Jeremy Clarke in the Spectator takes up vaping.

[Shirtbloke]

Jeremy Clarke, who writes the Low Life column in the Spectator, has written a piece about how he started vaping. I regard Clarke to be one of the finest living writers in the English language - on a good day he can move me to tears - the pieces he writes about his young grandson Oscar are some of the most moving things I've ever read anywhere by anybody. This isn't quite that good, but still worth a read....

I love a reading people with a great sense of humor, thank you.

Although his writing style is entertaining, I didn't appreciate the backhanded content about how he's "more addicted to nicotine then ever but apparently these are better for him". The hipster bit was unnecessary as well.

Conclusion? The beginning made me smile, but by the end I wanted to strangle the writer.

I think he's just acknowledging that most of us spend far more time sucking on our ecigs than we ever did smoking. And aren't hipsters fair game these days? Unless you are a hipster of course, in which case chill out dude (which I believe the kids are saying these days).

Actually these days I think it's "chillax" whatever the hell that means.

I was vaping a juice called chillaxin' by Adam Bomb. Pretty good chocolate/mint flavor!(and I'm not a chocolate e juice fan normally).

Chill/relax = chillax

Edit: thought I was in another thread...
