Why are people concerned with age appearance anyway. Whether you look 30 or 50, if your hot your hot, if your ugly then we'll your ugly. You can be 50 and look like a ugly 30 year old or you could be 25 and look like a hot 40 year old. Hmmm...maybe I should stop talking.

I'm 75, and look like a hot 18 year old. Okay, 20 year old.

Hair you have hair? Grey is fine with what hair I still have.
I'm in my mid 30's, so hopefully I will have hair for awhile. It's only my facial hair that seems to be popping up grey, and it started in the last year, maybe it's the nicotine!

How about tastebuds that prohibit it? :D

Seriously... I can tolerate spinach if it's raw (salad), collards if they're barely cooked (stir fried lightly mixed with mustard greens)... but turnip greens??? Not even with YOUR mouth! :eek::confused:

Yeah, I do raw spinach in salads, and even sometimes on sandwiches.
But collard greens or turnip greens? No chance.

Around here, we have discovered that cooked kale is generally unnoticeable.
And you'd be surprised how many things you can put it in without even noticing.
:)

My wife just made a fantastic potato and kale chicken soup the other day.
And not long before that she made rigatoni with Italian turkey sausage and kale.

Too much money was being wasted. What was wasted on this addiction probably couldve bought a new car.

you know what...;) ???

I bet that -statistically- owning & driving a car is probably a lot more dangerous & life threatening than vaping ? ;)

Doesn't always work that way.

I met this smoking hot chick one day at my work. Almost couldn't believe women could look that good.

Later I saw her with a lady I worked with. This lady looked like she could have been an elderly, wrinkled ape person on the original planet of the apes movie. I kid you not other than a little color, no makeup needed.

Immediately, I knew they were mother and daughter. It was unbelievable how identical they were yet how far opposite they were on an attractiveness scale.

We're talking extra digits in either direction for what was essentially the exact same person.

Same build, height, face, hair, everything...

Except facial skin didn't age well.

This was over a decade and a half ago and it still baffles me.

I'm 46. Quit with the nicotrol gum that my hospital handed out 10 yrs ago, after smoking for ~20 yrs. When ecigs came out--i thot they looked weird. Love Love Love all of my ecigs now!!! And rebuilding.
I'm looking more and more like my well-fed elderly Dad. Except he has more cleavage...

Heh, that's funny. Everytime I see someone now with a cigarette hanging out of their mouth, my immediate reaction is "How odd!"

:lol:

Noone my age vapes here in the Rust Belt, that i've met, anyway. Vaping slow to catch on. With the younger folks, it is sub-ohm and drippers. But i never see them out and about with their rigs, just in a couple of local b&m. All of my out-and-about vaping is 'stealth-vaping'. Stores have just started to pop up here and there, and the Walgreens and gas stations are carrying some clearomizers now. All of my gizmos i bought online. Except for my very first ecig--bought @Sheetz three yrs ago.

The only time I've stealth-vaped is a couple times in stores, usually in their bathroom, and once in an auto-dealership. Why would anyone stealth vape if you're just out in your car, or walking thru a parking lot or something? Makes no sense at all; how are people going to know about it, if they never see it? I've had a couple people stop me and ask me questions about it, which I'm very happy to answer, and assure them that yes, it's even better than smoking, and definitely helps the quitting smoking.

I've run into a few vapers here and there, or see them out in those parking lots, and the guy who first came to the door to sell us an ADT system was a vaper -- and his partner as well. It's not really a huge deal, at least as far as I've seen, though there are tons of vape shops, and the ones I normally go to are always crowded now, though when I first started in early 2014, they mostly weren't.

Where on earth did you get that idea that nicotine ages you just like cigarettes do? Anyway, I don't spend that much money on ecigs at all and although I take my mod everywhere I go I don't feel like a slave to anything. Plus, now that I'm back to DIY (being that there are pretty good clones out there as well as a few brands that also sell their concentrates) I spend even less. Oh, and I don't feel like a loser. :)

I don't let anyone see me vape. Other than my friends and family. My on-the-go rigs look so unlike a cig (box mod and tanks)--that i am always afraid that people will mistake it for something else.
I would never let anyone see me drinking a glass to tomato juice 'cause I'm always afraid the might mistake it for a bloody Mary. ;)

I am gone alot from my house;i commute pretty far to my job. I vape in my car on the road, but i'm not real flashy about it.(Not like back when i used to twirl around my glowing Marlboro in a jade cigarette holder...) I hope that ecigs are around for a long time. People will get used to seeing them being used in cars and stuff. Smoking analogs in every dang public place used to be de rigueur. I remember just about dying every time my Mother would drag me into the bathroom at Strouss's lol
