When I was little, it was always weird to me how it felt as if people who smoked cigarettes were in a sort of club together. The act of going somewhere to go smoke seemed like it was hangout. As I have grown up, I have realized how right my younger self actually was. Obviously I did not come close to grasping the full concept, but my base idea ended up having a large amount of truth to it. In middle school we were taught to not smoke cigarettes marijuana because of the dangers that they could present. Fast forward a few years to highschool and I had already indulged in both. Because the introduction of widespread commercial e cigarettes occurred at the exact time as I began school, cigarette use by people in my school was fairly uncommon, not to say though that the occasional one or two was not lit up. But like I said, for the most part people stuck to vaping. It is important to note that it was not a small portion of students who would use one. Honestly, if I were to guess the percentage of people who owned one I would say it was around sixty to seventy. Because of the vast amount of people who had one, more often than not if you were to talk to a random person you would already have something in common with them that you could chill and do. This is where the idea that I had earlier about how people who smoked were in a club comes in to play. It goes back to the basic instinct that we all have to be included in things. Back in the day when someone was gonna smoke a cig, people would join him or her and smoke together. For someone who does not smoke they are missing out on that move. Vaping basically took this idea of the club and decided to inject steroids into it. All of the nuisances that come along with smoking cigarettes were seemingly gone in an instant. There are obviously a lot of differences between the two, but there are basically two that completely changed everything. The first, and probably the most important, is that a vape does not have nearly as much of a distinct and lingering smoke. The fact that someone is not actively smoking something allows them to have full control over how they are using it. The second is the ability to have a large amount of juice on your person. With the way that most e cigarettes work, if a person wanted to they could always have something to hit on their person. The combination of having unlimited resources and the ability to hit it whenever and wherever lets people hang out and have a smoke session at any time. Because of this, owning a vape is the perfect icebreaker because of the fact that about seventy percent of the time it leads to a chill session.
