Well, i am a new member so i am not allowed to post this in the forum its meant to be in so here goes...

In Ukraine they celebrate christmas on the 7th so today i was with my girlfriend driving from the city to her village, a small and kind of isolated one. We were travelling on the inter city bus. It was a 3 hr drive so i had to vape. Decided its better to stealth vape as i did not want any attention. Took my first mouthful in held it and exhaled, a bit of vapor visibly came out. My heart stopped pounding, looked around from the corner of my eye to see if anyone saw it. Nope, so ok, kept on doing that, later got more confident. Got some wierd looks, i guess they were thinking that i am crazy, that i was holding a pen all the time and sucking on it. Well ehh,after a few minutes the stares stopped but started again as new people boarded the bus and old ones exited it. Later i did not care so much. Ok thats all fine till i reached my destination.
Met my girl friend's family, greeted them. Her fathers a smoker, so we went out to smoked, pulled out my e cig, explained it to him, wanted him to quit, but i saw he did not understand it fully and was not interested in changing over to e cigs. While smoking i finished the cart, so i went in to refill. In the room, only her gramd mother was there. So i explained to her what an e cig is and what i am just about to. Shes an old lady, did not understand the concept at all. I guess she does not understand the difference between cigarettes and nicotine. Anyways the moment i started to drop the juice into the cart, she gave out a loud screech!!!! I was like, WTF!!! "narcotics, drugs, you stopped smoking and now you started on drugs" she kept on going! I was like, hell no! I had to lie that its available at the pharmacist to make her finally calm down. I know its not right, but i had no other choice...

Well thats my first time...

I get strange looks, especially from people sitting next to me at stoplights. I've vaped in the bars and casinos here and to be honest I don't think anyone really notices at those places except my friends. I also play adult league baseball and I vape in the dugout. My team mates ask me questions but no strange reactions. Smoking is against the law at the city parks here, so I've caught flak from some of the umpires but once I explain to them that I am NOT smoking they think nothing of it. I have yet to try vaping in stores and other places where smoking is not allowed, but sometimes I do it stealth with no problems.

Sb they probably thought you had some new fancy delivery system of the illegal kind ! :D

Thats exactly what she thought and i thinks the police in the village will have the same opinion. Now i feel weird holding it in my hand in front of her. Her dad just just saw me inside the room puffing off but made nothing of it. Something to do with old age i guess ))

I guess I wont be shooting up the e-juice while overseas then... Darn. I was planning on saving a bundle and just inject the stuff into my neck. Blast!

Be careful in which country you openly vape...here in cities no one cares, villages are a different story, i guess i will be on the headlines of The Village Daily if anyone saw me on the streets smoking )

This reaction comes strictly because they do not understand. It is not uncommon and the reactions range from violent to one of curiosity and fascination. On the bus you got the intermediate reaction. At her parents' house you received the violent one.

The easiest way is to explain this thoroughly to your GF and her parents will come around as the use of e-cigs spreads.

I really hope the e cigs spread but i guess people not interested in quitting won't use e cigs, eg her dad.

And luckily for me my girlfriends with whom i live together, loves the fact i went from a smoker to vaper, no smell, no cig butts to clean up after me, and oh yes BETTER sex with a harder ding dong! So she supports me all the way.
