"ecigs are bad for you because they are made in china"

[goober]

is what my boss said to me today. LOL. How do I respond to that...I mean i know how to respond to that, but I can't really argue because that will create some bad blood. And hes an old korean guy so they dont like to ever admit they are wrong about something, but his reasoning for why ecigs are bad is just ridiculous lol.

whats the craziest reasoning you have heard about why ecigs are bad?

 

[MMW]

How many battery operated products does he use that were made in china? None? I'm guessing quite a few. Smile and wave!

"E cigs are worse than cigarettes, that's why I'd rather stick with cigarettes." A quote from a former co-worker.

 

[ismokeinbinary]

I've gotten the "You're sucking on a battery, so the battery acid is in the smoke!" a few times, in which case i disassemble my vape and show them how absurd that statement is. I have also gotten the "Scientists have proven those things are worse than cigarettes." and in that case I direct people to Dr. F's studies and they usually shut up. I have only been told ecigs are bad from smokers, I feel like they see ecigs as a threat to their cigarette habit, I also think they're a little xenophobic.

Ask him if there is a Korean e-cig, you could try.

 

[roxynoodle]

The best thing to do really is just to say, "Ok.". They can't continue arguing with that.

Historically, there IS a lot of bad blood between the two countries. I don`t want to suggest that`s why he responded the way he did, but it would be best of you stayed as neutral as possible. Maybe buy an American made mod? LOL.

I don't listen to stupid people, so I never had to deal with anything stupid they've said

Ask him to clear away everything 'Made in China' at his home and his workplace.
When he's done contemplating blank walls for a while he might be willing to join you for a good vape

If the guy is your boss, I suppose your options are limited (calling his statement absurd on its face is probably out of the question). But is this a circumstance in which his opinion actually matters?

So is most of your food and medications.

 

[AzPlumber]

Tell him the battery in yours is made in Korea.

"I heard someone smoking an e-cig drowned because of all the liquid in his lungs..."
See they are dangerous

I had a wise boss once (most weren't wise) who often said "If it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter".

 

[crxess]

My reply would have simply been okay

whats the craziest reasoning you have heard about why ecigs are bad?

(1) You know those things blow up, don't you?!

(2) They have nicotine in them!

(3) You don't know what's in those things!

(1) You know those things blow up, don't you?!

(2) They have nicotine in them!

(3) You don't know what's in those things!

(4) They have antifreeze in them!

(4) They have antifreeze in them!

I always love that one, and then explain. IF their eyes fade out, then I tell them antifreeze also has water in it so is water poisonous?

 

[Woofer]

is water poisonous?

Yes it is, poison is all about the dose.
Several have died from over hydration in recent times.

Yes.... it can be , here is one incident... But there are many more.
