E-Cigarettes Have A Coolness Problem

Are E-Cigarettes Cool? - Business Insider


"Last month, Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher mocked the drummer from Muse after he caught him smoking an electronic cigarette. Said Gallagher: "I had to say to him: 'Really? Really? Is that where you are at? Do me a favor, mate, either have a proper one outside, or don't have one.' It lit up green when he had a drag of it. Nonsense.""

Who still listens to Oasis? lol

The same people that care about who celebrities vote for.

And in mainstream media, all e-cigs look like a cigarette with an LED to simulate a burning coal

I came here to post the same article.

1) My first thought was: "Thanks! This article serves to reinforce what vaping and THR Advocates have been saying all along - The Industry has no intention to market these products to rebellious youth."

2) Funny thing about being "Cool" is we don't need validation from pop-stars and Hollywood to know we're making an informed decision about our quality of life and the health of those around us. Our heroes are taking the fight to State Capitols and Federal Regulatory Bodies and out of control Pharmaceutical Companies. I'm certain there will come a moment in my time where the self appointed cultural "elite" will turn to one another (eCigs in hand), chuckle, and say "I was vaping before it was 'Cool'".

3) I don't know about you, but my stealthy stainless Mini eGo, f15 LR Boge Carto, stainless eGo cone, and a chrome drip tip (from COV) looks pretty slick. The Lucky Pear (from Namber) was pretty tasty too until I vaped it all.

Saw this earlier, I didnt post because its just stupid, THough a good point by noevilstar, kind of validates the whole youth thing! I hadn't thought about that until you mentioned. I guess no matter how silly the article, some good can come from it!

neither were cell phones or computers one time, then apple came along.
Cool is a moving target, who cares if someone thinks ecig are cool, they will become uncool just as fast.

the cast of the jersey shore seems to like them I recently noticed.
probably because they arent as dumb as the .... they do for the paycheck.

Being cool means: I don't care. Well, I don't care, therefore I'm cool.

[Daniel13]

anyone notice how all the articles plagiarize each other? they also sound like advertisements, and also the fact that they keep trying ecigs but keep sticking to traditional cigarettes.

 

[rothenbj]

E cigs are definitely cool. They're cool because I'm not inhaling 40-50 cigarettes a day anymore, I have a cycle in my garage that I bought with the money I saved and I feel so much better than 4 years ago (other than being 4 years older).

Obama is always preaching "Fairness" ...
I suggest it would only be Fair to have 50% of those
sitting in judgment making rules & laws regarding e-cigarettes ...
to be e-smokers.

And make the other half smoke combustibles while we wait for the discussions to be completed.

Although I listen Oasis and I think they have some great songs, I actually don't care what any of them thinks on any social issue. They are a rock band and I don't think anyone in their right mind will take life advice from people who are notorious for all the bad habits theu have.

You mean giving up smoking means I have to give up my OTHER bad habits!? Where was THAT warning!?!?

 

[subversive]

I thought about the same as the guy quoted when I first came across e-cigs. I thought they were stupid and people who used them were pansies, for lack of a better word. I would never have given them a chance if I hadn't been so fed up with lung and sinus infections.
