I asked my sister about what she thought of ecigs. she is a pharmacist. Her response threw me a bit since well, she is family and only found out at xmas time last year that I was an analog smoker for 5 years. She simply told me, you have such an addictive personality and you gotta stop it. First it was booze, then cigarettes, now ecigs? Get over it. Wow, I am really in shock. It was unprofessional from her, and I guess she didn't see me as a person with a real issue. But rather her black sheep sister. SHEESH

I don't even know if she knows what ecigs are. She seemed to know..but made no comment on any of it. NOTHING. I am just a bad person in her eyes. I guess that was the wrong thing to do. I was so gung ho about getting a "pharmacists" opinion. I am so tired of being shot down like this by my family. And that is strictly why I won't buy another ecig of any kind. I wanted a provari, but my family will see I vape, which I have to hide it from them. With my 510, they think its just a pretty pink pen in my mouth. Stealth vaping has become my way of vaping these days. If they dare saw a cloud of vape..OMG freak city on me! Even if I told them what was in it, they still would flip. I want out of this family. Can you divorce your own family?

She probably heard cigs and assumed they where flammable cigarette. Maybe if you explained to her what an e-cig is she might change her mind. If she doesn't oh well, your doing the right thing. You stopped smoking, your no longer coating your lungs in tar and you've added years to your life. Dont let her get you down. Sometimes peoples ignorance can be so frustrating you want to pull your hair out, but dont let it get to you. Just know you did the right thing.
 
Why bother?
If you are doing e-cigs to off yourself of the real thing, you don't need anyones approval or blessing...simple straight...and period.
You already know her attitude and I see little advantage in trying to please or appease her.

I don't know your past addictions and it is none of my (our) business. I do know that these are a great alternative to tobacco.

If you do your research, I think you will find e-cigs attributes are positive over real cigs by a large degree. My doctors (both) are intrigued and glad I am using them and the Holistic doc was thrilled with the ingredients, and talked to me about how well they are metabolized in the system and are basically ...... out as lactic acid.
But do your own studying on the subject, and don't cow tow to the fools.
