2 years... down the drain.

[defdock]

im seriously getting to the point, im tempted to just completely drop vaping and go back to smoking cigarettes


no matter how much money i save, however many lung cells im saving, no matter how much i enjoy it, NOBODY wants the truth. i had absolutly no issues with people when i was a smoker, but now that i vape, every one and their grandma seems to want to attack on the activity and make me feel worthless and stupid for vaping.



not even worth the time to mention all the attacks recently.


giant thanks to those who support vaping and fight for it.

only you can decide what is best for you, but please go off what you want not everyone else

 

[freeall]

Those who matter won't mind and those that mind, don't matter.

 

[Jovey]

Don't give up...please?!! I know your frustrations, but take it from someone who almost lost their life to smoking, please stop caring what others think or don't think. What matters is this.....YOUR health!

So yeah, i know vaping can be frustrating at times and for numerous reasons....but don't discount the major benefits, including saving your own life!

God bless~

 

[Jimi D.]

I know the TRUTH. That's what matters. I could care less what anyone thinks of me Good luck to ya.

 

[sos2001]

I usually get an ear full of "knowledge" from people telling me how horrible vaping is for me....while they blow cigarette smoke in my face. So there's that.

You only have yourself to please and to heck with what anyone else says or does, dont throw two years of being cigarette free down the drain just cause others may not understand what vaping is all about. Vape On Vape Strong!

simply im just a nuisance to every one around me if i continue to vape - no matter what info is presented, no matter how much i bend my ... over to accommodate to their prefferences, im always a problem to them when i vape.


seeing as 99% of my day, im around people who dislike it, why should i continue?

So these people are perfectly fine with you smoking but not vaping? Do they smoke? My wife doesn't smoke and she's perfectly fine with my vaping and recognizes that it's way better than smoking. She also likes the smell WAY more It's a shame that those around you can't recognize that it's so much better. But whatever you do don't go back to smoking.

EDIT: One addition - if they dont smoke or anything do you actually vape around them? Did you smoke around them as well?

 

[dbrandt01]

freeall gave you a perfect quote you should live by.

You know the truth. You know it's helped you. Everyone else has an opinion that is irrelevant to you. Until they pay your bills each month they can keep their mouth shut with whatever thoughts they're thinking.

Becuse their beliefs wont matter when your the one dying of lung cancer.

We're on your side.
You have inner strength you need to find it.

from what i understand, the second/third hand smoke comming off the tip on my cigarette is deadlier to the parties in the room than to the person smoking it.

they want me to die, they can die with me.

yep...

some smoke, some dont.


those who didnt smoke, yes i smoked around them but not next to them and never blew it their way - even vaping, i dont vape in their face, and i dont blow it in their direction, yet im still around.

no im just a POS for vaping in someones house - "not listening to their rules" - yet they allow some one else to vape.

as to that thread - the story was to point out the fact the OP was making - the visible clouds is what "they dont like" - its not the misinformation, or any of thew other BS.







if "blowing less clouds" equates to me quiting vaping to take up smoking again, then so be it. "every ones happy" and i still get my nicotine.

 

[AngelicTomPetty]

Why?

I have never had anyone criticize my vaping. I don't vape where it might be criticized, i.e bars, inside workplaces. We dont need to vape everywhere and anywhere.

You're forgetting something very important.
You're not vaping to please them, you're vaping to get off smokes. For yourself.
To heck with what they think. You can't please everyone it won't work.

 

[Rizzyking]

So give up vaping and all the benefits you get from it and go back to tobacco to please everyone else I'm sure you'll be happier.

 

[Just Me]

Nope, nope, nope! Speaking entirely from my own point of view, I'm ecstatic that after ~45 years of tar-laden, stinky, expensive cigarettes, I'm finally liberated and approaching two years smoke-free in a few months. Nobody, NOBODY is going to take that away from me!

Your mileage may vary...

Would you have smoked in their house if they asked you not to? So wait - they allow others to vape but ask you not to? Sounds like this has nothing to do with vaping but some other issue they have.
