Calling a traditional cigarette an "Analog" makes no sense. It sounds stupid every time I hear it.
Urban Dictionary: Analog Cigarette

Cigarettes are analog as opposed to what? Something digital? Like comparing an analog watch to a digital watch?

Your vape rig is analog. It isn't processing 0s and 1s when you take a drag. It actually fits the definition of analog better than traditional cigarettes do. E-cigs aren't digital; just FYI.

No.
Go back to sleep.

Use of analog is pretty cool way of distancing cigs from vapor replacement .
You can use any term you'd like as long as people understand what you're referring to.
Theses vapor devices are very much part of a new digital age. Seems appropriate to talk about their opposite as ANALOG.
The battle ground is now to gain acceptance of the new devices as NOT cigs.
Using analog as a term does give the movement more creative appeal.

No.

Im not gonna stop calling them stinkies, or cancer sticks either. Any nickname that has a bad connotation associated with it helps keep people off of them and helps to distance us from "analogs"

Change purely for the sake of change is NOT progress.

Progress would be those who are new to the forums absorbing as much info as they can BEFORE asking the rest of us to change just to suit them.

I'd be happy if they just learned how to use the search function before posting the 7000th thread about why is their BCC leaking.
