When the average Joe or Sally sees/hears "vape", they are conditioned to automatically think of e-cigarettes.
==============
Son: Dad, we have to talk. Did you see that huge explosion in Michigan that killed a guy with a projectile a mile away?
Dad: Yeah, those gas canisters are dangerous!
Son: Yeah, no, dad. That was because of vape.
Dad: But it says right in this article in front of me that it was caused by gas canisters. You know, those things you can get at a headshop? That was a headshop warehouse that happened to have some vape gear. It doesn't even specify if it was e-ciga....
Son: Dad, I know you like to vape and that it's like your Messiah, but I think it's clouding your ability to reason and think. Look at the title of this article, look at paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 7, 11 and 12. They say specifically that it was a vape supply warehouse. In fact, paragraphs 2 and 7 say so twice.
Do you want that to be your house, Dad? I mean, you'll blow up the whole damn neighborhood!
Dad: But son, it clearly states it was gas canisters that caused the explosion. Did you ever see me use a gas canister with my e-cigarette vaping gear?
Son: Dad. Listen. I really think you should stop vaping. I'll help you, please say you'll quit.
Dad: Why are you overreacting like this? Calm downand and think a moment.
Son: I'm not, and I am calm, but you need to read the article again. I can even find you 20 more that all say it was because of vape.
Dad: But I've read 3 of them and all three don't say the cause was from vape gear, they say it was from gas canisters, which I can tell you are not used in e-cigare...
Son: OK, Dad, listen. Um, I hate to say it but if you don't quit vaping, I'll be too afraid to let the grand kids in your house anymore. Hell, I don't even wanna come over anymore if you keep vaping.
Dad: Well that's just ridiculous now. The articles only mention vape, but they all say the cause was from gas canisters. Why are you ignoring that?
Son: Dontcha see? Vape is more dangerous than running a m3th lab! I'm getting chills just thinking about that vape stuff in your house.
Whaddaya say, Dad? It's us or the vapes.
Dad: You do realize that I may end up smoking cigarettes again.
Son: Dad, you won't. I'll see to it. But, Dad. Do you not see what just happened? I mean, on the off chance you do go back to smoking, wouldn't you agree you'd be better-off?
Dad: Uuuuuuuhhhh, I don....
Son: And not to mention, EVALI, Daaaad. Remember... EEE-VAAWWW---LEEEE?? Daaad?
C'mon, Dad, vaping is worse than smoking and I think you know it. You're just being difficult because you're addicted to it. That's how vape addicts are. Nicotine addiction - especially vape addiction - is worse than h3erion addiction, Dad. It's true. It's all over Google, Dad.
