      Yea works both ways.

      I’d never live with a smoker or vaper that’s going to kill themselves slowly while gunking up my house, car, PC, curtains, and even my own lungs

          “getting run over by a sedan is better for you than getting run over by a pickup truck”

                ohhhh wait, have you spent this whole time thinking I’m saying vaping is something you should pick up? Because no, I meant that its healthier than cigarettes, and you should really transition to vaping if you still smoke cigs.

                  Your phrasing implies that either is healthy at all.

                  They aren’t.

                  What you meant was “less dangerous than cigarettes.” Which is true. I’ll grant you.

                Tbf, if you spent 25yr addicted to jumping in front of trucks, yeah I’d probably recommend that while you should stop, if you need an intermediary then switching to smart cars is at least good harm reduction.

                What, do you hate harm reduction?

      Nah, the problem is that no one is comparing anything to smoking, so for her to start out the conversation by bringing up the benefit of vaping compared to smoking is a bit of a red flag.

        Isn’t he directly saying that she’s smoking, though? It seems like from her perspective he just used a pickup line about something he thought she was doing, she corrected him and (presumably) started to mention how it’s way healthier than cigarettes, and he noped out.

        Not really anything wrong here, just a bit cringe overall.

          In the first panels she is clearly not vaping, I think the pick up line is that she is “smokin’ hot” and then shes completely misinterprets it and pulls out her vape
