Of all the People to be against vaping..

The only negative reaction I have received so far is from two good friends who were both former smokers and quit cold turkey.

I pulled my 510 out to see if I could use it comfortably in a new place..got my head ripped off by former smokers instead. They laid into me about how I should just quit cold turkey, blah blah blah..let's see last time I quit cold turkey was a year ago..look where I am now..perhaps what worked for them doesn't work for everyone.

I tried to explain what it was, how it worked, that I could slowly lower the nicotine levels until I broke my addiction..no go.

Instead found a way to get "distracted" and ran out of the conversation..not worth the trouble..lol

Non-smokers have been very nice about it and interested. And as for current smokers I talk to about it..I've got maybe 5-10 interested in this site and getting an e-cig..especially when they heard the cost difference over the long haul.

Gonna be fun talking to those former smokers every week and trying to show them how biased they are being.

Welcome to the forum Ajaxus! I bet you everyone of us here on the forum has gotten most of our negative reactions from former smokers, I think they're just jealous and think you are taking the easy way out. "Cheating" so to speak. Don't worry about it!

Thats it in a nut shell!

That would make sense. lol

I remember what quitting cold turkey was like, worst part of my life in recent years. The disgusting things I did to deal with that nicotine withdrawal I never want to do again. So yeah, I'll be sticking with my 510 this time around and take the easy way out, lol

Because misery loves company

Just always remember that cheating or not - results are results. As long as you're happier and feeling healthier is all that matters!

I have friends like that! They're the people who think that their way is the "right" way and the only way to do it :-p

Just don't let them get you down.

You should just tell them that it's a cheaper alternative to smoking, and that you feel better while using it.

I liked smoking, and I really didn't want to quit. I don't tell people that I'm using it too quit.


Unless you really plan on quitting vapping soon. Don't say that is what you are using it for.

Eh.. The biggest problem with ex smokers IMHO, is that if they see someone enjoying a cig or vaping they remember how much they enjoyed it. They are afraid of themselves so they take it out on us.
