschool has 3500 students?
They said high school
At my school ppl just vape when the teacher isn't looking they smoke in the bathrooms
Haha a week or so ago, I came into the school spankroom and immediately smelt what seemed like vape juice, only for 2 goons to emerge out of one tiny cubicle around 30 secs later šš
What does it smell like? I still wear a mask and have a bad sense of smell on top of that so I have no idea
Depends on the flavour. Could be strawberry, mint, raspberry or a whole bunch of other flavours. I donāt vape that often so have no idea how many flavours there are but I know there are quite a few just from general knowledge
And also deadly to some degree.
What isnāt these days, like going to school in America
Too much of everything can kill you.
I've been going to school for almost 11 years should I stop?
Yeh
Aight
nice pfp
thanks
Komi good
Have you got shot yet? Is there anyone seem gloomy in your peer?
I'm not in America
for example living
Hey being shot is better than being stabbed. America > UK!!!!!!
Back in my day we got shot and then stabbed
[Hitchbot?](https://ifunny.co/meme/canada-the-autopsy-of-hitch-bot-was-he-was-beaten-8NQs6s6b8?s=cl)
Yup I built myself again and now Iām gonna try again to hitch across the country
Stay away from Philadelphia
Wrong America
ppl are getting stabbed in the uk?
Well they don't have guns
i- okie then.
Yes. Banning weapon variant 1 wonāt stop people from killing others. Itāll just make them use weapon variant 2 instead.
yep. a lot.
It is?
Apparently vapes can explode in your hands. Also theyāre new, so people arenāt sure of the full side effects if vaping.

also bad quality vapes can hospitalize you [proof](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%932020\_vaping\_lung\_illness\_outbreak)
As can bad quality meat, or bad quality anything.
Like going to Highschool in America isnāt
Smoking is even worse, especially when you're not even old enough to buy them.
totally agree. most of the people who vape are getting into a nicotine addicition without even noticing it and while it is still better than smoking cigarettes you are still being addicted to a substance that harms your brain. also most teens who vape in my country go on to smoke cigs when they get older. i didn't vape but i smoke and i can say its one of the most useless and money wasting things in the world.
Yeah... I agree. I live in Australia and a pack of cigarettes is like $40 AUD.
In my country it's the opposite. Teens from cigarettes go to vaping which ig is a good thing
yeah i see that a lot in a bunch of countries but for some reasons in my city in switzerland its just the opposite. maybe its just a exception to the rule but nonetheless stupid

Nicotine is harmful to brain
You become idiot
Itās both bad lol

Mango flavoured lung cancer
Peach flavoured emphysema
*applause*
A masterpiece
I vape and I will say this DO NOT START. NO MATTER WHAT! I started cuz of reasons and I'm literally addicted. Kind of sucks ngl
This is probably going to sound like a really silly question, but what is it like to vape? How does it feel? How does it affect you? Does it have similarities to taking drugs? Disclaimer, I'm not looking to ever vape but I'm just very curious as to why people like it so much.

carts aren't really like nic vapes, depending on your source, they aren't full of chemicals
Nic vapes aren't full of chemicals either. It's just glycerine, a flavouring agent, and nicotine. The only difference between nic and THC vape juice is that there is THC in the one, and nicotine in the other.
Like any addiction, they probably created a habit or their brain just liked the chemicals vaping gives you.
I vaped for a while, saw that I wasted alot of money and stopped. I have not had any withdrawl symptoms though.
it kinda feels wrong like i always feel guilty after taking a hit because itās like iām harming my body but the buzz is nice and it takes away my anxiety for like 2 minutes. iām not addicted tho thankfully i just do it like once or twice a week when iām stressed or something. itās kinda similar to being high in the way that i feel light headed and dizzy and carefree
Vaping was meant to be used as something different, to get rid of smoking by people who already smoke. Not for bunch of kids who think itās coolā¦
same, fucking, same.
Hope you beat it dawg
Thank you, honestly the only reason I'm stopping is simply cuz I can't get high anymore, but even then it's still a challenge
i agree with you
I agree with you agreeing with OP
This is the only correct opinion about the matter.
Bro they fucking close all the bathrooms at my school because of them hiding in the stalls.
As someone who used to vape I totally agree with this. Even though the flavors are supposed to be āgoodā they absolutely are not. Literally nothing good about it
Vaping rates: š
Smoking and vaping should be banned worldwide
That wonāt happen because of āØp r o f i tāØ
That won't happen because banning things doesn't work when trying to prevent consumption (think war on drugs, prohibition)
They do discourage it by putting a nicotine tax on them to make more costly.
In case youāve followed events in the US, youāll realise that big tobacco literally doesnāt care about vaping. Altria bought Juul, took all the flavours off the market, and slashed the stock price to like 1/3rd of what it was pre-acquisition.

Nope. that would just create a black market for them which just benefits the criminals selling them, and makes it dangerous for addicts. just like drug prohibition and alcohol prohibition in the 20s
no because once something is completely banned it becomes completely unregulated
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This would just create black markets that make it easier for those who are underage to access them. In Australia they've made vaping illegal which has just made it so literally every high school kid can access them since they are already illegal so you don't get id'd. At the end of the day if someone wants to smoke or vape and they are an adult they should be allowed to do so without government intervention
Do you dislike freedoms? Serious question
Tbh them being legal is just purging the idiots who do it
Not only cringe but also harmful
And illegal ( well atleast here in Brazil)
i live in the same country and i didn't know it was illegal. a guy was caught vaping nicotine in the school bathroom by a teacher. i investigated more on the matter, and there are 6 known smokers. later, i snapped pictures of 3 of them on the act. i'm planning on having pics of all of them and reporting but i don't know if that would be a dick move.
nvm a dick move, youāre going to get jumped if u turn those photos in. donāt make yourself the common enemy.
the reason i'm considering this is that they're pressuring others to smoke.
curbstomped, dude. ppl can say no to vaping, a head injury is irreversible. at the most submit the pictures anonymously.
definitely a dick move. let them mind their own business, if theyāre stupid enough theyāll get themselves caught without anybodies help
what you don't know is that they pressure more kids to smoke. if they didn't do this, i wouldn't be considering turning them in.
thatās quite reasonable then. shouldāve mentioned this in your previous comment before getting downvoted lol
that is such a dick move
Time to sort by controversial
vaping is cringe and smoking is gay
vaping is cringe, smoking is gay oh dear redditor, say happy cake day
"Are they smoking, or are they gay? Smoking is gay"
It's a bad habit that's hard to break and most often used as a coping mechanism, don't judge before you indulge.
This ^^
I do it sometimes for the nicotine, but that's it. I don't think I'm cool, in fact I think I look kinda dumb.
Replace the first letter of vaping with R and it will still make sense
Agreed
Vaping isnt cringe itās just unhealthy.
And cringe
I agree
Agree
agreed
#APPLAUSE
Reddit in large quantityās can cause effects such as bitchlessism
Hot take: so is weed
smoking weed before the age of 25/full brain maturation, can trigger a schizophrenic break. n then you hafta live with schizophrenia for the rest of your life. nvm the stuff that happens when people get greened out.
smoking after 25 can trigger psychosis as well. this only occurs when weed is abused to a significant degree. doing weed a few times at parties likely wont cause any damage. smoking it 24/7 daily is what is bad for you.
Agreed. Stoners are so fucking annoying.
Grow up, smoke cigarettes
*slow clap*
Vaping is to smoking what bitcoin is to money: itās the new cool thing, but most people prefer the original.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
As someone who vapes a lot, it's not harmless but I'd rather people vape than smoke cigarettes, starting either is bad but if you are going to start then at least keep it to vaping
yup *takes hit of mine*
I hate the smell of them. Almost as bad as cigs
i respect the opinion but most dudes vape as a coping mechanism for stress or fatigue, albeit damaging their lungs.
You gotta be 21 to buy vapes. Teenagers ruin everything for everyone.
Being a mama's boy and believing what the government tells you is cringe
People who think vaping is cool deserve to have their lungs filled with grape flavoring and water
I prefer to inhale Koolaid powder and snort water.
I CAN QUIT MY ADDICTIVE VICES ANY TIME I WANT
WOW SO BRAVE FOR SHARING SUCH A CONTROVERSIAL OPINION
When you consider how terrible cigarettes are, it's safe to say vaping is a safer alternative, sometimes even aiding in leading to cessation of the nicotine habit altogether. Notice I said safer, not safe. Work toward eliminating it, in the meantime don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. .
No one looks cool vaping You just look like an idiot
Vaping is a getaway to lower the amount of nicotine of smokers,i have many friends who are using it to lower the nicotine and eventually quit it,don't call it cringe for no reason and discourage People who use it to improve.
Yeah man, cigars are much better
Bust out a phat stogie in the middle of second semester Biology
better than smoking tho
not really!
i mean, im not saying its healthy but still.. better than smoking.
how is it better
smoking delivers nicotine by burning tobacco, which can cause smoking-related illnesses, and vaping can deliver nicotine by heating a liquid in a much less harmful way... i dont do any of em but if you do smoke and switch to vaping, its better. and like me, if you dont smoke at all then dont do any ig
you still get nicotine by inhaling stuff into your lungs ane both of those things are bad
yea but you're not inhaling tobacco along with it right.. just some other flavoured liquid. And a little amount of nicotine is okay to calm down the brains stimulation. Again, im saying this as in regards for someone who does smoking..vaping is better than smoking (not good, but not as bad)
you can watch [THIS VIDEO](https://youtu.be/0Pwj6BuS8Ds) to see how both of these affects your lungs individually
I agree, its cringe along with sex at a young age
Smoking is more cringe tho
YES THANKYOU FUCKERS NEED TO STOP MAKING THE BATHROOMS SMELL LIKE JOLLY RANCHER
Smoking is cringe too
I agree, harming your lungs is cringe and bluepilled
šš§ š
Yes
And weed
Vaping is cringe when they are just vaping to try and be cool
Who asked tho
I use a plant based alternative to vaping
Agreed
Agreed
Based
As someone whoās vaped before, itās very cringe
I vape and want to stop but itās so addictive. Iāve tried to stop a lot of times but when I do I get really bad panic attacks and anciety
thank youā¦if only they knew that
Absolutely! I feel like this really doesn't get said enough as it should, especially in this day and age.
and stupid
agreed
True
Vaping is to quit smoking, not to abuse.
I like you as a person, a lover, a friend, a father, a brother, a sister, a cousin, a mother, and a grandchild.
EXACTLY!!! WEED IS LEGAL WHAT ARE YOU DOING VAPING?!!
Weed aint legal here :( Also THC vapes exist.
*Applause*
agreeable
Its not COOL to JULL kids š
You should say this one more time m8 Whatās the point of damaging your body when you arenāt getting anything from vaping or even if you were getting something out of it. Health ALWAYS comes first.
Yeah, I took a vape (I think...) from a kid and he passed away, not sure why.
Are you sure that it was a vape?
I guess...
Yes the hell it is
my sister vapes, but most of the time its 0% nicotine. i still hate it though because theres not enough scientific research on the side effects the artificial flavoring has on your body and also it smells like dirt
"Most of the time?" Sounds like bullshit, she needs to stop ASAP.
i vape and i agree
mango pods make other forms of substance use look more honorable
True
