Then what do you do if/when they start in about you smoking cigarettes?

Exactly.
Never will a person be able to please everyone, for one thing the people
you are trying to please will keep changing the rules to find fault.

OP, you're clearly having a bad day. You've got some life choices to make about both the people you surround yourself with, and what motivates you and brings you happiness. It would appear that both could stand some adjusting.

 

[Rickajho]

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?

If you let them win this one, what's the next thing in line about you that they don't like which is subject to compulsory change? (This applies to both the individual and the masses.)

 

[Ryedan]

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

I'm not getting this defdock. Why do they allow other people to vape but not you?

 

[martinc]

Been vaping for a few years now and yeah,there are those people that just cant understand.

They think its made to quit whatever but I kept telling them,its an alternative,not a quit quick scheme (even though technically,we quitted the cigs) but they cant seem to process that.

I end up telling me yeah,i`m still smoking with a big sigh.

To hell with them,I usually come out with a harsh enough answer they don't touch the subject anymore but some keep coming back...have a thicker skin

I've lost too many friends and loved ones to smoking. I haven't lost a single one to vaping. My wife and kids are thrilled that I made the switch and they count more than all the others put together. Besides, isn't it kinda fun to annoy people?

It's my specialty!

 

[WharfRat1976]

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.

If I went back to stinkies this could be my excuse and rationalization for it too.

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.

In regards to the other thread - several disagreed with how you handled it. I don't think anyone
meant you were a POS and I didn't see anyone attack you. We're all of different generations
here and just as you don't understand where us older *cough* folks are coming from, at times
we don't understand where you younguns are coming from either. I meant what I said - I
would have respected the rule not to vape in the house, then I probably never would have
gone back or associated with said person again, due to the fact that he let the other guy
vape and stuff like that. It's not worth my time to worry about people like that, and it's not
worth worrying about either. It's just life, people get stupid and who knows why.
Clear your head and get some sleep. Then tomorrow is a new day yanno? What you do
with it is up to you and no one else.

If you are going to smoke, you are going to smoke, so be it...
I get attacked by nutz on a daily basis here; I don't let it bother me...

I guess all I can say is echo what everyone else already has. Toughen up man, if you let people start pushing you around now it's over. I always ask before I vape in someone else's car, house, whatever, and I respect those rules. But if they get in my face about it, or work some kind of double standard, I would blow a nice big cloud of vapor in their face and flip them the bird while I left. But then, I am kind of an @sshole. Life sucks, get a helmet.

 

[NancyR]

From what you have said makes me wonder if it isn't that you vaped in their house but you where blowing clouds in their house. If that is the case perhaps use something different when you are around them.

 

[MsLoud]

If my vaping didn't pi$$ off at least 3 smokers a day - I just wouldn't feel complete. Most of the snide remarks or stink-eye comes from those ignorant of vaping. I'm happy to educate them about vaping - even non-smokers or the worst yet - the borne_again ex-smokers...they test my patients more than most.

I'm respectful while out and about - I don't blow clouds inside non-smoking/vaping establishments - however, if you happen to wander into my sweet sweet clouds standing on the sidewalk and smart off some nonsense - don't be surprised if I start having a gag reflex because of your nasty smelling perfume/cologne.

I'm not very passive-aggressive - My therapist says I need to work on that...

because of this person, i have changed juices to "less poisonous" VG only juice no nic or flavor, and at the time of the latest incident, i was using a dripper at 1.8ohm vaping 7 watts.


no big clouds here or there. because of their witchhunt, it drove me to use VG only - which i understand is slightly more visible then PG.


what ever the case, that was 2 weeks ago - old news, only brought up for a different thread, relating to the op on his situation. i just didnt expect that to turn into another witch hunt.

 

[stevegmu]

Where are people vaping if they get confronted on a daily basis?

apparently im in hell, since i am the devil because i vape

I've only been confronted once, by a British tourist in a near empty restaurant, who was promptly told by a waiter and manager electronic cigarette use is allowed in the non smoking section...

 

[AngelicTomPetty]

I was confronted once at a bar. I went to the washroom and built a 0.0001 coil. I came back, ripped off my shirt exposing my 8-pack abs, and proceeded to fill the entire complex with MASSIVE clouds courtesty of Space Jam. I then dropped my mod before the battery exploded and ran out and jumped in a waiting vehicle to make my get away.
