The anti-smokers stigma also offers opportunities for vaper missionaries like me.

I have on occasion approached the worker smoking areas of sams club home depot
etc. with my vaping rig in hand. Started conversations about it. There is always
interest about what I am doing and how its working for me, what are the cost,
where do I get vaping stuff.

I have lots of common ground with these people. We are all nic addicts,
all pleased that judgements are not being made, and all want to some
degree to get out of the tobacco habit. I encourage then to try it
by only saying it worked for me maybe it would for them.

We also talk about cars, winter storms, price of fuel etc.

For all intensive purposes, these people sometimes look like
pound pups, and as we all know you never train a pup
by brow beating them about their bad habits.

I firmly believe the the vapers movement is a ground roots
movement, and becoming more acceptable by word of month.

More and more people know a cousin, brother friend (or a overweight gray haired guy) etc.
that vapes and it seems to work for them, it looks a bit weird, but it does not smell bad,
so what hell if it works for them why not.
