    Good One! I've used this comparison before, also.

    I tell them it's nicotine...mixed with crack ......., followed by me blowing a big hit in their face JK, I tell them "it's propylene glycol - the same thing found in inhalers and and fog machines that's been found to be non-carcinogenic and listed by the FDA as GRAS or Generally Regarded As Safe" to which they reply: "Big words make brain hurt" "fake fire stick bad!"

    I just say its my personal vaporizer.

    people are cool with that.

    sometimes, the word e-cig is too scary for people, so I don't say e-cig directly.

    (I use a mod.... so it doesn't look like a cig...which I think is a great thing.)

    I say "it's vapor... it's not smoke, tar, or carbon monoxide or anything carcinogenic, but it does have nicotine in it and flavorings... this one tastes like X"

    You are right on about the advantages of it NOT looking like a cigarette. I wonder when more people are going make that connection.

    I think its important to say its harmless water vapor.
    Don't talk about or compair it to smoking, because a lot of people don't like smoking.
    Personally, I don't like smoking...it seems gross, kills, yellow teeth, ect.

    I think its wise to work your way into explaining the process.
    you can say its an e-cig without using those words as well.
    I think its better that way.

    people can judge quickly.

    Don't lie, but expalin in an logical intelligent way.

    " "Big words make brain hurt" "fake fire stick bad!" "

    RFLMAO!!!! Look out!!!!!! Monkey with a stick!!!

    Seriously.....I also say something like :

    "It's a vaporizer....some people use them to quit smoking cig's so they call them an e-cig. But I use mine for other reasons.....like phytotherapy which is inhaling the vapor of healthfull herbs.....and also because I cannot eat food so this is a way for me to enjoy many of the flavors that I miss. "


    ps...before you ask....no I'm not on a "diet"....not that that isn't also a very valid use of this device....I have a serious medical condition and I literally cannot eat food other than one small meal a day. So my point is I agree that it is not lieing to downplay the cigarattes and present the personal vaporizer as something that also has other health benefits and is a safe (we hope) source of pleasure.

    Snips, snails, and puppy dog tails Sorry, I couldn't resist Why is it that people will smoke a cig with over 3,000 chemicals in it, and are for the most part o.k. with it, and are sooo afraid of e-cigs? I usually show them the dif when blowing thru a paper towel. The cig side is yellow and yucky and the e-cig side is just damp and clear
