This is... completely disconnected from life?

Everyone knows what a vape is now, no one is going to ask.

E-cigs are definitely /fa/. They're *right* in a way traditional cigs can't be anymore, not like morally right because of our contemporary obsession with health, surprisingly. But tonally right, aesthetically right, in sync with the time.

Also, I don't think anyone's figured them out yet, what they are, the way Richard Klein did (after hundreds of years) with traditional cigs. Don't you want to be out ahead of the critics? Don't you want to be pioneering a new kind of affect from an old chemical?

Wat.

Anyway, I think they definitely are. They're *right* in a way traditional cigs can't be anymore, not like morally right because of our contemporary obsession with health, surprisingly. But tonally right, aesthetically right, in sync with the time.

They can be, note pic, but e-cigs are more in sync with the time somehow. They're *right* in a way traditional cigs can't be anymore, not like morally right because of our contemporary obsession with health, surprisingly. But tonally right, aesthetically right.

And, yeah, of course, better body performance now, better body looks later, better no-chemo-and-oxygen-tank even later, and cheaper.

If OP was actually smart, he'd answer with this.

I've been trying to figure out what exactly e-cigs *are*, not psychotropically or anything, but what they are as cultural objects, signs, etc. We have cigarettes pretty well figured out, pic related, but beyond catalysts for the death of puritanism (great thesis; I agree wholeheartedly) do you have any thoughts? What is a cigarette - a nicotine delivery device imitating a cigarette - without the negative pleasure and hint of death? What's the new thing they put in place of the old puritan/decadent complex?

How do you think this is going to affect it?

Will post in every thread until these stop.
