Ever have people try to re-recruit you?

I have a co worker who resists even the idea of vaping.(I've converted the rest of my office) He has come at us with everything from "looks like your blowing a robots d**k to your babies with have three eyes. On the other hand, I have not payed for a cup of coffee in like three months. Every morning on the way to work I would stop at the same store for coffee and a pack of smokes. The first couple days of just getting coffee the guy never said anything. After about a week he asked if I needed a pack and I told him I switched to vaping. He asked a few questions but didn't look too interested. After about a month, when I would go to pay for my coffee he would ask "just the coffee?" I would tell him that's it and he said it was on the house. Apparently his father died of lung cancer due to smoking so as long as i never buy a pack of cigarettes from him again my coffee is on the house.
Yes we do, "I am going for a ..." "fetch me a packet of fags" etc, its perfectly normal usage, I even refer to mine as an eFag.
Wow, how old are your friends/coworkers? I'm guessing pretty young.
As far as the store I'd be trying to recruit them to selling quality vaping supplies. Tell them they wouldn't be partially responsible for killing people and may actually be helping people to live.
For both of them I'd be pushing back, recruiting them to vaping just as hard. But that's just because that's how I am.
I get a little ribbing from a RYO friend but it's not recruiting or serious.

Yeah, I figured as much.
As to the other, the store you go to for your OJ probably is losing money because more and more people are not buying cigs. You were a great source of steady income. Maybe if you came right out with "If you can't get over me using an Ecig, I am going to have to get over buying my OJ and other items here". That might silence them. If not, go elsewhere.
Hard to tell you how to manage the other people in your life that ridicule the fact that you ARE bettering (is that a word?) your life. Sometimes jealousy is hard to get past. If they are truly good friends, they really should be on your side instead of against you. Just saying.
Please know that WE are Proud of your accomplishment!
Congrats!
I have not had anyone try to reverse recruit me. I have recruited three of my office mates, and two office mates wives, to e-cigarettes. So now at my office, the vapers greatly outnumber the smokers. He he he.
saw this mentality in the first month. 70% vapers at work now. smokers are the minority, and the only smokers left, are the ones who never planned on quitting in the first place. no pity for them, and thanks for paying those sin taxes for me people. if the corner store is still pushing poison on you, i suggest you find another corner store to give your hard earned money to. i occasionally eat breakfast. at a local greasy spoon. 2 people don't leave out of there without over 35 dollars being spent. i was leaving forum cards (this site) in the entrance for other smokers who might be interested in them. found out when they found the cards they took them down and threw them away. i kept my(large,loud, obnoxious, opinionated, offensive) mouth shut as the waitress tried to explain to me how the owners didn't want the cards being put in the entrance. it might detract from the dining experience or some kind of horse hockey like that. but they never hesitate to take the money from the various people who are dying from cancer in town. i ate my last meal there. found a cheaper nicer place a few blocks away. it's like George Bush once said. either you are with us, or you are with the (insert appropriate description here). worse now that i am 1 week PV free, and sitting on a 9 month supply of safety net. all this hub bub, and it's all sitting in a drawer collecting dust. even stranger than tobacco withdrawal.

I know how you feel, I'm from the Detroit area and it vaping hasn't really caught on here. I just blow them off. I think their worried that we might try to recruit them. Misery loves company, it's kinda of like when you quit drinking, you find out who your true friends are.
9 month supply of juice, and 2 mods for my safety net. got the FLU, or Plague last week. did not vape during my illness. also the second time i detoxed from nicotine without even noticing it. this time instead of 16 to 0MG, i went from 36to 0MG. as i was not in the best of shape during the week, i couldn't tell you if my illness had anything to do with not missing nicotine (again). just kind of felt a little ridiculous to not see how life is without a vaporizer in it. god helped me blow up a 12000 dollar compressor last night, just to show me how that feels vaporizer free. and all of today as we took it apart. (job like that? 2 Packs in the first 5 hours. easy) didn't even notice a need to puff on anything. given i have a ample supply of juice, i know my stuff works, batteries have a 10 year shelf life. didn't plan on the cigs, might as well remove all the work and drama, and just bite the bullet. with my safety net firmly entrenched, i can face the next 4 months (heavy stress, chain smokeromatic schedule) without the habit to hold me back. i look forward to it. people with weaker stomachs, and unsure commitment should keep vaping. i just have a little more insanity running in my veins.

Stand tall and vape on. You are better for what they are not capable of accomplishing.

This may sound a little blunt and dramatic, but the fact is: it is your problem stop worrying about what people think about you. When you look at it in the most mundane level: (although he science doesn't fully back me up yet) You're going to outlive those idiots by a good few years, let them have their 2minutes of 'fun', you'll be laughing for years when these guys are pushing up daisys.
If trying to improve my life, make myself a better person, try something new, or divert from the crowd is whatever insult these people can throw at me then so be it. I get a little embarrassed sometimes too, but I would never go back based on someones egotistical comments.
Look at it from their point of view: They could be jealous of your health or your new cool toy. They may see you as different from them and attack you for it. Nothing they can say will be based on your problems, only their own.
Stick with it because you're doing the right thing
You are part of a revolution for a healthier life, that in itself should keep the naysayers at bay.
well gee wizz I'm thinking that they didn't show the sexual harassment panda video at your work.
It's the crabs in the bucket syndrome. One crab tries to crawl out, the others try to drag him back down. All of us free crabs out here are cheering you on!
They did but everyone who could enforce it is tied up in court.
Never run into the corner store or grocery store of the convenience store out to re-recruit me maybe because around here the walk a fine line selling analogs as it is.There have been pushed to remove analog from pharmacies, grocery stores and so on - leaving them alone at convenience stores. This would be great for tobaccos stores but not sure why there has not been raised a ruckus about the other places - give that the tobacco salesmen aren't selling as much to grocery stores and pharmacies as they are selling out slowly and obviously not re-stocking.
But I have the almost constant problem in the tobacco shop I go to. SO, you say, what can I expect - they sell the stuff. True but they also sell a wide variety of e-cigs of all types and all sorts of paraphernalia related to inhaling anything. This was the same tobacco store whose owner though I smoked too much and got me involved in vaping and to whom I have paid a lot of bucks to for because they were such a big mover in my life change. As amused as I was at first about him perhaps cutting his foot off by losing money no longer selling me 2-3 packs of analogs a day, I have spend a great deal on vaping materials there.
However, I now know that there may have been some method in this that did not pan out as expected for the owner because I stopped totally with the analogs. He now always offers me a pack of my old 'usuals' and has gone to the point of showing me the cartons he stocked up on when he could count on my high purchase of analogs that are not longer moving out of his store. This is said with a pout and a bit of the guilt push. I feel bad for him but can't he return them or something? I am not going back to analogs simply because he he has stocked up on my brand back in the days. I suspect now that he thought he could get the best of both world and have me vaping as a hobby and spend money on those supplies along with the regular analog and I would spend even more money LOL.
I doubt he was plotting as such but he is sure disappointed I no longer buy analogs and reminds me everyday that they are there for me, I I probably should have a pack around. Actually I do have one from way back when i bought 2 packs the day after I started vaping 'just in case' and I never smoked the second one. Of course he does not get that
