Ello,
I received my mini-cigarette e-cig this week, and over the last few days I've been trying it in various places.
Day 1 - Received and charged - smoked it in the house. A few narked glances from the missus, but after explanation all was good. No problems there. She doesn't like the taste though, so still has to go outside to smoke here proper cigs. Ha!
Evening 1 - As good an excuse as any to go down the pub, I suppose. In the name of science, I say!
When I got to town, however, an attack of nerves and shyness had me 'smoking' outside anyway... what a wuss!
A few pints later, and some courage appeared from nowhere...
I smoked at my table with not a word but a few looks of shock horror. I pushed my luck by 'smoking' at the bar, and even with an explanation, we were asked to move on.
Which we did... Pub 2 - no problems at all. Top bloke at the bar was pretty interested and had no qualms with my 'e-smoking'. Next we went to the local pool hall. Absolutely no questions asked by the staff there. Not a worry, and by this time I was pretty blatant about it all! I'm not even sure they knew there had been a smoking ban... lol
Day 2 - back to work. Not recommended. You can argue the health benefits until you're blue in the face, but that realistic smoke effect has everyone paranoid! No smoking my e-cig at work (cept maybe when no one's looking - its not as if they'll smell the smoke! haha! victory is mine!)
Thank you for joining me in my first e-cigadventure.
Coming soon... e-cigging in the restaurant, on a bus, in a cab and anywhere else I can think of...
