Do people judge you for vaping?

[Tommy-Chi]

Sure. If you play strictly by the rules, you still have the right to blow ridiculous clouds wherever vaping/smoking is generally allowed. This is your freedom.
But if you start to p**s off enough people by cutting into their freedom to live without annoying vapers, your freedom to behave like an a***ole will end. Sooner or later. Annoy enough people, and the rules will change. Most probably not in your favor.

I guess reading the entire post was too much for you. I said as much in the very last sentence.

WHO READS YOUR B.S. ANYWAY?

I stopped caring what other people think of me many years ago.

 

[Skeebo]

If people do judge me they won't say anything about it. While I am a very nice person my appearance may lead others to think otherwise.

I guess that's why I always get followed in stores.

I used to tell my kids "If you find you're the smartest person in the room, time to find another room."

I was outside at work one day, enjoying my vape break, when the safety director for our airline walked out, on the way to his car. He walked up to me and said, 'You know those things blow up, don't you?'

Which begged a return question from me, 'Then why are you standing so close to me?'

Oh snap ... superb comeback!

Don't know, don't care! Those that ask about it get an advocates side of the story from me. I usually end that with telling them I would feel safer in a room full of 1000 vapers, all blowing clouds for an hour, than be behind any diesel or gasoline car running for 30 seconds.

I’m at the point in my life that I could care less what people think of me. That’s a great perk of aging. Not giving a damn lol!!

 

[Nathan Tipping]

I've never had any negative comments when I vape. However, I don't care about what anyone says about me vaping! I enjoy it.

...croaks at me angrily with a scowl on her face, "Those things will kill you quicker than cigarettes, you know!" Snide.

My response would have been "Why did you assume that I'm not suicidal?"

Been a mech mod user for 10 years now.
When someone says "those things blow up"
I just say "hasn't yet", and let it go at that.

Some of my friends are avid smokers. Some smoke weed some smoke cigarettes but everyone I know kind of looks down on vaping. I’ve had some people tell me that vaping will give me lung cancer and they would prefer if I just went back to smoking cigarettes. I really don’t care about any of this because I’m use to it. But I want to know what your experiences with this are

No one, not even my doctors, have looked down on me for vaping...

Most people I've ran into ask questions about it, but no one's been judgy.. one person said they thought it was worse than smoking, but I just used it as an educational opportunity and told them what I know, and went about my business.. it was a positive encounter in the end.

 

[Zutankhamun]

I have never been judged. I think I must be in year 6 or 7 now.
My doctor advised me to continue when they saw mine but that was all those years ago

the only person that judges is myself.
I do sometimes wonder if I should quit some time. No way in the world for cigarettes, so glad they have helped me shake that but
I think I need to do some reading. Have any other studies been published recently?
I think the last I read parts of would have been PHE advocating vaping some time back

Question: Do people judge you for vaping?
Answer: Who cares?

 

[Milou]

Tell them that medicines can come via this method and do.
My COPD medicine came in a 'mist' making device. It's like a vape but it sends the vape/mist out into your mouth/lungs directly. It's a twist load/push button hand unit. Quit smoking started vaping when I had to inhale meds every day. 3 yrs later for me, don't need the COPD medicine now. Still vaping though.

When people THINK about judging me about vaping, I start judging those people about their drinking. Conversation usually ends at that point.
