No one was ever forced to smoke their first or forced to continue smoking.
Unless you lived under a rock since at least the 1960's everyone knew cigs were bad for you, addictive & could increase risk of cancer.
I guess BT held a gun on some of y'all & forced you to smoke from the sounds of it.

I call cigarettes, cigarettes, cigs, smokes or by name (Marlboro etc...) how juvenile is that...

Almost as bad as every power device now a days is a 'mod',,, ridiculous, ludicrously incorrect, beyond juvenile.

Yeah, but where did the "analog" term come from?

In this context, anything "analog" is a more basic (even mechanical) rendition of it's digital or electronic cousin.

Think watches/clocks, cameras, thermometers - each has a more basic, non-electronic version which accomplishes the same end as its digital/electronic counterpart. Applied to vaping, a rolled tobacco cigarette is considered the analog version of the modern electronic vaporizer.

At least that has always been my interpretation.

Every time I hear the term "stinky" it conjures up this dreadful image of some mom somewhere waving her baby around, smelling it's diaper and going "stinky-poo, stinky-poo buggles gets his diaper changed."

I don't at all related to the term stinky for a cigarette. Frainkly, if anything the SMELL of a cigarette might come in USEFUL in that scenario. I also heartily DISLIKE baby talk, although I do like BABY PATOIS, which is the fact that babies hear better in higher pitched tones early on, and it's useful to talk in a different tone, but for the love of God and all that is holy, you don't have to make every dang word "doo doo" and "da da" (I am also not the biggest fan of hooked on phonics, either, ) just freaking TALK to the kid, and it will eventually learn to TALK back.

So yeah, I don't even care about stinky other than it puts that godawful image in my mind, so it's just unfortunate. But for the love of God, ALSO call them whatever floats your boat, including fags, if you so desire. I call them the "black sticks of death" but I really don't care what ya'll do, including calling them Stinkies as, frankly, it's still a "nebulously" free country and we should hold on to what we've got.

ALSO, I entirely do NOT find the term "juvenile" an insult, I actually at times find it a COMPLEMENT, so whatever on that one. My response when called juvenile is usually, "So? So I I'm creative and funny and have energy and whatnot why in the love of God would I be offended by that." I'd probably be MORE offended if someone called me "highly mature." OR something. I'd be like, "You bought into my ACT HUH, hahahaha."

I also don't care what you call my Ecig. I'm thinking of NAMING some of mine. LOL.

This entire topic is just weird, I would not expect to see the term "stinky" in an article in the New York Times, but there's a LOT I don't expect to see there, apparently they only hire news reporters capable of writing in the Post Post modern style, and it's super annoying and a PITA to wade through.

From a normal human being? HAVE AT IT and YES POLITICAL CORRECTNESS has gone too far, but that ship sailed LONG ago. I mean, I had to TURN on my phone's CURSE function it actively censored me before that time and it's over FIVE years old.

Gah.

But if there is one think I HOPE for the LOVE of GOD we can all agree on, is that the term stinky is the LEAST OF OUR WORRIES BY MORE THAN 100%!!!!!!!!!!

gah.

I find this to be a highly mature response.

Personally I still like the smell of cigarette while its lit and being smoked. It’s the after it’s done smell and the smell of an ashtray that I find to be pretty nasty.

In Alaska on the North Slope we live in camps and each camp as well as facilitiy building always have some form of smoke shack, hard to smoke outside at minus 80F.

When I smoked I made the smoke shack my office for several hours of each day. My backpack absorbed all that smoke. I washed it several times but it still had that awful ashtray odor. It was so bad when i put it in the overhead bin on a flight it would make the rest of the bags in that bin stink. Gave all my backpacks and other rancid smoke filled gear away to those that still smoked when I made the switch to vaping.

That smell was one of the reasons I gave up smoking, not the primary one but a big driver.

BTW I lend absolutely zero support to anything remotely connected to being politically correct. I am considerate and respectful of others, but have no desire to be politically correct, its all BS.

I choose to call them cigarettes because that’s what they are. I think analog is perhaps the dumbest description of a cigarette I’ve ever heard. My guess is someone who starts and ends every sentence with Dood or bro came up with that term. Stinkies kind of makes some sense but its just not in my vernacular. Plus I dont find it uniquely descriptive. Lots of things could be a stinkie.

Too cold to inhale a smoke at those kind of temps, lungs just can’t handle it. We are dressed for it and all have tried to inhale through face mask but that leaves you tasting the chemicals, tar, nicotine with every breath after that, pretty nasty.

What!!! You don't find those temps even in Antartica. True, Marambio base is a little higher up north but...
I've been to Usuahia, -12C (3.2F) and that's the coldest I've handled, close to -6C in Ann Arbor Mi in the 70s. My coldest winter ever, and my first and only snowy winter.

I’m in tampa now and can’t believe how hot it is. I’m stay in my motor home, I have the front AC set to 58 and the rear AC set to 68. I use remote start to start the truck to cool it off before I head out.

In AK we tolerate 70 we openly complain around 73. Probably no surprises but house in AK are not typically built with AC, so really hot days I go shopping because the stores have AC.

I'm not to far, I'm in sarasota and it is hot for sure and in these summer months you never really get use to it. It's funny because when I have felt the cold before ( anything like under 55, I always say, " I would rather be in the heat" but when I'm in the heat I say " I would rather be in the cold"". I envy those who are in a 70 degree place mostly all year round

You can dress for cold, our artic gear weighs in at just over 50 pounds. In the heat you can only take so much off before you become a public spectacle
