Yep…don’t judge people.

Good to see someone make fun of the “don’t judge” phrase. AKA “shut up and let me do what I want” or “all advice is evil.”

Why do some people have helmet hair?

Re: vaping: don’t know what it’s like for other parts of N.A., but around here, vaping is 90% cheaper than cigarettes.And, I’ve heard many, many reports of people being able to wean themselves off smoking entirely, for the first time in their lives. Nicotine in vaping is not nearly so bad as all the other chemicals that accompany it in tobacco products.

Small lethality is still disgusting. I wonder if everyone can become allergic so it can all just go away.

I wonder if greg used to vape that’s wy he brought this issue up in the strip today

Oh look … Crystal is still here …

Tiffany do you realize what you just did? I’m sure Crystal can spell it out for you, but here’s a clue: hypocrite.

Repair”or“My Hammy Ad-vice”

My dad let himself get out of shape. He’s trying to quit endorphins by lowering the amount of exercise he’s getting.

Vaping helped me quit smoking a couple of years ago. A 20-year habit went poof from three months of vaping.

Now, I’ve become one of THOSE people who can smell a cigarette 1/2 mile away and absolutely hates everything about it. So…vaping isn’t so bad for that purpose.

Everyone has blind spots. It’s easy for Tiff to see Crystal’s. It’s easy for me to see Tiff’s. It’s mine I cannot see. A nice comment about human nature this strip. And it had Tiffany in it, hooray!

And now MY judgement. Tiff, it’s time for a new hairstyle. You’re in college (university) now!

I would say that vaping is a better option than smoking as less hazardous chemicals are involved, although at the same time I know someone who used to smoke about 10 cigarettes a day who now almost permanently has a vaporiser in his mouth and his intake of nicotine has massively increased. There are quite a few others with similar approaches, if word of mouth to people I have mentioned it to is correct. It is a bit of a swings and roundabouts situation.

I smoked for decades…has a triple by path….that was it and surprising..there was no with draw problems..simply cold turkey…rarly think of it anymore unless watching a old flick and all those movie stars are smoking away…and I am a turner old time movie buff..my answer if it really gets to me..a make believe drag on a but and exhale.. usually takes care of it ..like just now..LOL…

They were holding hand. She is just jealous and lashing out.

Tobacco is pretty much unique among addictions in that the drug itself is fairly close to harmless in the small doses needed to service the addiction (it’s the CO2 and carcinogenic tar in the delivery system that kill you). Vaping seems to offend some deep-seated particle of Puritan ethic that says the only thing worse than a pleasure that might kill you is a pleasure with no harmful consequences, ‘cause, y’know, if something is enjoyable it must be the work of the devil.

And no, I do not vape, nor have I ever smoked. I’m just observing a cultural phenomenon that’s become particularly visible since the invention of a low-risk way to enjoy nicotine.

While we’re at it, note that medical research has shown that people a few pounds heavier than the defined “healthy” range (by the Body Mass Index metric used by the government and insurance industry) live longer and have fewer diseases than people in the “healthy” range. This has not led to any changes in the recommendations, of course.

I want to see Tiffany in 50 years, then we’ll see.

… and now in Washington and probably in Colorado you can vape e-joints.

Young Tiff has yet to hit “the wall” when those extra calories just don’t disappear.

Now who’s judging.

I’m assuming Tiffany and Crystal are on their way to church?

As much as I dislike Tiff I got to say I understand what she’s saying – in both statements: You shouldn’t judge people who vape because like her dad they may be trying to get healthier. Those two overweight people on the other hand – is there any reason to think they’re trying to get healthier?And yes I know saying that makes me sound mean-spirited.

Also you don’t know that they may have lost 50 pounds since last year.

Vaping makes me think about the Frenchmen who came up with the idea of imported bottled water to sell to the Americans.

Tiff..Shallow as always..

Who cares what they say, we got two hotties together?

The vaping part is important. Our 16 year-old boy bought a vaporizer from a friend along with liquid containing 6mg nicotine. He had himself convinced (thanks to handy Internet sites) that it was, in his words, “110% safe” and not addictive. Of course, if he really believed that, why did he hide it from us? He had no answer for that. He didn’t smoke before using this, so he wasn’t trying to quit (great idea for those who ARE trying to quit), but it seems clear that teens in general think it’s safe, when it’s not. Likely more safe than cigarettes, but certainly not as safe as smoking nothing. So, they think it’s safe and are enjoying a non-addictive buzz from it and “look cool” to boot. What a perfect gateway device.

8 years cigarette-free, and I still want one every time I smell it. Good thing I’m broke and can’t afford cigs, even though I’m in SC (they’re cheaper here), and I have no idea what vaping.

I don’t know if I would Tiffany a hypocrite here. She is after all not talking about HER conduct, Rather she talks about her dad’s conduct and then, turns around and criticizes two other persons for engaging in conduct she does not approve. I think contradictory, self-centered thinking is probably more appropriate. What is interesting about her character (and I have to admit I am becoming more sympathetic as the Gunther-Tiffany arc is developing) is how her friend Crystal is very wise about her faults, but is such a loyal friend no matter. Tiffany is so totally clueless to how her friend knows about those faults; or maybe she is not? Anyway these two are tied at the hip in terms of loyalty. Tiffany has always been loyal to Crystal as well. Even with Knute, who is beyond being put off by Tiffany. He cares about Crystal and she about him no matter. Ooops, I did not intend to write this much on Sunday so bye for now (lol).

Addicts do all kinds of things that normal people would not, until they themselves engage in addictive behavior. My advice is to say, “there but for the grace of God, [or whatever you believe in]go I”

Whoops, excuse me, I was looking for the Luann comic strip comments and ended up in the Betty Ford Clinic. I’m way too evil to be here…………….Cheers.

E-cigs are the tobacco companies’ last gasp to try to regain their shrinking market. Don’t believe them!

I vape. And the thing is, I never smoked. But I started getting very tempted when I had a very stressful job. I found that just giving myself the illusion of smoking took the edge off for me. I have the kind of e-cig that looks like an actual cigarette where the end even lights up as you drag. Those ones that look like mini-hookas don’t cut it for me. Oh, and I don’t inhale, either. I tried that and I choked on the stuff.

If people wish to kill themselves, that’s between them and their deity.,Vaping doesn’t stink up the place as badly as burnt tobacco.

That’s between them and me..ALL HAIL VAPING INSTEAD OF SMOKING

Congratulations, but you were neither an alcoholic, or a true nicotine addict. I am so sorry about your wife, going to meetings and reaching out might have helped her. I know this is very sensitive, but I know people who have done what you did and its great and God bless them. I know many, many, many more who could not, but have been sober, truly sober, and/or clean with help including meetings. I don’t judge who has stronger will or not, only say a little prayer for those who can quit such self-destructive activity in any way that truly works.

That is not an addiction, its living life on life’s terms and enjoying the gift of each day. Good for you. And of course you are not an addict, if you were you would have had to learn that dude. Trust me I know. -:)

Oh God I miss good cigars too. Not enough to try them anymore, but a really good, smelly stoogie, along with nice red wine is nearly as good as good sex. I can do the sex, but I don’t do the other stuff anymore. I do know how compelling things can be though. And it is not strange at all, it’s totally human.

My thanks to the Navy…..they have the best medics, and my brother was a sailor.

Hahaha, smile

Hi Luannfan1212, I found your post about the friendship between Crystal and Tiffany very helpful. I used to be really down on Crystal because she seemed to be amusing herself at Tiffany’s expense, cooly cutting Tiff down when the opportunities arose. But after reading your post I thought about it, and it’s not so different than the Luann/Bernice relationship, and I’ve always thought Bernice a real friend to Luann. Though, Tiffany didn’t mention Crystal during her confession of loneliness to Gunther, that doesn’t mean that Crystal isn’t her only other friend.

Still, I would like to see the Tiff/Bernice relationship grow and thrive. They are hilarious together, and I think they really have a lot to teach one another. Plus, they are so cute when they are arguing, ha ha;)

No eclipse here, just clouds.

SPOILERS.....Back to the other campus this week. It’s about time!

We all judge. May not be fair, but well all do it in our own way.

Where is the evidence that says Vaping is bad, writers pushing there personal views.
