It depends on policymakers’ goals. If they want their citizens to look cool, then this is not only justified but necessary.
Imagine the coolest-looking person you know, vaping. You are now no longer imagining a cool-looking person.
@maxleibman then imagine that same person with a cigarette and realize you sound stupid for critisizing someone using a less nasty alternative.
@BeAware You said it yourself: *less* nasty.
Not clean. Not safe. Not pleasant to be around. Not cool looking. Just less of each of those than smoking.
A smoker who switches to vaping is, on balance, a good thing. I wouldn’t celebrate anybody settling on it permanently, though, any more than I would celebrate them switching to a “lighter” tobacco product. And a non-smoker picking up vaping isn’t something to be celebrated at all.
And you do look fucking ridiculous when you do it.
@maxleibman I'd also like to think that I don't care what other people do that literally does not effect me whatsoever.
Don't like it? Don't do it.
It doesn't effect you unlike second hand cigarette smoke.
@BeAware “Doesn’t affect me whatsoever” is personal taste (and bullshit). Dramatically less health risk to bystanders but it can still be unpleasant to be around. Less so than tobacco smoke, but enough that only an asshole would even wonder if they can vape somewhere they couldn’t smoke.
@BeAware @maxleibman tell that to the people who set insurance premiums. We all deal with that shit.
