Rec | VAPES ARE TACKY

🚭

Rec'd on 💎 what's something you consider tacky yet has been normalized, but it's still tacky nonetheless?

i’m sorry to my nicotine addicted friends, but you see the most gorgeous people out in public and then all of a sudden they start sucking on a fluorescent highlighter looking thing and now the whole place smells like tutti-fruiti. this especially applies to men in suits and women who are dolled up, it just removes the elegance from their appearance. (ik i’ll get hate for this, but the action of smoking i think just looks tacky—and drug use)

Yessss. In a way I feel like the look is infantilizing. It’s made of colors and has the flavor of a marker. You look like a baby. Grow up at least, and smoke like a real grown up (I’ve never smoked in my life and people smell yuckee regardless of them inhaling on a cigarette or a vape, sorry but stop. You swear you cover it up with perfume, no you don’t).

!?Smoking casually?!

Disclaimer: I’m feeling pissy & this is an opinion I dont fully take seriously cause ppl should do what they please as long as it doesn’t cause harm ~essentially a rant abt a pet peeve~ To me the act of smoking cigs if ur not already addicted to cigs is wildly goofy… *the obvious :they’re addictive and a money pit *the look: it can be painful watching someone bum a cig from me and A) puff at it/ theyre clearly in pain B) they light it and effectively let it burn away C) throwing half a cig on the ground *vibe: I know one girl who will always ask to bum at parties which would be and recently she started buying her own SHE WILL NEVER SHARE W ME AND SHE DOESNT EVEN ACTUALLY SMOKE very much the kind of person who lights a cig just to take an aesthetic photo with their coffee or a cocktail and their brand new copy of The Prophet

on reading: Vaping immediately affects vascular health and oxygen levels, study shows, even without nicotine

I could use the argument that I think people who are grown adults and vape, look ugly, in order for them to stop doing it. But I'm not gonna.

Vaping

this is, of course, a shameful thing to admit. but, in the words of carla bruni, “i adore to vape”.

accepting that you’re not trendy and cool

tried reading dante alighieri’s inferno. key emphasis on tried. i got bored and realised a story written in poem form is not my typa beat. i tried because it seemed like what all the indie hipsters who are well versed would read, and that i would look cool and niche—but it just cost me $25. i prefer crazy detailed paragraphs rather than a line by line story. anyways

stop saying “i’m sick”!!

saying “i’m sick” when you’re sick is boring. instead, here are some more funky fresh and cool ways to disclose that your immune system has been highjacked (it’s time to revive these sayings from the dead!): “i am indisposed” “i am taken ill” “i am feeling out of sorts” “i am suffering from a bilious attack” “i have been seized by an ague” “i am afflicted with a malaise” “i have taken to my bed” “the vapours have overcome me” “i have a touch of the influenza” “the rheumatism plagues me” “i am laid low with a fever” “i am afflicted with a troublesome ailment” you’re welcome
