There's the meme of the rich dude who is leering down towards the reader, judgementally.

At the end of the day, the modern hate for nicotine addicts is based in classism, as is most hate for addicts. Look at the demographics at the picture is clear. Ya'll just hate the poor and disenfranchised and look for excuses to paint over it.

Idk man cigarettes smell fucking awful. Vapes at least don't smell awful and aren't as bad for you.

Then explain the hate for those who try to switch to vaping. It is classism, through and through.

the hate is about teens who vape as a trend and how marketers did that intentionally with bright colours and fruity flavours and young attractive celebrities popular with teens younger people were less likely to smoke every year more and more disgusted by it then scumbag marketers took vapes and turned them into a trend and now kids are back to smoking it's better sure but it's still bad and most vapers aren't doing it to quit smoking eventually or even just to atleast switch to vapes most started with vaping vapes aren't just a better alternative to cigarettes and maybe a path to quitting anymore they're now the tobacco industries rebrand
