True enough it is hard to find those people. Buddhism is an amazing religion, and talk about complex! The teachings and values are quite simple. The implications and continued thought forms however are not... I learned a lot of my own views from Buddhist teachings. In fact a lot of us do without realizing that Buddhism was the original source. Funny how things always come full circle, another Buddhist; though originally Daoist I believe, teaching that everyone knows and loves.
Do you not drink coffee around kids, too? Caffeine is a stimulant very similar to nicotine, so kids shouldn't be exposed to caffeine either. What about drinking soda around kids? Bloomberg says that is bad for us.
I don't understand why something that is legal, intended for adults and relatively safe compared to other things humans do and consume is making a "bad impression."
I don't have kids myself, but I feel like I do not need to be doing stuff in front of others' kids. Their parents can be the bad influence. Just my opinion.
Ah, Eric conjures memories of the first troll I saw on this board. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...does-not-give-you-right-assault-children.html
One of my favorite pastimes is hanging out with the wife, playing Halo and talking smack. I never vape in front of the kids, but once they are in bed I don't see any reason to sneak around. After a couple of hours, my wife calls the living room "Studio 54" without the disco and roofies.
Recently, my son (5) asked me what the silver tubes are that I carry around sometimes, so I told him the truth. He was not impressed and could have cared less once he found out they weren't neuralyzers from MIB. I'm not as cool as I thought.
