Even bums have adapted

[WileECoyote]

You know the old trick where a bum strikes up a conversation, asks for a cigarette and then asks for money. Well a fellow struck up a conversation about e-cigs and the difference in analogs, then after I preached, he started with the whole, "Hey I hate to trouble you guys but..." Another bum did the same thing but asked if it was menthol first then did the whole hey since I can't get a smoke, can I...." Resistance if futile.

I tell you... even the bums are "bums" these days. They used to at least clean your windshield.

I carry old disposables that I never used and give them to the bums I see.

I always keep a very high Nicotine terrible tasting throw away for just such encounters. Enjoy!

Never happened to me either Did have a bum ask me for a cigarette while I was using a ProVari.....How does that even resemble a cigarette ?

I recently had someone, noticing the 'smoke' eminating from my mouth ask me for a cigarette on the street. I just replied with "sorry I don't smoke" and held up my rather large MVP. I guess he's not yet encountered any vapers since he walked away looking rather confused.

Wrong forum. Oops.

Some smokers just home in on the vapor we exhale and probably have no idea what vaping is. I've been asked several times for a cigarette while outside vaping.

The look on their faces are priceless when they actually see what is producing the "smoke."

I've been asked a couple of times if I "had a light" while vaping, which puzzled the hell out of me......
