Oh, I think everyone here has you figured out. Don't think they have the right term to use for you though.
See... in the shooting community, we call someone like you a "Fud". One who believes the ONLY legitimate purpose of a firarme is the one THEY use it for, and everyone else is wrong, irresponsible, and deluded.
Yes, we do. Do you understand that, as free adults, some of us choose to vape because we like it? And we have every right to do so?
So don't recommend it as a lifestyle. That is your choice. But quit preaching your version of "morality" on everyone else in the community.
Newsflash: there are almost no moral absolutes in the world
.
I think we all see your point better than you do
You can call me whatever you like. I usually don't mind that. I understand the need to though.
I also can understand that you are mature enough to take responsibility for what you are doing. You have every right to do whatever you wish with yourself. There's no one denying that.
Morality is not a thing to be debated on such a forum. Suffice to say that (hopefully) most people around here understand it.
Down with "nanny-states", do-gooders / left-liberals, and pushers of forced belief systems. They have done enough harm already.
I still don’t understand this post. I am sorry. I have no tangent with politics, and I am not from US if that’s any help.
{MODERATED}
Also sorry for you backing out of the discussion. I really appreciate all input as this way, anyone else reading this post has more opinions available and could make a more informed decision.
I really wish other people not backing out, and invite more readers to have a written opinion.
If you’re decent that is.
I will not be meek about my vaping.
I vape around 60 watts on a mech, because it's cheap, and I like it. If something is off, I can tell, and I fix it. I use flavors that contain things others avoid, again, because I like it (Notice all the things I take responsibility for, even though "I learned it from you, ECF!!").
I'll recommend vaping to whomever I choose, because that's my choice - just like it's their choice to start doing anything they haven't done in the past, be it vaping, smoking, taking the latest FDA approved drug, or zapping themselves with electricity with the belief that if kills bodily parasites (that one cracks me up, but knock yourself out, I say). I will never discourage any adults, or smokers, from trying vaping.
If you want to box yourself into the "I think vaping should be this, and I think vapers should do this and think like that" corner, that's cool too. But that seems awfully close to how the FDA, WHO, CDC, RJWF, and the rest of the alphabet soup thinks.
But I guess like Atlas, they too have the weight of the world on their shoulders, and just want what's best from for me.
I keep reading about FDA, and I don’t know what that is. Let me look that up.
……………………………………………..
Interesting:
The FDA is responsible for protecting and promoting public health through the regulation and supervision of food safety, tobacco products, dietary supplements, prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs (medications), vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, blood transfusions, medical devices, electromagnetic radiation emitting devices (ERED), cosmetics, animal foods & feed[5] and veterinary products.
This is a US agency that has the task to protect people. Why are some vapers afraid of it?
If FDA finds something wrong in vaping then you should be glad they are protecting you, right?
The only thing that I may have against FDA or any other agency similar to it from other countries is that they didn’t yet ban smokes. Other than that, I don’t see anything wrong with the FDA censoring or at least regulating vaping IF there’s anything bad with vaping. You people should be glad they do it if it were the case off course.
Don't Rush none of your replies make sense anyway.
Trust me, I’m really trying but seems hard with some folks.
And therein lies the problem: your "valid point" is that we are somehow responsible for the actions of others.
I am responsible for myself, and my kid. Nobody else.
Congratulations: you sir are the first person I have ever set to "ignore" in the 20+ years I've been on the net.
Yes, I understand your frustration. But it seems a bit excessive to ban someone because they have a different point of view than yourself.
Me, I would just ban people that would use a very colored language. As long as we keep the discussion civilized I have no issue with a proper dialogue.
My action of posting here now has a single important purpose. So there is dialogue, ideas shared so other people have more than one point of view.
Most vapers here do it because they need to. It seems safer than smokes. For me, discussing how nice and cool clouds and flavors are is like bragging about the latest insulin shot gear and how cool it is to do it.
