South Park on Vaping
South Park has never been shy about poking fun at, well, everyone, and vapers were no exception. When an episode put vaping in the spotlight, we had to watch.
Luckily, Ian was a huge South Park fan. He and the crew sat down with a section of the episode, which was new at the time, and had fun reacting to the jokes. If you like silly humor, you will probably like this one.

Why vaping made good material
South Park is an animated satire for adults that has been skewering trends and public debates for decades. Once vaping went mainstream, it was an easy target, from the big clouds and the gear to the flavor names and the strong opinions on every side.
Laughing at ourselves
Most vapers we know can take a joke. Parody works by exaggerating things that are at least a little true, like a shelf full of mods or a cloud that fills a room, and watching it together was a good reminder not to take the hobby too seriously.
It is also a reminder of how vaping looks from the outside. A little etiquette goes a long way: vape only where it is allowed, and keep your clouds away from people who don’t vape. Our vaping etiquette guide covers the basics.
