First off, obligatory acknowledgement that political compasses are brainrot content and not a great categorization of real world political landscapes.

Second off, I feel like the bottom two should be switched. Vapes can often be worse on your lungs than cigarettes (depending on the resin used and various factors) and contribute massively to the ewaste problem. They are marketed with bright colors and fun flavors to make them more appealing to children. Even vapes that advertise "no nicotine" often contain a nonzero amount to keep you hooked. All of this was done to innovate past cigarette/tobacco regulations and restrictions.

It's a right-libertarian's dream product, a testament to the free market's ability to give zero fucks if it makes money and move faster than legislation can follow.

Meanwhile anarchists are trash who crave a fucking cig but noooooo I need to live longer and healthier because the better world I want could use me in it

Anyways yes, I'm in full agreement, but make it unfiltered. It should feel like it's killing you

Cigars are so smoky / stinky. I'd definitely prefer someone with a pipe.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Cigars are cool, though. Plus you aren't suppose to inhale, which is slightly healthier.

Swap the vape and the corn cob pipe

Agree.

Every pipe smoker I know is more educated and less brash. They would respectfully disagree with you and then engage you in a long meandering conversation about whisky.

Corn cob pipe is gonna tell me an epic story and then lose the plot halfway thru. Vape dude is gonna tell me that working for Lockheed Martin is worth the $ and fuck my feelings
