I’ll start off my saying my Room 101 has got to be pretty big to cover all my wishes.
It’s probably been referred to before, but I would put all reality shows like Big Brother, Love Island, Britain’s Got Talent, Survivor etc. etc in Room 101.
Also all ‘influencers’ would go in there. (I’ll not have anyone tell me who/what/why I should do/have/buy something). Vapes also go in there plus all forms of cancer, child sexual abusers and anyone who tortures/hurts animals.
But Rachel dear, we are all influencers here in one form or another, to grant your wish we would all be crammed into that tiny room …to carry on influencing.
I don’t understand vaping… are you smoking? What is it…?. so strange… How does it produce smoke? I thought it was a pretend cigarette I didn’t realise it is another version of smoking… I am going to have to google…
David - I suppose I should have elaborated by calling them ‘social media influencers’. By that I mean that they use their personal credibility and audience trust to shape opinions, behaviors, and buying choices, often earning money through brand sponsorships and product endorsements. The good folk on this site advise more than influence people. Well in my opinion they do. I don’t want anyone on this site to go in to Room 101.
I don’t smoke or vape. Vapes contain nicotine which, as you probably know, is mildly addictive and thus very popular with the tobacco companies as any addictive product would be. The main difference as I understand it is that there is no tar. I suspect that somewhere down the line vaping will reap similar havoc with people’s health as tobacco did, and still does. You can’t suck all those chemicals into your lungs without some problems happening.
Was watching a middle-aged French lady vaping on a crowded café terrasse this morning - she inhaled deeply, then thoughtfully exhaled her cloud of smoke above the heads of the people opposite, but then she relaxed and blew the rest of her lungful straight across the table. Gross!
Ok, agreed, vaping into 101… I don’t see the different between cigarettes and vaping… (must taste just as bad… how odd… you just smoke but with electric… … I am so behind the times…
Have they tested what that temperature does to your internal organs? Why would you invent something as bad as cigarettes and be allowed to sell it… Maybe it is to try and help you stop smoking?.. To confusing…put it in 101 (sorry to anyone that vapes… )
And, isn’t it very annoying when you want to sit outside a restaurant to watch the world go by, only to be surrounded by smokers and vapers.
Into 101 they go.
Along with the litter they discard, packets that held the vapes, fag ends, cellophane etc.
