Using the term "analog" to describe cigarettes is dumb, and the goober who came up with the idea should be kicked in the ding-ding. I refuse to play along.

So there.


:laugh:

I couldn't agree more...I cringe a little every time I see the term.

Call it what it is...a cigarette, plain and simple.

Actually I have to disagree with you on your representation of Analog vs Digital. By definition, a Digital signal is a series of 1's and 0's or On's (1's) and Off's (0's)

Just think of the Old Indian form of communication, Smoke Signals. It is a Digital form of communication using an Analog device. Just like Light Signals on board a ship.

Thus vaping is Digital in that they are either on or off. But old Cig's are analog as they are always on but with varying degrees of amplitude between taking a drag or sitting idle.

Just my 2 cents ;)

that's what i've assumed since i came here too.

cancer sticks and coffin nails "just driving another nail in your coffin" have been around since World War Two and back then cigarettes were sent to our boys in the trenches as a patriotic act

but then compared to bullets, cannon rounds and land mines cigarettes might have been considered fairly safe
