    I stopped fawning over them when they released the " Smoking Is Cool " episode. Somebody’s getting a paycheck here

          I don’t have time to watch it right now, but from the comments it sounds like they’re just using clickbait to get to the usual antismoking position.

            It’s messier than that. They talk about why it makes you feel good, how it increases focus and then as an afterthought well it’s bad for you.

            meanwhile, they shove a red-hot poker up the ass of vaping and smoking weed.

            don’t get me wrong, i don’t smoke or vape anything, but villifying 2/3 and making a nicotine video philip morris would be prod of is HIGHLY sus.

              Yeah after watching it I didn’t get that vibe at all, sorry.

              Like, yeah they talk about the effects of it, but it’s basically your basic anti smoking ad minus the melodrama.
