Hipster Still Smoking Analog Tobacco

As vaping continues to gain ground as the preferred method of nicotine consumption, a small population of purists prefer analog tobacco.⁣

We caught up with local self-proclaimed hipster Will Garfield who eagerly professed his views on smoking culture. “I’m surprised how little people under 30 understand about the nature of tobacco. Many smokers have just lost touch with the smoking experience – there’s a certain warmth that only analog tobacco provides, you know? It just tastes, smells and looks so much better than these modern vape devices. Sure, they make it easier to smoke now, but you lose a lot of the essence. People used to smoke entire packs, now it’s just one thing offering dozens of ‘hits’. And that’s not even to mention the great packaging artwork you lose when all you have is a little electronic device.“⁣

Portlanders can find these retro tobacco devices, if they’re lucky, at certain thrift stores, vintage shops, and also every Plaid Pantry.
