They say we look ridiculous, Really???

[RattlerX]

Change is the hardest for some….I am not concerned if vaping looks different. I feel great and my family is proud of me. I spent years searching for the magic smoke that would make me stop the analogs only to find it was vapor I should have been searching for.

I would like everyone to understand but if they don't that is ok. In the end I am hear sharing stories and laughs with people I may never see but a virtual pat on the back from someone who has been there means more to me than some twit who will never know what it is like to beat an addiction.

I think people look ridiculous smoking cigarettes now and quite frankly, at 45 I couldn't care less what they think of me!

ROFL, just ignore what people think, anyway we are doing this for ourselves, are we not?

Ten years ..... no, five years from now vaping will be commonplace and fully accepted in public. There will still be some smokers, but the stigma will be even more then than now. vaping will be accepted. Even non-smokers will be vaping recreationally for "flavors".


Waiter at a restaurant: "Desert for you sir?"

Customer: "No thank you. I've got Banana Nut Bread in my Kayfun."

Waiter to his partner: "And you my lady?"

2nd customer: "I'll pass too. I have Fresh Apple Pie in my 91%."

I am loooong past caring what strangers think of me.

Edited to add:

I'm sure that I look no more ridiculous than the woman in dirty PJ's at WalMart. :shudder:

Lol. That was actually more of a contrast than a comparison.

(And I'd much rather spend the day with a vaper than a woman that goes to WalMart in dirty PJ's!)

So smoking a cigarette looks better? No haha, nonononono. New things will always look ridiculous at first but they're going to have to get used to it. We want a healthier alternative and were going to vape it, I personally don't think we look that ridiculous at all. In fact, we look better and smell better and are way healthier than anyone smoking cigarettes.

Plus we get to vape things like Creme Brulee, chocolate/banana, french vanilla and on and on and on. YUM!

She's probably on some WalMart forum typing "I'm sure that I look no more ridiculous than that guy with a battery in his mouth."

No. What really looks ridiculous is a grown woman standing in her kitchen bending over the electric stove, singeing her eyebrows and hair and trying desperately to light that cigarette on the burner when the lighter conked out and there are no matches in the house!

Yeah. Except, I've done that. ugh.

What looks ridiculous/ gross is the dark brown nicotine stains i had all over my fingers; nobody wanted to shake my hand-but those stains are totally gone after just a month. Imo a classy black evod does not look ridiculous-everybody wants to know what it is. (Not a huge vaping scene where i live).

My wife and sister-in-law would give me greif over my battery/tank on a lanyard. After a week or two it stopped. Coworkers have said that it looks like I'm playing a clarinet. Then they aak me where they can get a setup like mine. Its kept me off analogs since thanksgiving. I think the most ridiculous looking activity is plonking down $5 a day to smell like a bowling alley.

 

[CalamityJess]

How can anything this pretty look ridiculous I ask you...

 

[Ohms Lawbreaker]

Anyone old enough to remember when Walkmans first came on the scene? That was the first time people really started to walk around in public with head phones and it looked ridiculous, just like vaping -- which looks ridiculous to me. But I could care less how it looks because cancer don't look too cool either. Well, now headphones are commonplace and vaping will soon be too. So there ya go.

(Yeah, kids, there was something before the iPod and the mp3 player called a Walkman. It played maybe a few hour's worth of music if the analog file did not get permanently eaten by the hard drive, is the best I can explain it.)

 

[jensy]

I think I look dam sexy doing it. Ah ,vaping I mean.

 

[McFeely]

There needs to be a good documentary made that includes older vapers and leaves the cloud chasers out.

We got a long road ahead of us.

 

[Samariel]

People can make fun of us all they want, but I'd rather look ridiculous than to look like my brother in law did as he was dying of lung cancer.

I look ridiculous. As it's first thing in the morning here, I look like Don King playing some sort of strange penny whistle.
