Do you think it's ok for an idol to smoke/vape?

[taesshlong]

When Tae got "caught" vaping army was like oH hE wOuLd nEvEr but like is it really that bad? He's gonna die quick if he doin shit like that but it's his choice, and you should just leave it alone

personally, i don't agree. i would hate for an idol to lose their voice and it's unhealthy, but then again it's their body and smoking/vaping is considered a coping skill. of course it's not healthy, but it is.

 

[seonghwa_enthusiast]

Honestly I don't mind kpop idols smoking / vaping because of the stress of being a kpop idol could get to them. Them smoking & such could be a coping skill but not a good one. Yeah I don't mind it. It's their body not ours.

I would honestly be really disappointed but I guess it's their choice.
Cigarettes ruin the environment and they would also hurt the people they smoke around.
I would probably stop stanning them because I'm going to get my heart broken anyway when they get lung cancer :]
also it would ruin their beautiful voice




smoking is nasty... my parents have been trying to quit, but they still haven't yet :[ and now my brother has started smoking
so i guess it's just a problem for me because i have to deal with it in real life

 

[HeroHaikyu]

Personally, I care for idols, and don't want them to vape, but I feel like it's their choice. We can't really do much other than ask them to stop. Other than asking because we're worried for their health, there's nothing much we can do. Like I said, it's their choice, and we can try to persuade them, but it's not really our choice, is it?

 

[marsikk]

Honestly I don't see nothing bad about it, it's their choise so they desidet if they will or not smoking. It's a bad habit but if they want to smok then there is not any problem

 

[babyz]

Their choice but not the healthiest one. Personally I wouldn't stop listening to someone if I knew they were smoking.

 

[ImJustKpopTrash]

It’s their choice, even if it is a negative one in the end they’re the person ruining their body so why should I be bothered about something that doesn’t affect me in the slightest, I’d still listen to their music and Stan the person. They know the affects of doing that and chose to do it anyways. Seems idiotic to me but if they wanna go for it then sure.

 

[Naomi]

I personally don't like smoke nor like anyone smoking around me, but I mean if it's being done to cope with stress every once in a while it's fine I guess.. to get addicted to smoke everyday and possibly ruin their "voice" is what worries me. They shouldn't destroy their careers over those fleeting urges to smoke

 

[pika_chuu]

If they’re adults yeah. It’s their choice and life. It’s not good for you, but if they want to i’m not going to stop them from living the way they want.

 

[JoppingandPop]

I mean... its their choice not yours but that def messes up with the users lung and voice.

 

[ChenXiao]

i mean vaping is better for their health but they're all adults so its up to them

(like this stupid vape thing with Zhou Keyu - leave him be my lord)

 

[pika_chuu]

I mean, this is their life, and vaping or smoking is their decision. The biggest problem is that such idols are usually examples to children from school. They see that their idol is smoking or vaping, and they also want to start smoking. At least vaping is not such nocive as smoking cigarettes, so it is not such a big problem if teenagers start vaping. For example, I got my first vaping kit when I was seventeen. It was a Dynamic Vape Kit. It is a good kit for beginners who want to see an e-cigarette.

I would disagree with the fact it’s not as bad as cigarettes, but I do agree with the part about them being examples to minors.

 

[ec.li.ps.e.138]

I don't see a problem with it. It's their health, it's their life. A lot of things idols do are "harmful" -- for instance, their dieting practices. If they're choosing to do something, that's on them.

 

[Horanghae !]

I personally don't think they should they are singing most of the time and have to dance, and that uses air. It could damage their voice and lungs badly. but they are adults they are free to make their choices.

 

[chocolateez]

,it's their life, we can't control them, we are just fans, personally I don't like smoking, because it's bad for the body, but again it's his body, his life, he is an adult and me too. That's it. Same about Drinking...

 

[eclair]

Personally, I think everyone should be able to make their own decisions but I feel like most wouldn't as well being so many standards are expected of idols..

 

[KaynaBTS]

It can be challenging for idols to navigate their personal choices while also upholding the image and responsibilities that come with their status. The entertainment industry often places a spotlight on them, and fans may have varying opinions on this matter.

If you ever want to explore the complexities of idols and the expectations placed on them, I'd be happy to help or provide insights. There may be an ultimate guide to handling these situations, discussing and understanding different perspectives can shed light on this topic. Ultimately, it's important to respect individual choices while also considering the influence and impact idols have on their fans.

 

[iiserene]

Well, I have a mixed opinion. Of course, smoking has a substantial negative effect on the idols lungs and voice. But I mean, its their choice whether they smoke or not right?
Coming from someone who used to smoke, I know it can sometimes feel like it relieves stress. And, idols are always under a lot of stress in the industry. But, I know it doesn't actually relieve stress (most of the time makes it worse). Yet we have to remember the idols perspective.
After I quit smoking, I no longer believe that it helps you positively in any way. So no, I would rather idols not smoke because it can damage their lungs and then harm their vocal ability, but it is their choice. And I'm not gonna be upset/disappointed if an idol does decide to smoke.

 

[Seogi]

I am heavenly against taking drugs and all that, but once again it is the idols choice and it isn't my place to speak but I would encourage them to stop and help them get advice if they want to stop but can't. Also it can relive stress so I would also try to get another way of reliving.

It's also affect her vocal cords so I think they'd be smart enough not to affect their voice.

 

[rawrxdimnida]

like people mentioned, smokers often smoke to relieve stress. my friend told me she wanted to pick up smoking too because she felt like she needed a "break" and to "think." i can't judge her like i cant judge an idol. i personally believe nobody should be smoking considering all the harm it causes. also for an idol to do it, i understand it is their choice but i believe an idol should consider all the fans they may be influencing to do that. so many children look up to them. but also many s.koreans smoke and and more than 60% of the country drink alcohol atleast once a month. also, when idols get drunk no one bats an eye... but smoking is somehow off limits... it's a very wide topic. many ways you can look at it.
