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.
