Look at it this way. When you were first trying to learn about vaping, did you even call it vaping? I think most of us googled electronic cigarettes. Good way for the newbies to find us with all the garbage out there from the ANTZ.

The term "e-cigarette" is so ingrained through colloquial usage, no point in fighting it. BUT, the same could not be said about "e-smoking". We don't need to feed into, encourage and adopt the ANTZ hype.

That is what I am addressing. It's going to be that much harder to argue that what we do is not smoking, if people become too ingrained with the idea that it is.

It's far easier to teach properly from the beginning, than it is to unlearn bad habits and replace them with good ones. I for one do not relish the idea of having to play alchemist and try to hodge podge some juice out of stuff from wally world, by us getting banned from too much fear/uncertainty/doubt.
