It's hard to say goodbye

A lot of them also vape in the building when they think they won't get caught
- Who cares, it doesn’t even smell like anything, let alone in the ballpark of cigs
  I am more annoyed by stinky heavy perfumes. Let’s tell people who enter buildings smelling like whole periodic table to think about their life.
  I am routinely pinching my nose with my fingers near them and staring but they rarely get the memo.
  Nothing worse when someone enters on 0 floor and you smell C16H14O2 on the tenth
  
  it doesn’t even smell like anything
  do you exist?
  
  Plenty don't smell like anything
  
  It's just you smokers can't sense it anymore.
  
  As someone who does vape, I can tell you for a fact it does leave a residue. It takes a LONG time to build up, and even then it's only really noticeable on transparent things like glass, but it's a pain to clean off without specific cleaners. Otherwise it looks perpetually smeared. Best to avoid it so the employees don't have to guess why their windows won't clean right.
  
  Well to be honest if it was perfectly acceptable it would lose its flavour. Sometimes we just do things we can get away with and that’s the whole charm. Make it commonplace smoke clouds everywhere and it’s just lame
  Legalise weed and suddenly it is not that fun because avoiding the police was the whole half of the charm
  Make illegal to drink water and suddenly everyone is over hydrated
  It’s just such a feeling to do things you technically are forbidden. Some kind of intoxicating drug in itself. I don’t even like incest but it’s so taboo that it becomes extremely hot hence the certain indie game popularity
  We love the forbidden
  Sometimes I even think communist regime coming back wouldn’t be that bad because we could have the pleasure of personal rebellion. Voting is pleasurable and all but it doesn’t pack the same punch.
  I am very jealous of Americans in 2025. Me here, I already live in as perfect country as it gets so it’s hard to find a good thing to protest but you have a prime opportunity over and over from BLM to other things.
  Well one can always annoy Chinese 🇨🇳 gov dogs as they seem to feel a bit too comfortable online lately
  
  We legalized weed and the thing that changed was the official stats for usage went up due to not worrying about legal ramifications. Not one person here in Canada said they stopped smoking weed because it became legal.
  Stop being a bootlicking dolt.
  
  You seem like the type whose college-age room is covered in blacklight posters, and tells their younger sibling's friends about how the Mayans invented cell phones.
  
  He's definitely the history channel alien guy
  
  I didn't expect to be showered in compliments today, thank you
  
  Honestly, I was at an indoor event with live music just this past weekend. They had a fog machine (a real one, that's not a metaphor), and I saw at least one person get up on stage during one of the performances, and in the middle of the performances, they whipped out their vape and took a big rip literally in front of hundreds of people, including staff at the facility and everything. Nobody gave a shit.
  If you're just sitting in a corridor and chugging on a vape, I'm pretty sure someone will care, but if you take the odd puff, and you're not in people's faces about it then it's unlikely anyone will give enough of a shit to say anything.
  Aside from that, I want to amplify that there is a residue from vaping, it is very little compared to cigarettes or any other combustible tobacco/nicotine product. I usually notice it the most in my car. It makes the windows look almost oily....
  I wouldn't say it's particularly difficult to get off of the surfaces, after all, e-juice is water soluble. I'm not saying it's easy, just not hard, especially if you compare to the tar from combustible tobacco products...
  
  The anecdote is especially funny to me because fog machines are essentially giant vapes, down to using similar ingredients, so it stands to reason that folks wouldn't care much in that scenario. Agreed wholeheartedly all around.
  
  Yup, I can confirm that fog machines use basically the same components, technology and ingredients as vapes, aside from the obvious (, nicotine/flavoring).
  They're just... Industrial sized.
  
  Fog machines smell like burnt vapes, hate it
  
  Found the vaper
  
  yeah my mint vape in the bathroom with no visible vapor is the issue not you grown adults that still wear axe like middle school boys, or refuse to take showers or wear real deodarant
  
  On one hand you guys argue "it's just water vapor", on another, you're claiming it's so addictive you can't even take a shit without taking a puff?
  Also, weird admission lol. Do you eat lunch in the bathroom too?
  Sounds like you have a nicotine one, so it's basically still second hand smoke
  
  You sound like an alcoholic, if you have that attitude sober, I feel sorry for the people in your life
  
  My comment was based on the parallels which can be drawn between so desperately needing a nicotine "hit", that you're doing it in the least hygenic location, and the similarity with hardcore druggies who snort drugs off the toilet lid, because they can't wait a few hours..
  It's further supported by the fact that you've flooded this comment 4x, in a way that suggests this isn't the first time it has been suggested you have a problem... In fact, if anything, it seems you're trying to justify others being forced to breathe small amounts of nicotine by suggesting everyone has a drug problem anyway.
  Your comment not only has nothing supporting it, but, despite the attempt, doesn't affect me at all honestly. I run a free hiking group, and the ratings for me as a guide/person are good. I've had maybe a grand total of 3 or 4 glasses of drinks this entire year honestly during special occasions, and most events I go to, nobody even drinks anymore (I'm also trying to lose more weight, and alcohol doesn't help with that).
  Just remember, in 20 years time (possibly when you have cancers discovered to be common with vaping years from now) you'll never look back at vaping and think it was worthwhile. You need to ask yourself if they've ever made your life better, or whether they've made tobacco shops lives better only..
  
  See if my vape wasn't charging, I would've blocked you instead of responding because I would've seen theres no value in talking to you based off your response, I see that now
  
  theres no argument, adults can do what they want, mfs are allowed to drink and actively poison themselves, nicotine and vapes have been proven to be as harmful as caffiene and less than excess sugar, yet no ones tweaking over starbucks addictions. People literally die off drinking one energy drink from some of these coffee shops yet vapes are the issue, vapes that are at least 95% safer than cigs, ppl dont use them becuase its addictive, they are addictive because they are useful.
  You may like having energy so you chase caffiene, or dopamine rushes from sweets, I like feeling calm and locking in, nicotine is the best for that.
  
  ive never argued its water vapor, its as addictive as caffiene, its pg, vg, and nicotine, its food safe oils and flavoring with nicotine suspended in it. It dissipates very fast, and you dont even need to let any visible vapor out, ppl who do that deserver eveey negative thing that happens to them, I never understood that.
  Also I wait if im like on a plane or in an uber, its not that wild, some insane fiends make everyone look bad, like I get irritable( my sober self PRE nicotine is)im not losing memory or having a personality change. I remember how I was prior to using nicotine daily, now whenever someone annoys me and I feel myseld getting worked up I calm myself down, yall can meditate if that works idrc lmao. People have this weird delusion that using drugs makes peolle stupider when we use them to self medicate and make ourselves more balanced.
  Oh, you think I need it to shit, if theres no smoking area I go into a stall and vape? Its not to shit, most ppl do need their morning coffee to shit, hope your not addicted to caffiene thatll ruin your heart and kill you, personally its just nicotine for me.
  
  I haven't dealt with weird perfumes specifically in a decade, whatever smells bothered me havent been popular in a while
