My first bad vaping experience

Others might not agree with me here , but the way I see it... If you represent the man, you ARE the man... Simple as that.

You were the one setting up the tobacco advertising? You were a sales/spokesperson for a tobacco company? You installed to "point of presence" advertising in stores???

So one day you were setting up advertisements cigarette advertisements in a store, and a man called you a murderer for what you were representing? Without agents doing it's work, how exactly does evil DO it's work? Seriously. How exactly does the IRS do it's work? How do those who would do us harm work? Oh! Through their agents! You were an agent of the tobacco industry, and you got called out on it. Poor little you? I don't think so.

I bet you got paid WELL, as a poor struggling mom of three working for the tobacco industry.

Just my humble opinion.

This was before there was an effective alternative!

Didn't you buy these peoducts for years, filling their coffers?!

Your comment is most unfair.

I was vaping in a movie theater the other night (before the movie started) and I heard someone behind me say ".... is he smoking?"

I just smiled and vaped away until the movie started.

What a bunch of self righteous claptrap!

Are you sure you're on the right forum?

Calling the lady a murderer cause she is supplying a legal product is basically saying that cigarettes should be illegal. She is not killing anyone or forcing anyone to smoke. She is simply supplying a product that is still legal. Same way "agents" who supply liquor stores with alcohol might be causing thousands of deaths in teens and young adults from automobile accidents, or 20,000 bar fights and stabbings, marital abuse, child abuse and many other problems alcohol can cause. In fact with alcohol, when a person makes a decision to drink or abuse it, they often kill innocent people around them. When someone chooses to smoke, they are only killing themselves. no one us. Unless u believe the 2nd hand smoke BULL****. Should we make alcohol illegal again?

Sorry for the long post, but here is my opinion. I believe people should be educated, but be able to make their own choices. I believe the government does need to look out for our best interests, but at the same time keep our rights and self responsibility intact. Instead of making cigarettes illegal or taking away our rights to make educated decisions, They should just take away the rights of tobacco companies. They should make the product safer, and not allow the tobacco companies to engineer them in any way they want to. Same way food usually has to be inspected and follow guidelines. Then you leave the choice up to an EDUCATED consumer.

Best reply, especially if it doesn't look like an analog, "It's a personal vaporizer that is helping me get off cigarettes."
It gives them a reason to approve of it.

As far as vapinig in public places, I would strongly advise against it.

It's probably ok to, but it' s alarming in the public eye and it will just raise more controversy towards ecigs in general. Now is not the best time to do that since everyone is questioning the safety of ecigs.

I understand you want to smoke in public places, but please don't.

I fully and wholeheartedly disagree with you. How can we expect to give ecigs a good name without showing others what they are? Everyone I meet when I'm vaping loves the idea (and the cotton candy smell from the RY4 I usually vape) and is usually really interested.

I haven't had an experience where someone thinks it's bad or even gets alarmed. The worst so far is a curious dumbfounded look from some passersby, but I can't really call that a bad experience.

I see you're from Long Island. The mindset in this post completely explains with how the ecig ban in Suffolk in public places came about. Please, reconsider your thoughts.

Now, I agree, there are places where vaping is definitely inappropriate, basically anywhere that seeing smoke would be rude. But most places are absolutely fine. Having people ask you what it is isn't a bad thing; it's a perfect opportunity to inform people of this alternative.

I accidntly vaped in a store once and got soundly scolded. I told the girl it was a personal vaporizer and that was the end of it. . Another time I did it and said it was an electronic cigarette. That woman nearly went ballistic on me.

I'll bet that poor woman lives all by herself. But maybe she lives with her babies too, its just that her babies happen to be cats. LOL

Same situation, except I got a personal visit from the manager. He asked me what I was doing. I told him it was a personal vaporizer. He went away.

I had my first Really bad vaping experience out here in Long Island. I was vaping at a club with a few of my buddies the bouncer was cool and mostly every one else thought it was a hoot. That was until a anti smoking Nazi came over to me acting all interisted and ask to hold it and check it out.Long story short my Protege went flying across the room! Apparently it looks like I'm doing drugs and should not be using this! The bouncer then escorted this creature out along with her slimy friends,Im I the first to be assaulted over vaping?

& they actually thought they'd get away with doing that?!?!?!
