A month ago, I took a trip north, to meet my new granddaughter, who had been born just 2 weeks prior. My daughter was an occasional smoker, not heavy, by any means, but had quit altogether when she became pregnant. While at her house, at one point, I said that I was going to step outside for a vape. To which my daughter responded: "Dad, those things are worse than smoking". I simply responded: " I appreciate your concern, but my experience tells me they're not." That was the end of it. I saw no reason to be any more confrontational than that.

Well first off let me say hello all and vape on!
I'm so tired of the average Joe telling me how vaping is bad for you. We vapors understand the risk of vaping and it is a lesser evil than cigarettes. Usually I've noticed that when they say vaping has health risks I just say I wouldn't want to smoke arsenic and it shuts them up.
They try to base there facts on vaping from bold lies....I had one guy tell me glycerin crystallized and PG was what made antifreeze not freeze...that and he said there were fillers in commercial juice that were bad for you.
My response was this....PG IS IN INHALERS.....VG IS APPLYED TO SKIN....AND FLAVORS ARE NOT A RISK ALL FACTOR...excuse my caps lock it just irritates me when they base there opinions as facts....come on people that don't vape....wake up and smell 2015. I have vaped for almost a year with no health effects and there's many More that have vaped for 3-4 yaears with no health damage...
Ask a 5 year smoker or even a 1 year smoker the damage of there health

Sorry for my venting but this truth needs to be spread like wild fire and people need to know facts before opinions.
What kind of stuff have vape haters told you all?
Tell me your story. We all have one.
God bless y'all.

Heh I've had smokers try to tell me the dangers of vaping... I just laughed it off, the world is full of sheeple, they only believe what they see on tv and NEVER research anything...

7 plus years of vaping for some people and no degraded health issues to this day. Also it's safe for me to say that if someone already damaged lungs done by smoking and then that same person picks up vaping and it doesn't bother them or give them any signs or symptoms is amazing.

Education is the key for us to win this fight in the long run.
I''m not seeing enough of it here in this thread.
:(

For me, it depends on the encounter. If someone appears interested, or at least on the fence, I'll take the time, and explain, the best I can. But I wont waste my time on those who who are just dead set on being anti.

How are you not seeing the education in this thread?
All we are doing is protecting ourselves and telling it how it is at this point in time.
Are you referring to us as dumb or lacking because we have listened to people talk junk about something they have no idea about OR are we educated enough to figure out what our body's tell us while we vape? We are smart enough with enough insight to feel and tell what is harming to our bodies. Vaping is a lesser evil. It's not completely safe and nothing on this world is...even our tap water isn't safe...if you knew how much actually harmed us then you would see that ALL of us who have dropped cigarettes are willing to learn all we can.
I think we are all very smart here for coming together and uniting for a better cause and also we are educated enough to not smoke cigarettes and not only harm ourselves by doing so but also harming surrounding people with second hand smoke.

Yes I did just make a lot of grammar mistakes. :)

Education is the key, right? Ok, then believe it or not this: The Truth About Diacetyl - Mt Baker Vapor is a very good piece of information to educate on diacetyl. Sure, it's on an ejuice site, I don't even buy from them, but they even posted CDC papers proving their information. It's educational.

I find it very hard to take the CDC seriously about ANYTHING with their stance on vaping. They've sacrificed their integrity to Big Money, and now nothing they say can be taken without a VERY LARGE grain of salt.

If I get a person telling me why I shouldn't be vaping I usually tell them to get lost...I don't waste my time with folks telling me what I should or should not be doing...its my life and its none of their frickin business telling me how to live it...[emoji12]

Heard this one the other day -
"I'm sure those e-cigs are worse for you than cigarettes"
I simply responded with, I'll happily vape even if any (or even better - all) of the 4 ingredients in e liquid are found out to be carcinogenic, because 4 sure as hell still beats hundreds in cigs!

True. But it just shows there's a lot more to the story than what we see at face value. I don't quite trust anyone in the government myself either.

Any particular reason you don't buy from them?

I bought from them when I first started vaping a few years ago. Now, I make my own juice. I don't buy juice from anyone, well except Wakonda from Nicoticket when its on sale. Love that delicious stuff. I have no qualms with MBV. They are actually descent and well priced. The are really popular with new vapers.

I am 71 and a 55 year smoker who started vaping 10 months ago today. To say my health improved is an understatement. I feel great, I can breath don't cough my lungs up anymore and have way more energy. I may not live longer but I will live better.
