Is vaping safe ?

[Terry Koontz]

I’m getting tired of people I know telling me that vaping is bad for me.
Is there a simple paper or report (not to complicated) that I can show these people ?

3 years in and I always get that as well. I'm to the point now where I tell them what I DO know and how it's helped me. If that doesn't stop their nonsense, I simply ask, "why do you care? If I know it's better, why not just take my word for it, you obviously haven't done any research on it!" The blank stares usually tell me all I need to know about the person telling me it's bad for me!!

Tell them you also run with scissors.

Promote e-cigarettes widely as substitute for smoking says new RCP report

There's a link in the first paragraph to their latest report on vaping. The Royal College of Physicians is the UK's professional body for doctors. They were also a major player in announcing and publicizing the fact that cigarettes (the burning kind) are dangerous.

It's only dangerous to the person who keeps telling me it's dangerous.

I just tell them, I'm 67 so I don't worry about it but feel better than I did when I smoked. No need to justify anything to them

Link also contains helpful infografic for those who don't like to read articles as well as a link to the study for further reading, for those who do. E-cigarettes safer than smoking says long-term study

One of the very young girls where I work told me a few days ago, while I was outside vaping and she was smoking (some sort of tobacco free cigarette) that vaping was worse than smoking cigarettes and nothing I said was going to convince her otherwise.

Some people will always be that way

Perhaps easier is explaining how many organizations are facing a loss of money and they'll understand better why so many are against it.

Sadly her generation will be taking care of my generation.

Think about that. Will keep you up at night.

I like to give them my most dazzling smile and say, "Pull my finger" But then....I am very old and VERY cranky.

I was at work the other day and was waiting outside for the boss to open up the front door to the warehouse. While I'm waiting I see this woman who works there that I had not seen in a bit. So I said hello good morning... she then asks me if I'm smoking still. I remind her that I use the electronic cigarette still. She responded to me saying, "Don't you know that it can blow up"? I did what I had to do at that moment. I realized that it's not worth arguing with her because she's stubborn and one track minded in the area of electronic cigarettes. What I did when I walked away was that I smiled very deeply inside and it felt really good. I knew inside that I am lengthening my life using my e-cig and that was all that matters. I learnt how to be silent to the electronic cigarette haters and still be laughing at them inside, like a motionless laugh. Sometimes it's just not worth answering back to them.

Here is a video that @qorax put together that sums up the UK Cancer Reasearch studies.

Cars blow up when you put industrial strength air freshener in the backseat then light a cigarette.

Or even better is the couple that put the propane grill in the back seat and blew the car up

I call for an immediate ban of both air freshener and cigarettes. And cars. And parking lots. <sarcasm>
