Better than what?
Smoking cigarettes. Sorry, I thought that was obvious.
I asked to clarify, because that's verifiably incorrect.
To a long-term smoker maybe, but to new smokers (judging by the "vapelife" quote), it is absolutely correct. Read my edit above.
Let's just ignore the actual studies saying otherwise. Sorry not American ones, conflict of interest, tobacco is one of its last money makers that isn't slaughtering people and taking their shit.
My favorite part of this is that no one really asked you to come out and start judging other people's vices.
Not judging. You do you, but how you perceive reality doesn't really factor into actual facts.
I get it, but the community is called Funny, not VapingIsGreatForYou. It sorta changes the context of the original comment drastically. Not to mention Vapenation was an old meme that essentially made fun of vapers. I understand you're trying to help people, but this might be the wrong place for that.
I have a sardonic view of life, so it is what it is. You could just downvote me, maybe even block me, and move on with your life. Just sayin'.
Have an upvote instead.
Fine, I'll downvote myself. :P
Why is it not better than smoking?
Read my edit.
Your edit only said that it IS better than smoking, so how does your original comment supposed to make sense?
