I deal with this every morning my wife smokes a cigarette with her coffee. I guess I'm used to it because I don't smell nothing. there not called stinkies they're called nails everyone it's another nail in the coffin
How times have changed, especially the hankerchief. I'm old but not old enough to have used one , i do remember my grandfather using one and stuffing that nasty thing back in his pocket.
Ever the contrarian...
analog or analogue - something that bears an analogy to something else
E-cigs are an 'analog' of cigarettes.

Doesn't bother me. But there are things that vapers say that I think are damaging to vaping.
"Stealth vaping" is one of those things. I see lots of folks talking about "stealth vaping" and vaping where it's not allowed. I see this in lots of youtube videos. It's that type of inconsiderate behavior that gives vapers a bad name. And it will only lead to laws that restrict vaping.
Another thing that I believe is detrimental to vaping is the animosity between different types of vaping. MTL, DTL, Pod, "beginner device", Prebuilt, Rebuildable, etc. Fighting over meaningless differences is damaging to vaping in general. If "tootle puffing" or "cloud chasing", for example, gets people vaping instead of smoking then both are equally good.

Sure. But somebody also has a right to say they think it *sounds* juvenile, right? (to them, anyway).
I know there are couples where the wife calls the husband "daddy" or the husband calls they wife "mommy". Fine with me. I have no desire to compel other people's speech.
For myself, as a full grown adult capable of caring for myself, I certainly am not in the market for a daddy, but if somebody wants that, it's also fine with me.
However, for ME, spending the evening at dinner with such a couple and those words flying around constantly, where there are no *actual children* in the house makes me want to burst out laughing.....and isn't it my right to say so?
I'll tell you what is detrimental to vaping. Pretty much EVERY vape shoppe I've been in seizes the opportunity to bash the other vape stores. (in AR we're not allowed to buy online, supposedly, so during my time vaping I had to go into a lot of brick and mortars.) I can't tell you the number of times I've simply wanted to purchase something and somehow, this would sneak itself into the conversation about ejuices.
Or, a new store would open, the owners of other stores would send a "plant" and they never identify themselves, or say "welcome to the industry".......they just go in, browse around, snoop, and then go back and tell all their own customers how the other guys suck.
I've pretty much found most of the vaping stores (at least where I have gone) ownership to be way less than anything close to professional types of people.......professionals are busy excelling at what they do and beat their competition that way, not by bad mouthing the other guy.
Hope some vape store owners / ejuice makers read this. Guess what? You say stuff like that when I'm in your store, I don't return.
(people w/in a small industry need to show comraderie and solidarity and support each other).
That's sad. Most of the shops around here are cool about competition. If they don't have something they will recommend another shop that probably will. I have never heard one bad mouth another.I'll tell you what is detrimental to vaping. Pretty much EVERY vape shoppe I've been in seizes the opportunity to bash the other vape stores.

I'll take the bait and go there, probably get slapped for this....why don't we just call them poop sticks? There's juvenile for ya, lol.
The term E-cig is editorializing also.
I don't like it therefore everyone should cease using it immediately.
The only thing they have in common is that they both are nicotine delivery devices.
Snuff has nicotine as well, but isn't a cigarette or derivative of.
Etc., etc., etc.........
If I don't see a 'personal vaporizer' and a cigarette as comparable, then the 'analog' argument no longer applies.
Unless of course, you're referring to what the majority decides, and the majority of users here call cigarettes what?
That's right......stinkies.
electronic cigarettes from the very start. The opposite, analogs.
Contrary to popular belief, the definition of 'analog' is not the opposite of something electronic or digital.
'Analog' means: comparable or similar to.
Just saying.........
Ok, from this point forward, they shall be known as White Filtered Tubes of Slow Death.
NOUN
analogue (noun)
analogue (noun)
- a person or thing seen as comparable to another.
"an interior analogue of the exterior world"
That lack of comraderie, solidarity, and support of each other hurt the vaping industry when the FDA began making and instituting its rules and regulations. A small fraction of vape shop owners did organize and support the industry's interests, but compared to the power of the lobbyists and financial support from the opposition (Big Tobacco, Big Pharma) it was too little too late.
When I worked as a salesperson for a vape shop chain in 2014, I didn't see the bashing of competitive shops. When our shop first opened, it was the second one in Cincinnati. By the time I retired a year later, there must have been at least 20 other shops up and running. Only one of those newer shops allegedly bashed another one, and the other shops banded together and publicly condemmed that shop on social media as being unprofessional.
I can remember our shop being out of stock of a popular clearomizer coil head and customers being impatient for replacement supplies coming from China. A competitive shop had a surplus of those coils, and a business deal was arranged to benefit both shops. It was a win for both shops, as well as the customers who needed the coils.
Being out of the business end of the industry for four years now, I don't know what the climate is between competitive vape shops today in Cincinnati. Just following social media of the local vape shops, it appears it is healthy and supportive of each other. My former business manager organized local and regional shops and he testified before state lawmakers in the interests of the industry.

When my city banned indoor vaping all the shops got together including ones from surrounding cities.
After everything big tobacco has done over the years to hook people on their deadly products and squash testing results etc etc etc...I have no problem calling them stinkies or coffin nails or cancer sticks anything else I want to.
