Ive been a cigarrette and pipe smoker for a few years, and recently started smoking an e-cigarette and e-pipe too. Im of course for the right to smoke but i dont really mind the warning labels on tobacco. I also support public areas and businesses rights to limit tobacco on their ground. My school for example has banned tobacco on all places except a large smoking area where us smokers can go out and have our tobacco.

I used to smoke Cigarettes, but I gave that up years ago. I like Cigars but I haven't had one since my Bachelor party.

The only tobacco I do with any regularity is Shisha out of a Hookah. There's a local Hookah Bar not 2 minutes from my apartment and I'll hit it up once or twice a month or so.

I'll enjoy the occasional, read rarely, cigar. Tobacco isn't even that good compared to other things out there, like weed or alcohol. As I may have mentioned before I'm a light to medium drinker.

Cant blame you, nothing beats a Gin-tonic on a warm day. I mostly also combine my smoking with my drinking as i dont like smoking alone

Most of my experience with cigars has been negative, since my mates always buy cheap ones. Because of that I've never really felt like I enjoyed them.

One time a friend did get a nice cuban cigar as a gift (his friend went to Cuba) and it completely changed my mind on cigars. Taste was good and didn't give me instant cottonmouth.

See, I find this to be a bad thing. I love tobacco but have never considered it to be "cool" I just love to use it after a long stressful day and enjoy that comforting, warm feeling

Smoking should be banned.

Any smoker who approached me is trying to murder me with second-hand smoke. They should be charged with attempted murder, or even murder!

Many things can kill, butter knives can kill you but you dont ban them. If someone decides to smoke besides you then yes they are an asshole but that shouldnt be reason to ban smoking for everyone else

If someone decides to stab the person standing next to them to death, that is no reason to ban stabbings for everyone else.

Yeah, cheap gas station cigars absolutely blow, but if you go to a solid shop and get some quality cigars, the taste is usually oaky and awesome, and overall its a good experience.

A super nice and hilarious immigrant from Bosnia runs a cigar shop out here and sells some extremely high quality stuff for really affordable prices, I love that guy. Partly because he sells high quality Cubans and Domincans for half price, but also because he never cards haha.

if you're buying one of those dinky gas station ones, but most vape liquids on the market contain nicotine, and the strength can be changed to ones taste.
You can go without nicotine, doing that makes it like adult bubbles which is hella fun, but most folks do nicotine.

I would assume so.

And as long as nicotine is involved, you've got the associated issues. Oxidative stress, inflammation, atherosclerosis, etc.

But I fully endorse non-nicotine vaping
the simple fact of the matter is that vaping is fun.
