I want to jump into this one, but in a diplomatic way, not defensively. How would you respond?

From a friend on FB (who doesn't know that I smoke/smoked/vape)

My response: Why do you make statements about those thing that you, by your own admission, do not understand?

I just don't understand why people care what others think or say...
Perhaps because ignorant people can and do make it into politics and pass restrictive legislation based on that ignorance. The more people who are actually educated on the subject, the easier it is for all of us.

Pretty much every form letter I have seen from politicians when people send them letters or e-mails about vaping says we just don't know and there aren't enough studies...

That is closed minded ignorance hard at work which is exactly what we're teying to prevent.

Vaping is sissy smoking. Either quit smoking or smoke real cigarettes. Ideally, don't hipster vape near me outside of Starbucks while I am literally reading about teaching patients about risk factors for chronic lung disease and lung cancer. I do not understand vaping AT ALL.

She drinks at Starbucks? coffee is for sissy's, drink a proper drink like aka strong percentage alcohol in large amounts from early morning to evening or don't drink anything at all.

But seriously, I wouldn't dignify that anti-vaping whiney B.S. with an answer

So what is your suggestion then? Your whole attitude on the subject appears to be rather defeatist.

I just don't care if someone tells me vaping is bad. I don't do anything. Why should I? I don't earn a living selling vaping products. It's not my job to convince people...
