Cruelty to a Vaper!

[GinnyTx]

Ty one of my favorite Cosby lines..(and I can't talk about him..too soon, he broke my heart)

Poor taste in post. I take it back.

Did she have a real reason for not allowing it?

The only reason she gave to me was that she didn't want the vapor stinking up her car. No matter what I said, the answer was NO. (Her car, her rules) She is an adult. I had no choice but to respect that.

 

[Rotowoman]

sorry your daughter is not more respectful towards you ... kids can be selfish

I can't honestly say that about her. She is very respectful towards me. She looks out for me a lot. In fact, I'm starting to feel a little selfish myself whining about how I couldn't vape.

I hate to hear about parents and siblings getting into the "me/mine, because-I-say-so, my rules" structure of dialog.

Is it a strong flavor, or was she not wanting to see the vapor or just against the idea? It's still 70˚ in Florida, and cracking a window was not an issue with my family and father-in-law during our road trip on Friday.

My wife will tell me if she thinks one of my flavors stink, so I'll switch to one she can't smell. Every once in a while, I'll ask her if she thinks this one stinks. She'll either reply "No." or "I don't smell it".

I would just take my own car.

I'm not saying you should have just vaped in the car anyways, but you are well within your rights to whine a little about it The key things are, you're doing something to improve your health, not smoking is hard, even when you CAN vape. Now you know you can go awhile without it, in a car, feels good doesn't it?

I always have nicotine gum on hand just in case

shoot i wish my mom vaped in my car. my car still smells from her stinkies yesterday

Sounds like someone needs a reminder in how Wills work.

I agree! I can't even imagine my son being that cruel or disobliging to me. Even if he didn't want me to smoke/vape in his vehicle, he'd stop every hour of his own free will just to give me a break.

That sounds awful. Seriously, a car trip that long is torture anyway, not being able to vape…I might have just stayed home TBH.

I did totally do that little bit of ejuice on the tip of my pinkie, rubbed over the gums thing on an airplane a few weeks ago. I was DYING and afraid to try to stealth-vape, though I've heard others talk about doing it on planes I didn't want to risk it. It tasted horrible, and I figure it probably isn't too smart…but it did the job at the time.

These types of threads are always interesting to me, because as vapers most of us are always quick to claim that we should always be respectful and courteous to non-vapers, be it when we are close to them, or in their personal space such as a home or vehicle. Yet, when a non-vapor asks us not to vape while in their personal space (in this case, a vehicle) for whatever reason, let me repeat that.....for whatever reason, we don't like it.

In fact, we don't like it to the point that just hearing a story about it, we then find it necessary to make disparaging comments about the non-vapor who had made the request. Unreal.

 

[AndriaD]

I didn't make any disparaging remarks, just because it's the OP's daughter. I said I can't imagine my son being that cruel to me -- it was the OP who used the word "cruelty".

Just as it's necessary for us to be courteous to them, it's also necessary for them to be courteous to us, and 6 hrs in a car without a vape is not courteous at all. Personally, I'd have been claiming to need to pee every hour -- which isn't really that far from the truth anyway.

I never said YOU made disparaging remarks, but there are posts on this thread where the daughter is being referred to as cold-hearted, selfish, and self-centered. On a side note, whether it is the OP or anyone else, IMO, using the term "cruel" or "cruelty" because someone couldn't vape for a few hours is a bit over the top.

I would have made her stop at every single highway rest area along the route, and made it known in no uncertain terms how inconsiderate and selfish her stance against vapor is. It's not smoke and she needs to be educated about it. She sounds like one of "those people", who have been misled by the ANTZ and nanny types of people.

I'd have let her know that she is making the holiday very unpleasant, and that next year maybe she wont have you to kick around anymore. Say... well maybe I shouldnt have quit smoking if thats how youre going to treat me for using odorless water vapor in your precious damned car. Or words to that effect, I just would have thrown a fit and she would have known damn well how unfair her stance on vaping is. I would also seriously consider telling her turkey day is going to be at your house next year because of her feelings about vaping.

One of my daughters always complained about the smell of cigarettes when I still smoked and would make me smoke outside when we visited her home. She's not the same about vaping and wouldnt dare make me go outside with my vape. If she did, she knows she'd be telling me not to stay around and visit, because thats what I'd probably do.

unreal? ... sorry, I just don't have the same opinion when it comes to Moms.

As far as I'm concerned ... letting Mom vape in the car would be a very small sacrifice on her part to provide a more comfortable situation for her Mom.

sorry, I call it as I see it ... just plain selfish

Genius !

Can you imagine a driver saying "Well, you can just hold it until I stop !" ...

And it gets you a vape break even when you're the driver ...

 

[smacuser]

I'm not sure if maybe a little discussion before the trip might have developed into some short of comprise.

It's amazing how much you appreciate/enjoy something when you are forced to go without it for a while

As for the not being able to vape in the car, I find that a bit annoying as its the result of assuming its the same thing (not trying to offend) I could see if you were blazin clouds, blinding her or something to that effect (which I severely doubt you would) Granted though, it is her car. I was in a friends car (who is an ex-smoker for many years) He allowed me to vape and commented that it was a surprisingly pleasant smell.
