Why is vaping so looked down upon in society?
I'm not talking about the health implications, it's just that my friends vape, and everyone called them idiotic beanbags. Is there a reason?

I see these trends on the internet of everyone hating something with no apparant reasoning behind it, like Fidget Spinners, Pineapple on Pizza and Vaping. Is there a reason there's so much hate? Are we just addicted to salt?

because it's too cringy for smokers and unfun to be around for non smokers.
it's like driving scooter. why not just get a bike or motorbike and stop being a ♥♥♥?

Because people like to judge trivial s*** for no reason. All you have to do to get flamed on the Internet is say you like to watch anime.

And by the way, there's nothing wrong with pineapple on pizza, I eat Hawaiian pizza all the time.

Let the salt flow!

A lot of it is there's already a heavy stigma against smoking in general, but vapor pens also carry the same connotations hoverboards, trenchcoats, dogecoins, and trilibies have in American society: they're seen as trashy things that belong to manchildren who peruse the Internet stirring up trouble and look up to Rick Sanchez and the like, effectively making them red flags that the person who owns them might be a terrible person. That said, just like owning a lever-action shotgun doesn't necessarily make you a cowboy or owning an electric car doesn't necessarily make you a green party hipster, just because you do own something related to that unfavorable circle of the Internet doesn't automatically put you in it.

The Fidget Spinners thing is more from the backlash from the neurodivergent, who see them as becoming just toys to pass around on schoolyards rather than tools to deal with dissociation, and the clash they had with kids who want them to just be considered toys like Rubik's Cubes or the like and don't get why people with mental illness or folks on the autism spectrum deserve toys that nobody else can play with. This ensuing clash kinda ruined the appeal to neurodivergents, who have taken to the decidedly less toylike cubes or coils.

It's mostly due to how people tend to use it in-doors, annoying everyone else in the building.

This one time I was in a shop while someone was sucking down this gag inducing "fake fruit" vapour and blowing it everywhere. I actually had to hold my breath in so that I don't gag something fierce.

Vaping should have the same restrictions as smoking (and it does over here). If one wants to do it, fine, but don't do it indoors and don't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ blow the vapour everywhere like an entitled little ♥♥♥♥.

I would rather have someone to actually blow cigarette smoke in my face than whatever that git was vaping. It was really nauseating.
