Why Vape?
“Nature is neither kind nor cruel but indifferent.” (Dawkins, A Devil’s Chaplain). When a species finds a niche it does what feels right. It exploits this newly found thing for its own personal gain. As a living intelligent species we harness the power of the universe by exploiting its mechanics. This gives our species an unbridled sense of clairvoyance; a god like perspective. It’s when we grab at this unfounded logic and coalesce it into something useful we transcend our past and become the intelligence we know we must be.
Smoking is not good for you. All of the evidence points to excess tar and carbon monoxide as the culprits. Over time they have quite a degrading effect on the body. Well nature saw fit to grant us with a simple solution to the problem. The many plants we enjoy on a regular basis produce certain compounds for which we smoke the plant matter. These chemicals are granted any easy exit from the plant matter with a simple application of heat. In most cases it isn’t even a large amount of heat; something akin to the oven in your kitchen, and the chemicals are free. This is far less destructive to the plant as a whole unlike when using a Bic lighter which burns in excess of 3500 degrees. In most cases the “bad” part of what you smoke are the by products of burning the plant; not the specific chemicals. It seems foolish not to spread; expand; and hold onto this logic. Even though Mother nature may have absentmindedly made this so, for the sake of your individual health and the future generations of humanity let us exploit this niche.
So you ask me “Why do I vape?” Evolution.
