Any action that doesn't look like you're idleing is going to be perceived more cool than just standing there like an NPC. That's why I bring my Switch to public gatherings so I can play some Mario Kart. It looks so cool.

I hit my vape on an airplane in a window seat and ghost hit it then blew it into my shirt and sweatshirt and the boomers sitting next to me didn't seem to even notice. A beta would hit the vape in the bathroom and try to blow it out the toilet while flushing and trigger the smoke detector and get arrested when they land.

I think because it's autism coded. Vapes are sleek, easy to smoke stealthily, and just use a liquid(it's kinda like how autists prefer plain and non-messy foods like wheat thins and chicken fingers). Whereas cigarettes look organic and you always stand out when doing it. Vaping is inherently antisocial whereas cigarette smoking is a more social experience where you share your lighter and smokes with others.

What's actually autism coded is overthinking this shit to such a ridiculous extent. Real smokers don't give a fuck if they're smoking a cigarette or vape, they just want that nicotine hit. They'll likely use both depending on the situation. Also you can share a vape with others too.

My girlfriend said I looked cool when I smoked cigarettes and I said she sounded stupid when she said that. She got quiet and didn't say anything else. I don't know why people think being addicted to something is cool. Do people think hitting a bong is cool? Taking a shot? It's just recreational activities for addicts. I don't think I'm cool for doing any of this.

They're called herbal cigarettes. Technically they can still carry carcinogens but it's still 99% less cancerous than regular cigarettes. Also candy cigarettes, they can release a powder when you blow into them.

When I'm alone, it goes well with booze, when I'm with people, I get to socialize with other smokers, literally no downside other than it's getting aggressively expensive, a 30g pouch is above 10€ nowadays. Same sòyllennials who made it into politics are trying to ban its consumption in front of bars and restaurants, fucking faggots don't realize 90% of bar clientele smoke and most if not all wagies do as well.
