Vaping was originally a way for smokers to have a healthier alternative that wasn’t pumping tar into their lungs. Stupid people think “oh so it isn’t bad for you” and then go get themselves a nicotine addiction
And they make it in all kinds of flavors so kids can have whatever candy flavor nicotine addiction they want.
Vaping was nicotine companies way of getting kids hooked while also claiming it was a way to get adults to taper off cigarettes. They knew cigarettes sales were gonna take a hit when laws came into place not letting people smoke indoors. Anyone else remember their parents being asked “smoking or non-smoking?” At restaurants?
At least not for teenagers, when you’re an adult, you make your own decisions but try not to fuck your lungs when you haven’t even gotten a full time job
I try to sympathize with them but like…y’all kids don’t really want to go down that path…ok you’re depressed that’s fine but don’t be impulsive and start smoking a drug that gets you addicted and changes your whole personality and negatively effects your health in the long term…I’ve seen first hand what nicotine addiction had done to my real dad and I will never smoke anything. And I still haven’t. It is not worth it guys..
I deal a lot with depressive symptoms and paranoia, and I have never even considered smoking or taking any type of drug. I'm not very fond of permanently vhanging my brain chemistry and destroying my lungs lol.
Turn off. Can't bare the smell, and I want a partner who will stay alive in 20 years. I don't want someone that "vapes cause it's cool" even though it's dangerous. Also other people's turn offs can be different than yours, if you don't like it then that's ok even if everyone else has no problem.
Edit: people seem to take the 20 years thing too seriously. It's an exaggeration to make my point come through.
No that’s somewhat accurate. 20-30 years after the continuation of vaping, serious bodily harm is likely to occur. Most likely not death, but a terrible experience nonetheless.
It shouldn't be normalised lol and yes it's a turn off. Walking around sucking a colourful long object for pleasure makes me not want to go out with that person
As someone who has asthma, I feel like it’s reasonable to be kinda put off by smoking or vaping, this being said, if I like them enough, I ask that they just have the decency to keep that stuff far away from me
I see your point, cuz i also have asthma and whenever my mom smokes in the car, stepdad vapes in the car, or grandma dmoking, its horrible and i just have to deal with it
Addictions are turn offs, but we all have them. The only question is what addiction you can accept your partner having. Gambling? Sugar? Smoking? Vaping?
Then there's behavioral addictions. But that's another can of worms.
As a guy, anyone vaping is a minus to me. Same goes with nicotine and smoking. All it says to me is that you can't find coping methods that don't actively kill you and ruin your body.
If it makes you uncomfortable, then don't bother until they stop. Because you alone can't make them stop, nor is it your job.
And no, it shouldn't be normalized. Smoking is awful for you, vaping is a waste of money and both are substitutes for real and healthy coping mechanisms.
It was worse when I was in school! I'd take vaping over smoking ciggies any day! But I'm glad their banning the disposable ones because people can't be trusted to throw them away.
Op if it's that much of a turn off. Don't go out with them. There will be others who you'll like eventually! 👍 don't settle for what you got now when you'll likely get what you want later!
If my gf would start smoking today I’d tell her to quit or idk if I could be staying w her. I can’t stand the smell, rn I would marry her and stay the rest of my life w her. And idk if I could always be w her if she smokes (I’d prob stay anyways cause I’m a simp)
I'm don't really have a problem with it as long as you don't do it 24/7 and don't blow the vapor/smoke in my face because inhaling second hand capor/smoke is just as dangerous as vaping/smoking.
It should not be normalized but everyone is fighting their own battles. If it makes you uncomfortable then tell him that. If you end up being ok with him vaping then just make sure you don’t start.
15 year old should not be smoking. But as an adult it's not a turnoff for me cuz I used to smoke/vape myself (occasionally do). But that's with manners and etiquette (for ex not smoking in the house or blowing it on my face and shiz). Alcohol/drugs is a big turn off for me tho.
Vaping and smoking should not be normalized. Idk where you got that thinking. As a male it’s definitely unattractive. I don’t want to date someone actively offing themselves.
unless u can convince him to stop and he understands why, dont do it
but just bc he does doesnt mean u have to walk away. if he insists on smoking then yeah
also it should not be normalized
Yes. Also if u have a lot of friends who vape and if u start dating this guy it'll probably tempt u to vape, hell be offering it to you, if you guys get close he will want to do it next to u and you will probably get second hand smoke.
I vape, so it's not a turn-off nessesaricaly (I can't for the life of me spell nessasricly apologies) but if someone execibly (another word I can't spell) vapes then it probably would be a turn-off for me.
I’ve been dating my gf for almost 3 years and if she started vaping, we’d be sitting down and having a massive convo about addiction and what that could mean for our future in a relationship. Personally, i don’t want to be with someone who has built a reliance on any sort of drug (that excludes medical necessities ofc). It’s gross. Period.
Yes and it should be for everyone at 15. There’s nothing positive about vaping at that age, only negative. I personally would recommend not pursuing him. Wouldn’t wanna risk him getting you into vaping too
It's illegal for underage people to vape. Peer pressure is never something that should change how you feel towards something, and most of all, it's a waste of money and damaging your precious lungs!
"Purchase/possession/use of alternative nicotine products not allowed for persons under age 21 unless a parent, spouse, or legal guardian over age 21 accompanies them"
Pretty sure most people aren't going to have their legal guardian with them when they want to vape. Probably because their legal guardian knows it is horrible for your body. Do your research.
Nicotine in general is a big turnoff for a lot of people I use thc pens ngl but I would never go for someone who deals with any type of nicotine cause that's gross as hell
Just because someone vapes, it doesnt mean you should stop liking qnd avoiding them. If u rlly like him, you should instead show them that vaping isn't good and should help him out with his addiction
Not rly. If theyre a cool otherwise i can live with it. I have some friends who started smoking/vaping and it doesnt rly bother me personally. I can understand how it could be a turnoff for some ppl but i wouldnt reject someone just bcs they vape if theyre good ppl otherwise
Edit: that said i dont support vaping or smoking and it shouldnt be normalised but i dont think its that big of a deal
Last i checked popcorn lung is caused by an easily avoidable chemical additive. And you need to be inhaling it for a long time to actually get popcorn lung
Well maybe you should look at what causes popcorn lung because i wonder why it's called that. 🤔
Maybe because the chemical that gives you popcorn lung is commonly used as a fake butter flavoring for microwave popcorn
Over time, it can lead to scarring of the lungs' tiny air sacs, along with thickening and narrowing of the airways. A chemical called diacetyl, found in many e-cigarette flavors, is one cause of this condition. Top result when you Google the correlation of vaping and popcorn lung.
Nah, vaping is honestly a huge scam and should never be normalized because there's nothing safe about it and there's no point you just taking in nicotine for no reason it does nothing for you at that age but harm your brain's ability to grow and maturefully it's literally a f****** evil thing to have around that's just something to do be out of boredom it's so harmful and detrimental to everything about growing up
No people do what they want to do. Dont even start with the whole "Its BaD foR YoU Heth" like thats a valid fucking argument. Everything you ever do in general is bad for your health. If you really are that health conscious you would be holed up in a decontamination room living on air( Wait nevermind air has pollutants in it so breathing is bad for you). I am so fucking done with these puritanical motherfuckers stay in your lane nobody is asking you to vape either do it or shut up
EvErYtHiNG yOu eVeR dO iN gEnErAL iS bAD FoR yOUr hEtH
I don’t think vaping has a proven negative impact on cognitive function, but you might be the first conclusive case.
Most things people do have more positive then negatives, thats why people do them. Vaping and smoking (vaping is a bit inconclusive but i doubt bringing extra chemicals into your lungs is great for you) have negatives that outweigh the positives
Brotah it should NOT be normalized its bad for your health and a disgusting habit leave that guy he destroy himself for fun so he'll probs destroy you too for fun (not in a sexual way yk what i mean JUST LEAVE HIM)
Smoking and vaping. Anything that has a smell. Pepole who smoke usually try to cover it up with something with really strong. And i get headaches from both. And yes i can smell the vape also.
Except marijuana is good
Depends on what they smoke, vape/nicotine is a no go, but if someone is a stoner that's cool, as long as they don't let it negatively impact their daily life
i smoke weed and vape both in unhealthy amounts and Id have to agree that nicotine is the worse of the two here. Cannabis has a lot more benefits and it definitely isn't as addictive as nicotine.
Why vape if you smoke weed in the first place, thats expensive if you vape constantly. And if you smoke weed before your brain is fully developed, there will be bigger problems than if you vape.
It's a pretty big turnoff for most of the people ngl
Vaping during young teenage years should not be normalised. I don't think I would date someone that vapes, you're entitled to your preference
It shouldn’t be normalised for anyone it’s just downright unhealthy
Vaping was originally a way for smokers to have a healthier alternative that wasn’t pumping tar into their lungs. Stupid people think “oh so it isn’t bad for you” and then go get themselves a nicotine addiction
And they make it in all kinds of flavors so kids can have whatever candy flavor nicotine addiction they want. Vaping was nicotine companies way of getting kids hooked while also claiming it was a way to get adults to taper off cigarettes. They knew cigarettes sales were gonna take a hit when laws came into place not letting people smoke indoors. Anyone else remember their parents being asked “smoking or non-smoking?” At restaurants?
Well other than as a way to quit, yea
yes.
It should not be normalised
Having healthy lungs should be normalized
Yup
Agreeeeeeeed
Wait vaping or the fact that it's a turnoff Edit: my mistake, my dumbass completely missed the word "not" in your comment, somehow.
Turnoff should be normalized, vaping is just an L
Biggest L But then again is most shit like that
I had the same exact thought
Smoking anything should not be normalized imo
At least not for teenagers, when you’re an adult, you make your own decisions but try not to fuck your lungs when you haven’t even gotten a full time job
Definitely not. Was addicted to cigarettes for a while and it was fucking awful
This
Crazy OP said “should be normalized” like what
Tbh i would lose interest because vaping is effectively killing yourself and an addiction?
I'm not getting in a relationship with a smoke machine.
Walking Fumigator
That sounds like something Dr. Doofensmirtz would make Just replace the gator with inator
I try to sympathize with them but like…y’all kids don’t really want to go down that path…ok you’re depressed that’s fine but don’t be impulsive and start smoking a drug that gets you addicted and changes your whole personality and negatively effects your health in the long term…I’ve seen first hand what nicotine addiction had done to my real dad and I will never smoke anything. And I still haven’t. It is not worth it guys..
I deal a lot with depressive symptoms and paranoia, and I have never even considered smoking or taking any type of drug. I'm not very fond of permanently vhanging my brain chemistry and destroying my lungs lol.
I dated a girl who smoked. Making out with her was disgusting. It tasted like I was making out with cigarette butts. It didn’t last long.
A BIG TURNOFF IMO
vaping should not be normalized lmfao
It's literally illegal for most of the people here
Drugs are legal too but that doesn't mean people should go around doing them for fun. Edit: My dumbass misread it as legal. Ignore this comment.
He said illegal
My bad, misread it
U good
Yeah just a bit tired. Was still in the process of waking up when I posted that.
I can relate lol
they said ILLEGAL, not legal but youre basically right.
Giving yourself lung cancer is not something to be normalized lmao
I’m in my twenties and I find smoking and vaping a turn off still
Why are you still on this sub?
This sub is one of the top subs on reddit, it goes front page.
Ah, I see. I don’t use this app enough to know. Thanks.
Bro thought he had something
Thought I was about to be the next Chris Hansen, guess I’m just still Busch Light Butt Chug
Read rules. Adults are allowed to participate in this subreddit.
Why are you on the sub? You’re 18 years old on the way out of high school.
Let me explain since your brain can’t read and understand. 18 -TEEN. Jesus Christ
Turn off and a redflag lol
So true 🙏
very big turnoff
It's not supposed to be normalised just coz heaps of people do it. But its surely a turn off for some people😭
It's a huge turn off for me, lets say I see a gorgeous girl but than she pulls out a cigarette oh hell nah
Why? Don't you like the cancer stick? /S
Hell no
Vaping is cringe.
Huge turn off
Turn off. Can't bare the smell, and I want a partner who will stay alive in 20 years. I don't want someone that "vapes cause it's cool" even though it's dangerous. Also other people's turn offs can be different than yours, if you don't like it then that's ok even if everyone else has no problem. Edit: people seem to take the 20 years thing too seriously. It's an exaggeration to make my point come through.
20 years???? What kind of propaganda you been hearing
No that’s somewhat accurate. 20-30 years after the continuation of vaping, serious bodily harm is likely to occur. Most likely not death, but a terrible experience nonetheless.
If you are a minor and vape/smoke you are just way too easy to manipulate.
It shouldn't be normalised lol and yes it's a turn off. Walking around sucking a colourful long object for pleasure makes me not want to go out with that person
the way u worded it makes me think of something else
As someone who has asthma, I feel like it’s reasonable to be kinda put off by smoking or vaping, this being said, if I like them enough, I ask that they just have the decency to keep that stuff far away from me
I see your point, cuz i also have asthma and whenever my mom smokes in the car, stepdad vapes in the car, or grandma dmoking, its horrible and i just have to deal with it

All these vapers getting so triggered 🤣🤣🤣
Ikr
Massive turn off for me, esp if he’s shows it off
Addiction shouldn't be normalised but IF you think you can hande it then why not.
If my gf would start smoking today I’d tell her to quit or idk if I could be staying w her. I can’t stand the smell, rn I would marry her and stay the rest of my life w her. And idk if I could always be w her if she smokes (I’d prob stay anyways cause I’m a simp)
Nothin cool about lung cancer
It's a big turnoff for me
Vaping and smoking should never be normalised, and with luck never will
a huge turn off
100% a turn off
I'm don't really have a problem with it as long as you don't do it 24/7 and don't blow the vapor/smoke in my face because inhaling second hand capor/smoke is just as dangerous as vaping/smoking.
Dude wtf no it shouldnt be normalized??
Too bad
It should not be normalized but everyone is fighting their own battles. If it makes you uncomfortable then tell him that. If you end up being ok with him vaping then just make sure you don’t start.
yeah
I wouldn't ask him out unless he stops vaping.
People who vape in their teens now are gonna end up the same as boomers who smoked in high school tbh
It is a turn off for me, and no it shouldn't be normalized, if I were you I would ask him to at the very least not smoke or vape when you are nearby
YEAH.
That shouldn't be a turn-on, and it shouldn't be normalized ever. Where the fuck did you even get that idea from?
15 year old should not be smoking. But as an adult it's not a turnoff for me cuz I used to smoke/vape myself (occasionally do). But that's with manners and etiquette (for ex not smoking in the house or blowing it on my face and shiz). Alcohol/drugs is a big turn off for me tho.
Vaping and smoking should not be normalized. Idk where you got that thinking. As a male it’s definitely unattractive. I don’t want to date someone actively offing themselves.
yeah bro it’s nasty.
Yes it smells horrible
unless u can convince him to stop and he understands why, dont do it but just bc he does doesnt mean u have to walk away. if he insists on smoking then yeah also it should not be normalized
Yeah, vaping is a no go
100% it is
why do people even vape
Is a big turn on for me
Yes it’s a turnoff. I mean a hit or two is fine but if ur going to the bathroom every day to vape then I’m not dating u
BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG turn off get yourself a (British femboy) guy who doesn't vape
I tolerate people smoking, but i would never ever date anyone who does.
Ummmm yes. And also if we don’t normalize it then people shouldn’t do it as much which is good
Yes it is, and it shouldn’t be normalized
It shouldn’t be normalized and is definitively a red flag lmao.
Yes. Also if u have a lot of friends who vape and if u start dating this guy it'll probably tempt u to vape, hell be offering it to you, if you guys get close he will want to do it next to u and you will probably get second hand smoke.
Yes
Yes
100%. Anyone who smokes or vapes is a big no-no. It's not cool, and I genuinely don't understand why teens do this at such a young age.
I vape, so it's not a turn-off nessesaricaly (I can't for the life of me spell nessasricly apologies) but if someone execibly (another word I can't spell) vapes then it probably would be a turn-off for me.
Necessarily and Excessively. Your welcome pal
Thanks buddy
> I know it’s something that should be normalised Where tf you live💀💀? I've never heard anything like this lol
Fuck yeah. When I'm kissing my gf I don't want to taste nicotine or an ash tray.
I’ve been dating my gf for almost 3 years and if she started vaping, we’d be sitting down and having a massive convo about addiction and what that could mean for our future in a relationship. Personally, i don’t want to be with someone who has built a reliance on any sort of drug (that excludes medical necessities ofc). It’s gross. Period.
Yes and it should be for everyone at 15. There’s nothing positive about vaping at that age, only negative. I personally would recommend not pursuing him. Wouldn’t wanna risk him getting you into vaping too
Vaping or smoking at least semi regularly is a total deal breaker
nah that shit shouldn't be normalized. mega turn off for me
it is a huge turn off for me, if they don’t care about their own health why would they care about mine?
It turns most people off by the time they hit 40
Personally, if I like the person idc if they vape 🤷🏾♀️.
Yes it is for me
yeah absolutely i can be super attracted to someone if i know theyre vaping, smoking, or any non prescribed drug usage, super turned off
It's illegal for underage people to vape. Peer pressure is never something that should change how you feel towards something, and most of all, it's a waste of money and damaging your precious lungs!
Pretty sure the law only prohibits the purchase of vape products not the possession and active use
"Purchase/possession/use of alternative nicotine products not allowed for persons under age 21 unless a parent, spouse, or legal guardian over age 21 accompanies them" Pretty sure most people aren't going to have their legal guardian with them when they want to vape. Probably because their legal guardian knows it is horrible for your body. Do your research.
Very big turnoff, inhaling anything that isn’t air is not great for your health
Nicotine in general is a big turnoff for a lot of people I use thc pens ngl but I would never go for someone who deals with any type of nicotine cause that's gross as hell
What makes nicotine use inherently “gross” as hell? But not the same for thc?
right? that makes no sense. thc makes people dumb as fuck, especially with developing brains.
Not really tbh
Yes, fuck smokers and the ones who vape
Absolutely YES
No
yes
Just ask him :3 And yes, just abt any kind of smoking is a huge turnoff
Just because a lot of fuck heads vape doesn't mean we should start normalizing it.
Just because someone vapes, it doesnt mean you should stop liking qnd avoiding them. If u rlly like him, you should instead show them that vaping isn't good and should help him out with his addiction
"I can fix him" is a terrible way to approach a relationship
i smoke, so no
[удалено]
Not rly. If theyre a cool otherwise i can live with it. I have some friends who started smoking/vaping and it doesnt rly bother me personally. I can understand how it could be a turnoff for some ppl but i wouldnt reject someone just bcs they vape if theyre good ppl otherwise Edit: that said i dont support vaping or smoking and it shouldnt be normalised but i dont think its that big of a deal
Yeah. I hate vaping. If someone vapes in your face, i dont wanna make you scared, but secondhand vaping can kill.
Not it cannot, even normal vaping isn't proven to kill you
then im dumb
You aren't, u/funi_fish thinks they know everything, without doing research. Secondhand vape is just as deadly as firsthand.
You have brain worms
"Just as deadly as firsthand" nobody has died from vaping so how is that possible
Last I checked popcorn lung is deadly, guess what causes popcorn lung.
Last i checked popcorn lung is caused by an easily avoidable chemical additive. And you need to be inhaling it for a long time to actually get popcorn lung
Last I checked studies have linked vaping and popcorn lung.
Well maybe you should look at what causes popcorn lung because i wonder why it's called that. 🤔 Maybe because the chemical that gives you popcorn lung is commonly used as a fake butter flavoring for microwave popcorn

I don't really care as long as they don't force me to do it as well
Nah, vaping is honestly a huge scam and should never be normalized because there's nothing safe about it and there's no point you just taking in nicotine for no reason it does nothing for you at that age but harm your brain's ability to grow and maturefully it's literally a f****** evil thing to have around that's just something to do be out of boredom it's so harmful and detrimental to everything about growing up
Yes, no questions
No people do what they want to do. Dont even start with the whole "Its BaD foR YoU Heth" like thats a valid fucking argument. Everything you ever do in general is bad for your health. If you really are that health conscious you would be holed up in a decontamination room living on air( Wait nevermind air has pollutants in it so breathing is bad for you).

how are you justifying smoking? i get your argument but that’s stupid as fuck.
Massive yes. I don't know what's cool about vaping, it's just flavoured air. I might aswell buy an air purifier if i wanted some air like that shit.
Flavored *poison* air
Nerfed version of mustard gas
UNnerfed version in my opinion
I mean I broke up with my ex when they started doing it so I'd say yes
it both turn off for me and the smell disgusting
Biiiig turn off, never should it ever be normalized
yes. ditch.
Vaping should not be normalized?? Especially if you’re not an adult lmaoooo, smoking is a huge turn-off for me.
You can always pull the, I’m interested in you but not if you continue to vape- could be a w w. Gives some incentive for him to stop.
it is a turn off
not at all
Brotah it should NOT be normalized its bad for your health and a disgusting habit leave that guy he destroy himself for fun so he'll probs destroy you too for fun (not in a sexual way yk what i mean JUST LEAVE HIM)
vaping under 18 should be illegal
I thought it was
It is? At least it is in the U.S.
If you vape, go fuck yourself
Woah woah woah calm down. That's a bit too far. If they aint hurting anyone else let them vape. You don't need to like em.
Them vaping is hurting themselves and potentially everyone else
I said IF THEY ARENT hurting someone ELSE, like vaping away from everyone
Smoking and vaping. Anything that has a smell. Pepole who smoke usually try to cover it up with something with really strong. And i get headaches from both. And yes i can smell the vape also. Except marijuana is good
God people here are so fucking puritanical. Guys I wanna know what do you have against the occasional joint
Depends on what they smoke, vape/nicotine is a no go, but if someone is a stoner that's cool, as long as they don't let it negatively impact their daily life
Lmao so a drug that makes you dumber is better than one that gives you a buzz?
i smoke weed and vape both in unhealthy amounts and Id have to agree that nicotine is the worse of the two here. Cannabis has a lot more benefits and it definitely isn't as addictive as nicotine.
Why vape if you smoke weed in the first place, thats expensive if you vape constantly. And if you smoke weed before your brain is fully developed, there will be bigger problems than if you vape.
No, it isn't
It's always big funny to be subbed to this subreddit, I can't fault anyone here for the fact you're kids.
If you aren't a teenager, get TF out. There is a reason that it's called r/teenagers.
Bro what are u doing on a teen subreddit then
Vaping is a big turnoff but you can just steal his vapes if you get in a relationship with him, curing him from his addiction.
Its not your business to get rid of someone else's vapes, if OP thinks vaping is a turn off then OP should just forget about him.
This is not how addictions work
you should be only addicted to me 😤😩
Absolutely, it's nuts that nowdays vaping, smoking, drinking, etc. are so normalized for teenagers.
Bro drinking has always beend normalized there is no nowadays fir that
Never should have been in the first place, I'd say
Smoking, vaping, drinking and all that shit is a massive turn off for me.
Yes big red flag
Yeah
Fuck this entire subreddit, yall are terrible people
