E-cigs turned my friend into a raging a-hole

[Dirtybutts]

I went out with a friend to a bar the other night. We started smoking around the same time, ten or eleven years ago ( I'm 28 and he's 30). He recently bought a 510 two weeks ago after seeing the success I've had quitting traditional smoking.

We sat at the bar sharing a pitcher of beer when a couple the seats next to us lit up. My friend looked at me and whined, "Can we move further down the bar? I can't take all this smoke". Now from what I know he's been "analog" free for probably about a week, and I wouldn't be surprised to find half a pack of Reds in his pants pocket. I just sort of ignored him and continued to watch the Yankees buy another championship.

Before I knew it, my friend was lecturing and pitching his ecig to this poor couple in a way that made the late Billy Mays seem timid.

He went on and on about how great his ecig was and how he never thought he'd ever quit. How the man was trying to ban his beloved ecig. How Phillip Morris makes most of it's profits from kidnapping young women and selling their organs on the black market. Okay, I made that last part up, but he was way over the top.

I've only been vaping for about four or five months now and I still consider myself a noob to the ecig world. It really angers and annoys me when I see people who are new to ecigs or people who have recently quit take such a militant stance towards tobacco and their former smoking compatriots. I mean seriously, we all remember those annoying people who would see us light up and spew their anti smoking facts at us. Don't be one of those people.

This just cracked me up..I almost went pee in my pj's! My neighbor and I went of cigs at the same time..I used my 510 and she went on Welbutrin and the patch....Well now she is more holy than christ himself and I am the devil with my space cig! I dont even want to invite her over anymore because she wont get off my case about it..I told her this is more of a habbit at this point. Our stories are not the same but I can understand where your coming from!

Yeah, but it happens to the few and maybe the many... they find a great thing build themselves a golden calf around it... putting down their fishing poles and going on that journey of conversion.....they are a terrible bunch that feel that just because X is great for them and X is better than Y and even though they were once Y they act as though if you aint X you aint sheets.
