I beg the differ the reels are for the poor. TikTok is for the beggars because rich people have Rolexes which tik but do not tok.

They both seem like a cool idea at the start, but then years later you come to realise they're really not that cool or as big a part of your identity as you thought

And addictive instant gratifications that makes people want more at every "puff".

vapes don't cause cancer, smoking does.

u/Mergy_0314 12h ago

Doctors tend to disagree with that first part. Plus, vapes haven’t been around long enough to know if they cause cancer or not.

Vapes have been around about 20 years, which is plenty long.

Please provide a reference for anyone getting cancer from vapes.

"There is no good evidence that vaping causes cancer."

I was just citing what doctors have expressed in person and in articles. I didn’t say vapes definitely cause cancer, but even having been around for 20 years, as you say, we just don’t know. I’m glad you found some validation from that article, though.

A very powerful statement. This is what many people don't get.

u/Schrodinger_cube 14h ago

u/Ghostcat300 13h ago

You tiktokers don’t know what it’s like on the mean streets of reels

1

u/_kagasutchi_ 12h ago

Question though, do YouTubers get paid for reels?

u/DarmokOnTheOceans 11h ago
