There's the meme of the rich dude who is leering down towards the reader, judgementally.

Text under the image: People who smoke cigarettes judging people who vape

Sure, but I'd be willing to bet you express the same disdain for addicts of all stripes, who are predominantly impoverished. Instead of directing your disgust at the power structures and systemic issues that create the situation, you punch down.

no I don't and also I'm not rich in the slightest it's not punching down it's only cigarettes and weed that stink that bad of course I hate the tobacco companies and the government for allowing them to prey on addicts but that doesn't change the fact that it stinks and I don't wanna ever smell it or breathe in their second hand smoke

I don't like drug addicts for trashing public places, making them unsafe, for stealing to make money for drugs and so on.

Dunno if it's just some innate classism but getting threatened in the subway seems more like some druggie freaking out than a class conflict tbh.
