I know I saw smokers when I was a kid, carrying what I called Cigarette Bags under their eyes. I still think of smokers as stupid and Public Smokers as rotten, uncaring people. I have become a summer fan of the nostalgia channels and smoking is in a lot of episodes of different shows. My Mom and Dad smoked and I have wondered if that affected my health now, especially running abilities. I was never "track team good" in any distance over 400 yards.
It is comical when you see a vapor smoker outside a business or in a car, releasing a tremendous amount of smoke. It must be like trading taste for "a safer drug hit" but you are still an addict. Just wait until medical studies show the ill effects of vapor smoking. I wonder if someone vaping, starting in high school, will get those smoker bags under their eyes?
Had to google as I wasn't sure whether you were truly just making-up this term "Cigarette Bags" as I'd never heard it before nor do I think of "under-eye aesthetics" as a chief visual indication of a smoker (and this concept that Public Smokers - unsure why you capitalized those words there...-are "rotten, uncaring people" is just silly, smoking "in public" can be a rotten, uncaring act - it could also be a no-harm action, depending on the context.....not as black&white as you're trying to make it)
Anyways, is that post some rhetorical style that's flying over my head or are you serious? The vaporizing-nicotine devices are incredibly likely to have a non-zero impact on health and frankly I don't think I've ever met someone who argued against that, but for you to talk about how "comical" it is that people are addicted is just cold, am trying to re-read it in a way that doesn't make you seem like you're mocking people for self-harming, addictive tendencies that they're trying to work against (if they're using a vaporizer instead of smoking cigarettes)
And just FYI there's no 'smoke' when someone's vaporizing, they're...ahem...vaporizing, not combusting('smoking'), their drug- saying you "see a vapor smoker" is, to use Rand's words, "is a contradiction-in-terms"
Why did Ayn Rand quit smoking?
