This thread makes me feel old. Very old. And I suspect a lot of the responses correlate with the ages of the respondents. I was raised by smoking parents in an era when close to half of adults smoked and nobody worried enough about either the smell or the effects to take their habits outdoors, except maybe cigar smokers. I started smoking long enough ago (late 1960s, at around age 14) when anti-smoking hysterics were still pretty low-volume, anti-second-hand smoke complainers were dismissed as crackpots, and smokers weren't widely condemned as bad people. Had I been born, say, 15 years later, I guess I would only have remembered a time when smokers were widely seen as bad people and branded myself as such. But I'm not sure I would have started smoking in such a social environment, and I marvel that so many did.

Lol the problem is that theres more car/fuel etc smoke than cig smoke my friendim not talking about second hand cig smoke but the other smoke others dont seem to care about and they exposed everyday with no complaint.
Just google "radon".
Oh, I know. No arguments from me on this one. There's no such thing as a truly harm-free environment; it's called LIFE. Most people manage to survive quite nicely, right?
As a bachelor with no kids it's kinda weird reading theses posts about how considered people are for kids these days. I'm 26 now and when I was a kid adults never hesitated to smoke around kids, made us ride in the bed of pick up trucks, let us roam the streets alone as young as 8 etc. Talk like this would have been considered coddling a child. but I guess that's why most the kids in my neighborhood were already smoking by the time they were 13. The world changes fast I guess. lol
I've only read the first page. So, forgive me if it's been suggested. Why not invite the mother over with her son. Use the occaision to show her how to vape. Explain the benefits. Set up a sample-bar of your favorite juices/PVs/whatever you have on-hand. Conversion is the key to our success. One more vaper is one more vote if the time comes.
I'm sure all this about SHS is from the WHO study. You all do realize that study showed children raised around SHS were 22% less likely to get lung cancer don't you?
Maybe it doesn't add up to common sense but that is what the findings of the study showed. What it showing that means is there is no statistical importance to kids being exposed to SHS. When the WHO study didn't show what the ANTZ wanted they buried the studied and released their claims anyway.
The EPA study release it's claims before the study was done and they used obviously skewed rules to produce the results they wanted.
These ANTZ are not to be trusted. If you want to believe them about your kids and SHS how long will it be before you'll be believing them about vaping?
If you don't like your kids coming home smelling like smoke you don't need to make up lies, being a vaper you will get caught in your own web.

i'm pretty sure its a bike helmet. no baseball helmet i've ever seen had straps or didn't come down around the ears. even without the baseball cap under it, it wouldn't cover the ears properly
Seriously thinking about this thread again one thing comes to mind. What would Richard Grieco do in the situation.
Actually I am female. No I don't know who that person is or what movie he starred in. I couldn't have seen it though, as I'm pretty sure I would have remembered those girly pouty lips and come hither eyes... So what does he, or his 'character' have to do with ex-smoking snobs then?
It is indeed, and I just discovered that it is available as a free streaming choice with my Amazon Prime membership. I know what I'm doing later.
Thanks for the info! I've got Amazon Prime and am always looking for good movies
Yeah, I just wish my Sony player had a better interface to Prime (And Netflix for that matter). But I have Prime, Netflix, and Hulu+ here. Haven't had cable TV in over 3 years now. Just HSIA from the cable company. TV would be at least another 40 bux a month that just wasn't in the budge. Even with spending less on vaping now (I'm almost broken even) compared to smoking, I doubt I will get it. Except maybe the networks feed I can add for 10 bux ... I just don't miss it these days. And I would rather dedicate my extra savings to fun things like vacations.

Yeah, guess we did stray off topic a bit. I have the 1st generation Roku gathering dust. Once I got my Sony BD player, it does all the Roku channels I used the most. Might eventually invest in a newer model and see how it does for me. Just enjoy that right now I don't have to change inputs on my receiver when I want to watch something else.

Good to see my fellow Floridian again.
