Even though i have been at this for only about 3 weeks I am convinced that I will never smoke another cigarette. Because of this I feel very comfortable trying to spread the word about vaping and get my smoking friends to at least give it a try. So far I have "converted" two people but most of the others come back with the same few responses:
1. It looks too stupid to do in public. I generally respond by saying "So what. You don't even know the people you think are judging you".
2. vaping has not been proven to be safer than cigarettes. To that one I say "But you know how bad cigs are for you - I don't believe vaping could be worse"
3. I like smoking and don't want to quit. Not much to say to these folks.
Anyway I'd love to hear about everyone else's experience in getting their friends and families to ditch the cigs and to find out if you have found any really persuasive arguments that have helped you get the point across.
