First infomercial

[Keeferes]

Just saw my first infomercial for e-cigs. It was for a cig a like by the name of Alternacig. I don't like they they are advocating using it in a movie theater and etc. They even have some testimonials of people advocating vaping on planes. Anyone else seen this infomercial?

Not yet..... the infomercial is not doing vapers any good if they are advocating vapoing in venues where it may cause others to get upset thinking it is smoking. I've only seen a few commercials on TV with celebs touting the advantages of vaping so far. Will have to keep an eye out for what you saw.

I advocate vaping on planes (specially very long international flights)
movie theatre would be ok, if the guy in front doesn't have a cloud chasing contest.

I haven't seen the commercial, but that highlighted portion bugs the crap out of me.

I'm all for individual freedoms, don't get me wrong. I'm also all for spreading the knowledge that Vaping is a much healthier/safer alternative to smoking. But, cause there's always a but, advocating do it anywhere you feel like it is not the correct response right now. With all the proposed regulations trying to be placed on us, I can't see vaping away wherever a person wants being helpful. It's still a new technology, and if we want it stay as a viable solution/hobby, I personally think we need use a little restraint. As it gets more approval, perhaps we'll see a vaping area in airports, or options to sit in vaping sections on a plane. But with all the misinformation being spread right now, I just don't see it being helpful at this point. I'm sure I'm not the only one that would go straight back to analogs if vaping gets banned. I'd prefer to not do that.

This is starting to get into "personal space" territory. Vaping is still so new and on the edge so to speak and as a group vapers must be very aware of others feelings and biases toward vaping. We should not just vape anywhere we want just because we think it's OK. That to me would be a recipe for trouble. At least ask first and even beyond that try to find out if the space you are in does indeed allow vaping.

I hope I would not go back to analogs after all this time, but Keeferes said what I was trying to say so much more elegantly. Thanks very much Keeferes for hitting the nail squarely on the head!!

No if ands or butts, some people think they are the center of the universe.

 

[horton]

Amen to that, mare ze dotes. And we all know what will happen if many people of that ilk try to impose their view of the vaping world on others....lol

Silly commercial. Found it on youtube.

- "Each cartridge equals over one and a half packs of cigarettes!"

Funny how all ciga-like brands seem to agree on this hyperbole.

 

[horton]

At least she doesn't have to worry about burning up the bed if she falls asleep vaping....lol

That infomercial was so well put together and so convincing I ordered one for myself. How could I resist such a great deal?
I'm such a sucka fish!
