Once again, awesome post @cyniclinic! I'm really happy that you are covering the benefits of vaping so well, and I hate that I didn't think of it first hehe.
I must say, though, I just can't imagine how anyone could spend $7.00US or more on ciggys a day. When I smoked, I toked down over 2 packs a day, that's like almost $5500US per year. F that!!!
And to think, most of that currency is going to the "man" . What's the percentage of the price of a pack of smokes that is taxes? My guess would be above 85%. This is the reason for all the negativity on vapes. It takes away from the "man".
I have a theory on this. Have you noticed, since vaping has become mainstream, now the "man" wants to tax soda and chips. They are losing this steady revenue stream.... What's next? An air/water tax??? A sewer tax? Wait, we already have that.
I find it kind of funny actually. Most of my life, all I heard was: "stick it to the smokers", "tax tobacco more", "smokers can't be around me". Now, those same people are being wrongfully taxed. Ah, karma...
The "man" would say: "We must tax smokers because of all the money it is going to cost us later on to take care of them". I say, "When I'm finally on my death bed, the room better be lined with gold and the toilets flush with Perrier." That is how overtaxed I have been most of my life.
Now, they want to tax e-cigs the same as cigarettes. This just proves that the "man" doesn't care about anyone. The "man" only cares about tax dollars....
hah, i don't get how you could even smoke 2 packs a day, that's so much. but my uncle used to hit 3 packs a day sometimes before i got him to start vaping.
yea, i definitely think governments are knowingly complicit in this recent push to discourage vaping. that's another reason i'm pushing so hard.
if you ask me, i'd say that the next major tax they're planning is a carbon tax. that's why it's such a huge deal now to be a "global warming denier" or "climate change denier". not that i don't think that climate change is very possible (the weather's been fucking crazy!), i just doubt whether it's really caused by humans.
well, thank god there are still some people who are skeptical of our dear global leaders' motivations.
hallelujah!
Word. I don't know how old you are, but when I was growing up, I was being told that we should be in the next ice age by now. I say, "before changing the weather, you should be able to predict the weather". hehe. Never going to happen.
Smoking 2 packs is easy. Just light em up!
Right in the spot man, right in the spot.
