Why don't people on the Internet call cigarettes "fags" like we do in real life?

Only brits call cigs fags. In North America fag is a derogatory term for gays. Use the word at your peril.

@hippyjoe1955 If you say so.

@BijouPleasurette I have never judged a smoker for smoking. I am not a raving anti smoker activist. I would rather stand in a crowd of smokers than a crowd of vapers. That stuff really bothers me.

@PrivateHell Everything has a different meaning there. What about the rest of the world?

@Chevy454 That's true to some extent, but "fags" existed long before I was born. Lol :)

In the U.S. if you say, "I'm going to light up a fag" it probably wouldn't go over too well.

Cause we’re normal. And you might get locked up, god forbid you use a hate word.
