Disclaimer: This article is about smoking fetishism, some facts and theories surrounding it, and the possibility of a vaping fetish. If you are offended or off put by this kind of subject or are not of the appropriate audience (i.e. underage), please don’t blame us if you decide to read the article anyway.

Whether you want to admit it or not, smoking has a certain quality about it that imparts the look of confidence, worldliness, and sexuality. This could be because companies have spent billions over decades to give smoking that image in the minds of consumers. It could be something innate about the act of inhaling fire and ash and and releasing plumes of smoke.

Whatever the reason, this connection has given rise to a fetish (intense sexual association) for smoking. When exactly it started is anyone’s guess, but vintage photos of nude or mostly nude women smoking go back pretty much as far as photography itself. The point is that the connection between smoking and sexuality is not a new one.

In addition to the attitude of smoking, for men, there is a fellatio connection to the oral components of smoking. For others, the rebellious aspects of smoking tend to stroke a certain chord. For others still, the addictive (enslaving) quality of nicotine and smoking has its own sinister appeal. In almost all instances, the attitude seems more important than the act.

Is this a fetish that will easily translate to the world of electronic cigarettes? It seems feasible.

A study in 2003 found that smoking fetish videos didn’t actually require nudity to be successful. What sold the video was “the look, the attitude, the mannerism of smoking.” This implies that smoking fetishists are more concerned with the capacity of the actor or actress to embody the confidence, worldliness, and sexuality of smoking. This might mean the e-cigs, particularly those that serve as model versions of the real thing might be passable.

Here’s another interesting naughty bit to consider. Research shows that, for many smoking fetishists, the sight of someone smoking is more likely to invoke a response than the smell. This is very different from research reports on smoking addiction which find that the smell of smoking can be as powerful as the sight (or more) when it comes to creating the urge to smoke. Electronic cigarettes, with their flavored or odorless vapor, might have one up on smoking when it comes to creating a fetish. Perhaps you like smoking and fresh vanilla scents in the bedroom — well now you can have both.

There’s still some areas e-cigs might be lacking a certain power to seduce. Without the lighting of cigarettes, there is no fire and the entire ritual of getting a cigarette going is lost. Electronic cigarettes also lack approximately 99% of the risks of conventional cigarettes. For those that have a fundamental attraction to the risks and damage of smoking, e-cigs might not do it.

Still, just like smoking, perhaps what gets the engines going of a few freaky deakies now will apply to an entire community in a couple decades.
