Feeling weird vaping in public?

[MamaBird]

I don't really get anything negative from people... But I do have people constantly ask if they can try my flavors...

What I have found, if YOU treat it as something to be ashamed of...Others will find the negative. But if you are open and honest...even enthusiastic about it, then you get positive reactions.

But that's pretty much with anything

I've gotten a few curious looks when I'm in public, but I haven't gotten any negative feedback. Most people tend to smile and congratulate me on quitting analogs. I am new enough to vaping that I am not bothered by questions from anyone who is interested. My friends who smoke, and haven't tried vaping since e-cigs first came out (and sucked), are starting to really get interested in switching now that I keep raving about my PV and all the flavors I'm vaping.

That has got to be one of the nicest things about getting older...... no longer worrying about people looking at me or judging me.... They may still look, they may still judge, but they sure as heck don't get to tell me what to do......

Haven't really gotten much interest my vaping, but the couple that have been somewhat negative were smokers and like someone mentioned already, I am not going to take advice, or criticism, from a smoker......

I definitely felt that way the first week but now it's one of the things I like most about vaping. The majority of my friends smoke but really I was my own worst critic. The social part of smoking is one of the things I thought I would miss most but in the same way bumming a lighter starts a friendly conversation so do questions about my ecig. After hearing more stories and people asking questions, not to criticize but to actually make a major difference in their lives and the lives of their family, I now love telling people what it is, why I love it and how they can start. If someone were to actually criticize, I'd just walk inside still vaping while they puff away in a foot of snow. In the end it's rare I hear a negative comment, I can't think of an exact instance which shows how much I care, it was mostly in my head.
