First time in public

[JoeDLion188]

Monday I took certification tests to help me with finding a job. The day was divided up into sections with breaks in between. During breaks I would go outside and pull out my PV. Aside from one Dramatic Cougher being silenced after I took a drag and drop my PV into my shirt pocket, there wasn't really any problem.

On the last break I went outside and was joined by three other people testing. One was a smoker, one was an ex-smoker and one was a non-smoker. The smoker had no interest in my e-cig (ironically, she didn't see why I would want to inhale "all those chemicals"), but the other two guys were fascinated, and the ex-smoker, who had quit 15 years ago but admitted to occasionally falling off the wagon, became very interested when I mentioned that you could get cartos and juices with no nicotine.

It was about this time that a security guard walked by (as I was taking a drag) and looked at the lady next me me and said; "Ma'am, the community college is a non-smoking campus," and indicated where the campus boundary ended.

With this, she gave me a dirty look and marched off as one of the guys said; "I guess you don't count."

That was a great story. I wonder if the smoker had second thoughts about e cigs. lol

Way to evangelize, Joe! I've got a couple of co-workers that I'll introduce to my eGo-T. LMAO at the comment made by the lady, concerned with inhaling harmful chemicals!!

 

[Twiztid]

I can't really say it was evangelizing, per se. It was more like someone asking about what my cool new toy was and how it worked, you know? If the smoker had actually shown an interest, I probably would have , but you will never hear the message until you are ready. My room mate has been vaping this for months and had never tried to get me to start. Now that I have, he's given me 3 manual XL 808 batteries and some samples...

And her comment about the chemicals? Well, I'm kind of a jerk so I just about started laughing in her face. The fact that she looked like she could take me in a fair fight stopped me.

 

[Dwindacatcher]

Oh god how could you use all those chemicals around those people! Murder! Hahaha good story.

 

[Dudeman]

That's the sad part. It's the smokers that look down on ecigs. Non-smokers are always fascinated that I haven't had a real cig since I started vaping. Some non-smokers have even done research on them and came back to ask more questions. It's a strange, strange world.

There are laws regarding "Lighted Tobacco". But what a great experience you had Joe.

It's a strange, strange world.

And people are stupid.

Hey, it's the truth! I know. I'm one of them.
