BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: The world of popular podcasts has a recurring theme - hosts and guests puffing away during episodes, be it Joe Rogan or Sean O'Malley. Andrew Tate too finds his spot on the list as he is often seen with a cigar in his hand. However, there's one thing Tate vehemently opposes - vaping.

Tate gained significant attention when the Covid-19 pandemic was at its peak as he broke the internet with his outspoken views on gender, feminism and lifestyle. His brash attitude has attracted a legion of fans and has also left many with a bad taste in the mouth. He recently said, "You don't need a vape."

'You vape you gay'

A recent Twitter exchange between Tate and UFC fighter O'Malley has caught the attention of fans. O'Malley, known for his candid remarks, shared a strong take on vaping, stating, "You vape you gay." Tate, not one to hold back, responded with his well-known phrase, "Breathe Air," indicating his disapproval of vaping.

The close relationship between O'Malley, and Tate has been evident through their shared time. O'Malley even invited Tate as a guest on his podcast.

Breathe air."
