Making people change...

[evilt34cher]

When I started vaping all of my friends made fun of my {MODERATED} as they called it, then after a few hours of explaining to them what vaping is and the difference and of course a bunch of hits, well one of my friends got on his phone and bought an eGo and my brother has lowered his intake from 1 pack a day to 1-2 cigs each day!
I feel great, specially for my brother who has a hearth condition and has never stopped smoking for a day since 1990, I told him that when he finally is able to spend a complete day without smoking I will buy him a big ... battery or a bunch of juices just because he earned it!
It feels great to be the "baby brother" (I'm 34) and make your 8 years older brother do something good for his health...I for one am glad I found out about vaping and I thank my friend for giving me that first: "What the {MODERATED} is that?! Lemme try it?!" which changed me...

That's great dude! You might want to take the illicit reference out of your post before a mod sees it though

I have a friend that was entranced that I started vaping after years of smoking and she expressed an interest in order to cut down or quit her dependence on the cigs. Right now, she's waiting for the vapemail to arrive. I'm hoping she succeeds. But, it makes me feel good to know that my experience with vaping influenced her. Here's hoping she is successful.

One thing you have to understand...you didn't make em change...you showed em how it's done and educated them! Great job...and Vape On!!!

Thanks for sharing this great story. It's been one of those days and your happiness has rubbed off on me! Congratulations and keep up the positive attitude, and keep spreading the good word!

Well... you tried.

I've converted or had a hand in converting roughly 20 people. It really does feel good to see them off the cigs. As many people as I have sent to Altsmoke's store here in Cincinnati, they should give me an Evic or something for free. LOL

 

[degnr8]

Well... you tried.

lol. don't get why you moderated the second one though since he was already using #$% for the letters

Outstanding! Good for you! My first rig was referred to by my wife was the inflammatory of effeminate. Now, she just says 'they're so big' <insert joke of choice here>. Who cares? You aren't smoking. The longer people seeing you doing it, the more natural it'll become. Good luck and have fun!

I don't think you can "make" anyone change, but seeing people get healthier based on your input is a happy thing.

This looks like a good place for today's success story:

A friend of mine told me that her dad trying to quit smoking and is down to 1/2 pack a day. He was coming to visit this weekend, so I got an EVOD with a matching twist battery (and charger) and a couple of bottles of 12mg juices I thought he might enjoy. After dinner tonight I showed him the PVs I carry in my pocket and gave him a puff, then I gave him the kit with some basic notes regarding use, maintenance, & further resources. He was digging it for the rest of the evening, and I think he might actually try this. If he does get into it, I reckon his knowledge will quickly surpass mine because I think he loves to learn new stuff.
