1- can I try it? No! Your breath smells like an ash tray and I have a bond with my device that I don't like to share

2- "you can't smoke that here " not a question, but whatever. It's not illegal drugs and it's not smoke.

3- does it work? I actually like answering this one, because yes, it worked for me, and if you open your mind and body to a new form of habit it may work for you

4- what is that thing? It's the bomb baby, and I'll be buried with it

Am I missing any annoying questions you get asked? Of course I am

I keep a handful of "condoms" that the local vape shop uses on their drip tips at their taste test bar with me so if someone wants to try it I'm always happy to let them have a vape. The vape shop just gave them to me and I'm sure I have sent them lots of business and maybe saved (or at least lengthen) a few lives.

What I find strange is we still see people smoking on TV shows but I have yet to see someone vaping?

better to just assume ALWAYS that if you cant smoke there.. you shouldn't vape there. Because vaping in places people dont smoke, just incites them to be even more anti-vaping, which puts them in a very foul mood to be educated otherwise.

Vexxiss, I've seen Elliott vaping on Deadliest Catch and Zeke on Bering sea gold.

A guy I used to work with started vaping and then got cancer (totally unrelated) and this idiot we worked with thought the ecigs did it to him and was telling everyone that's what did it.

My Mother died of lung cancer and she never smoked a cigarette in her life (or was around anyone that smoked she was very allergic to cigarette smoke). I haven't seen TV vaping yet but it sounds like it is starting to happen which is a good thing.

You know those have poison in them right?



You know those don't actually help you quit smoking, right?

Yup, I have actually heard that one before. I love to tell them that they're looking at living proof that it did indeed help me to quit smoking tobacco products.

But my favorite is just when somebody asks me if it works, and I go into a big spiel about how not to waste money on cig look alikes like the blu's and Fins etc and just jump straight into a device they can put a tank on, and put their favorite flavored liquid into and how it worked for me once I gave up trying with the Blu's and Fin's.

My brother had a major stroke in June, and my wife and I were sitting on the tailgate of our truck smoking tobacco cigarettes when one of the Hospital guards came by and said that we couldn't smoke anywhere on the grounds, including the underground garage. We apologized since we didn't know and she went off on her way making her rounds. Several weeks later we were sitting on the tailgate in the underground parking garage vaping and the same guard pulled up and said something like "I'm pretty sure I've seen you here before and told you that the hospital has a no smoking policy anywhere on the grounds", to which we held up our vaping devices and she asked us what they were. We explained, and she went on her way.

Had a lady ask me "Did you know those will give you pneumonia"? Was so ignorant I thought it was funny, but really it's sad what the public image is of vaping right now. Really hope we can turn that around.

I replied with the kindest most respectful tone I can gather and said, "there's a lot of good research out there, you should check it out." and mentioned CASAA and ECF.
